Exercise on Poynting Vector & Flow of energy
1) In a nonmagnetic medium

E 4 sin(2 10 7 t 0.8x)a zV / m
(a) r ,
(b) The time-average power carried by the wave
2
(c) The total power crossing 100cm of plane 2 x y 5 .
2) Given a uniform plane wave in air as

E 40 cos(t z)a x 30 sin(t z)a yV / m

(a) Find H
(b) If the wave encounters a perfectly conducting plate normal to the z axis at z 0 , find
the reflected wave E r and H r .
(c) What are the total E and H fields for z 0 ?
(d) Calculate the time-average Poynting vectors for z 0 and z 0 .
