a closed surface integration to a volume integration. But it may also be used to convert the volume
integral of a function that can be expressed as the divergence of a vector field into a closed surface
integral.

Ampeére’s Law and the Magnetic Field
9.1 INTRODUCTION
A static magnetic field can originate from either a constant current or a permanent
magnet. This chapter will treat the magnetic fields of constant currents. “Time-variable magnetic
fields, which coexist with time-variable electric fields, will be examined in Chapters 12 and 13.
92 BIOT-SAVART LAW
A differential magnetic field strength, dH, results from a differential current element dl. The
field varies inversely with the distance squared, is independent of the surrounding medium, and has a
direction given by the cross product of {dl and ay. This relationship is known as the Biot-Savart
law:
1 dl Xan
an=—T ae (Alm)
The direction of R must be from the current element to the point at which dH is to be determined,
as shown in Fig. 9-1.
Current elements have no separate existence. All elements making up the complete current
filament contribute to Hand must be included. ‘The summation leads to the integral form of the
Biot-Savart law:
1dlx an
4nR?
A closed tine integral is required to ensure that all current elements are included (the contour may
close at <).

(Af the wave propagates in the —z direction, E,/H,=—n. In effect, y is replaced by —y and the

The factor e“** attenuates the magnitudes of both E and H as they propagate in the +z
direction. The expression for @, (5) of Section 14.2, shows that there will be some attenuation
untess the conductivity o is zero, which would be the case only for perfect dielectrics or free
space. Likewise, the phase difference 8 between E(z, t) and H(z, f) vanishes only when @ is zero.

If the propagation velocity is known, Af =u may be used to determine the wavelength A. The
term (0/we)* has the effect of reducing both the velocity and the wavelength from what they would
be in either free space or perfect dielectrics, where o=0. Observe that the medium is dispersive:
waves with different frequencies @ have different velocities u.

Since a@=0, there is no attenuation of the E and H waves. The zero angle on 1) results in H
