Introduction

The present work deals with basic and fundamental concepts for the development of the
course electromagnetic theory and waves in addition to associating the importance of the
topics of the course according to the training of each student either electronic engineering
or telecommunications.
Activities to Develop

1) What is an electromagnetic wave?

They are the combination of waves in electric and magnetic fields produced by
moving charges. That is, what ripples in electromagnetic waves are the electric and
magnetic fields.

The creation of electromagnetic waves begins with a charged particle. This particle
creates an electric field that exerts a force on other particles. As the particle
accelerates, it oscillates in its electric field, which produces a magnetic field. Once
in motion, the electric and magnetic fields created by the charged particle are self-
perpetuating, this means that an electric field that oscillates as a function of time
will produce a magnetic field and vice versa.

2) What is electrical permittivity ε and magnetic permeability μ of a medium?

Electrical Permittivity: It is a physical parameter of materials that describes how

much is affected by an electric field. The information of the electric field is
contained in vectors E and D, where E is the intensity and D is the electric
displacement or density of electric flux. It is the latter that counts the influence of
the field on a material (analogous to the vector B of the magnetic field which is
called "magnetic flux density" or "magnetic induction" on a material).

Magnetic Permeability: Capacity of materials, means or substances to affect and

be affected by magnetic fields, as well as the ability to become sources of these,
that is, ability to create them without the need for external currents. This magnitude
is defined by the relationship between the magnetic induction (also called magnetic
flux density) and the magnetic field intensity that are affecting the interior of the
material, and is represented by the symbol .
3) In a vacuum, what is the value of the electric permittivity ε 0 and the magnetic
permeability μ0?

The permittivity of emptiness ε 0 is:

ε 0=8.8541878176 … . x 10−12 F /m

The vacuum permeability, also known as magnetic constant, is represented by the

symbol μ0 and in SI units it is defined as:

μ0=4 π x 10−7 T∗m∗A−1

4) From the following wave equation:

2π
(
E y ( x , t )= A sen ( wt−kx )= A sen 2 πft−
λ )
x =C 1 sen ( C 2∗103 t−C3 x )

Where C 1 , C2 and C 3 correspond to the last 3 digits of your identification, calculate:

C.C. 1082998429

The last three digits are 429

C 1=4
C 2=2
C 3=9

Then replace in the last equation, like this:

C 1 sen ( C 2∗103 t−C3 x ) =4 sen ( 2∗103 t−9 x )

a) Amplitude A

Conclusions

In the activity of pre-task one can glimpse each one of the concepts that are going to be
learned within the course of electromagnetic theory and waves as the electric
permissiveness, electromagnetic permeability and the properties of the electromagnetic
waves. The theoretical and practical concepts to be learned in this course are of vital
importance for the development of the professional practice either in area of electronics or
telecommunications since both require the analysis of signals and their applications.
