[eT £0308 Electromagnetics (2) naver- Homework Problem Set #1 \ 4 oh x (a) Write down the “continuity equation”. (b) What is the fundamental principle that continuity equation is based on? (c) Derive continuity equation from that principle. (d) Derive KCL (Kirchhof?’s current law) from continuity equation. ‘A long round metal wire of radius a and conductivity o is coated with another metal of 2 conductivity So. (@) What must the thickness of the coating be so that the resistance per unit length of the uncoated wire is reduced by 50%? (b) Assuming a total current [in the coated wire, find J and £ in both the core and the coating material. (©) Continued from (b), find the drift velocity (ud) and electron mobility (jc) in both the core and the coating material. The carrier density of the two metals are the same. 3. A dec voltage of 6 (V) applied to the ends of 1 (km) of a conducting wire of 1 mm radius results in a current of 1/6 (A). Find a) the conductivity of the wire, b) The electric field intensity in the wire. c) The power dissipated in the wire. d) The electron drift velocity, assuming electron mobility in the wire to be 1 4x10" (m?/V * s)- ) The electron concentration in the material. 4, Inthe figure below, the space between two parallel conducting plates each having an area Sis aries linearly from o, at one filled with an inhomogeneous chmic medium whose conductivity v plate (y= 0) to a, at the other plate (y = d). Assume that the inhomogeneous medium has @ constant permittivity ¢. A d-c voltage Vo is applied across the plates. Determine (@) the total resistance between the plates, (&) the surface charge densities on the plates, (© the volume charge density and the total amount of charge between the plates. 5. A d-c voltage Vo is applied across a cylindrical capacitor of length L. the radii of the inner and outer conductors are a and b, respectively. The Space between the conductors is filled with two different lossy dielectrics having respectively, permittivity €| and conductivity 0, in the region a E> I> I> R (you need to solve Laplace’s equation in cylindrical coordinates); (b) assume a current [> J-> E> Vo> RB.
