‘The magnetic field H and the time-varying electric ficld are related for time-varying fields. The
time-varying magnetic field does not exist inside a perfect conductor as the electric field is zero inside
it. Thus it can be concluded that there are no time-varying electric and magnetic fields inside a perfect
conductor, and there may be surface charge and surface current at the surface of a perfect conductor.
If we consider medium 2 as the perfect conductor, as shown in Figure 2.17, we have £,, Ds, 4), and By
identically zero, and the boundary condition equations become
E,=0
Hence, we can conclude that, at a perfect conducting surface, the electric field is always normal to the
surface (E, = 0), and the magnetic field is always tangential to the surface (B, = j1//, =0). The bound-
ary conditions of diclectric-conductor interface are given below:

2.9 WAVE EQUATION
To derive the fundamental wave equation in any media, consider the following Maxwell's equations in
differential form:
VxH==+J (2.16)
or

V-D=p, 2.18)
Vv B=0 2.19)
Consider a homogenous medium where ¢, #!, 6 are constants throughout the medium.
Now, taking into account the curl of Eq. (2.16) gives
