2. Determine the charge density due to each of the following electric flux densities:

a)

b)

c)

3. The magnetic field in a certain region is given by the expression

a) Using the knowledge of Maxwell’s equation, find the curl of the induced electric field at
that location.

b) The electric field has 3 components, Ex (in the direction of x), Ey (in the direction of y), Ez
(in the direction of z). Using the result from part (a), find the x component of the electric
field if the y component is assumed to be zero.

4. a) For a parallel plate capacitor ε r=10, A=0.01 m2, distance between two plates, d=0.05 mm. If
applied voltage is V= 200 sin 200t, then find out displacement current density.
b) Electric field can be created either by a voltage source or by time varying magnetic field.

Between these two cases, for which will be true? Explain.

Write down the differences between conducting current density (J c) and displacement current
density (Jd)

6. A source free region is a region, where there is no net charge and no current.

Show that in a source-free region (J = 0, ρ v = 0), Maxwell's equations can be reduced to two.

Identify the two all-embracing equations.
