Problem Set #4
Poynting’s Theorem and Wave Power
Question #4.1
In phasor form, the magnetic field intensity for a 400 MHz uniform plane wave in a
certain lossless material is given by:

H s ( z ) = (2aˆ y − j 5aˆ z )e − j 25 x A / m
Knowing that the maximum amplitude of E is 1500 V/m, Find and calculate:

a) , , , r and r , b) H ( x, y, z, t )

Question #4.2
Most microwave ovens operate at 2.45 GHz, assume the  = 1.2x106 S/m and r=500
for stainless steel interior. If Es = 500o at the surface, find:
a) The depth of penetration or skin depth s.
b) The amplitude of electric field intensity Es as a function of the angle and plot this
curve as the field propagates in the stainless steel.

Question #4.3
In a nonmagnetic medium (o and ) if the electric field intensity of a plane wave is
given by:

E ( x, t ) = 4 sin( 2x107 t − 0.8 x)aˆ z V / m
Determine and calculate the following:
a) r and .
