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:

    Genius is the naturalist or geographer of the supersensible regions, and draws their map; and, by acquainting us with new fields of activity, cools our affection for the old. These are at once accepted as the reality, of which the world we have conversed with is the show.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
