Electric Field - Electrodynamic Fields

Electrodynamic Fields

Electrodynamic fields are E-fields which do change with time, when charges are in motion.

An electric field can be produced, not only by a static charge, but also by a changing magnetic field. The electric field is given by:

in which B satisfies

and ∇× denotes the curl. The vector field B is the magnetic flux density and the vector A is the magnetic vector potential. Taking the curl of the electric field equation we obtain,

which is Faraday's law of induction, another one of Maxwell's equations.

Famous quotes containing the word fields:

    I have passed down the river before sunrise on a summer morning, between fields of lilies still shut in sleep; and when, at length, the flakes of sunlight from over the bank fell on the surface of the water, whole fields of white blossoms seemed to flash open before me, as I floated along, like the unfolding of a banner, so sensible is this flower to the influence of the sun’s rays.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
