Here is a conglomerate of notes gathered for the graduate EM classes 210A and 210B.
Electrostatics
Image charge coordinates\[ q' = - \frac{a}{y}q \text{ , } y' = \frac{a^2}{y} \]
\[ I = nAve = \frac{\partial Q}{\partial t} \]
\[ \vec{E} = -\vec{\nabla} \phi - \frac{\partial \vec{A}}{\partial t} \]\[ \vec{B} = \vec{\nabla} \times \vec{A} \]
Waves
Maxwell's equations in vacuum:\[ \nabla \cdot \mathbf{E} = \frac{\rho}{\mathcal{E_0}} , \nabla \cdot \mathbf{B} = 0 \\ \nabla \times \mathbf{E} = - \frac{\partial \mathbf{B}} {\partial t}\ , \nabla \times \mathbf{B} = \mu_0\mathbf{J} + \mu_0 \varepsilon_0 \frac{\partial \mathbf{E}} {\partial t}\ \]
Radiation
Boundary Conditions:\(E_{\parallel, 1} =E_{\parallel, 2} \) | \(D_{\perp, 1} - D_{\perp, 2} = \sigma_{f}\) |
\(H_{\parallel, 1} -H_{\parallel, 2} =\mathbf{k_f} \times \mathbf{n}\) | \(B_{\perp, 1} =B_{\perp, 2} \) |
\[ E_I(x, t) = A e^{-i\omega t + i\mathbf{k_1}.\mathbf{x} }\\ E_T(x, t) = C e^{-i\omega t + i\mathbf{k_2}.\mathbf{x} }\\ E_R(x, t) = D e^{-i\omega t - i\mathbf{k_1}.\mathbf{x} }\\ B_I(x, t) = \frac{1}{v_1} A e^{-i\omega t + i\mathbf{k_1}.\mathbf{x} }\\ B_T(x, t) = \frac{1}{v_2} C e^{-i\omega t + i\mathbf{k_2}.\mathbf{x} }\\ B_R(x, t) = - \frac{1}{v_1} D e^{-i\omega t - i\mathbf{k_1}.\mathbf{x} }\]
Where we have used[1] \[ i \omega B = ik E\]. Solving for the boundary conditions, \[ C = \frac{2A}{1+\alpha}, D = \frac{1-\alpha}{1+\alpha} \] Where we have used[2] $\alpha = \frac{v_1}{v_2}$. Therefore, \[ R=\frac{|E_R H_R^*|}{E_IH_I^*} =\left(\frac{D}{A}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{1-\alpha}{1+\alpha}\right)^2 \\ T=\frac{|E_T H_T^*|}{E_IH_I^*} = \left(\frac{C}{A}\right)^2 \alpha = \frac{4\alpha}{(1+\alpha)^2} \]
\[ \frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + \nabla\cdot\mathbf{S} = - \mathbf{J}\cdot\mathbf{E} \]
, where J is the total current density and the energy density u is \[ u = \frac{1}{2}\left(\varepsilon_0 \mathbf{E}^2 + \frac{1}{\mu_0}\mathbf{B}^2\right) \]
\[ \omega_{c} = c \sqrt{\left(\frac{n \pi}{a}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{m \pi}{b}\right) ^2}, \]
where \(n,m \ge 0\) are the mode numbers and a and b the lengths of the sides of the rectangle. For TE modes \( n,m \ge 0\) and \( n \ne m \), while for TM modes \( n, m \ge 1 \).
\[ \overset{\leftrightarrow }{ \mathbf{T}}_{ij} \equiv \epsilon_0 \left(E_i E_j - \frac{1}{2} \delta_{ij} E^2\right) + \frac{1}{\mu_0} \left(B_i B_j - \frac{1}{2} \delta_{ij} B^2\right)\ \]
Derivation from Wikipedia
Multipole
Electric Dipole Radiation:\[\mathbf{B} = \frac{\omega^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 c^3} (\hat{\mathbf{r}} \times \mathbf{p}) \frac{e^{i\omega r/c}}{r}\\ \mathbf{E} = c \mathbf{B} \times \hat{\mathbf{r}}\]
which produces a total time-average radiated power P given by
\[P = \frac{\omega^4}{12\pi\varepsilon_0 c^3} |\mathbf{p}|^2.\]
\[ \boldsymbol{\tau} = \mathbf{p} \times \mathbf{E}\] for an electric dipole moment p (in coulomb-meters), or
\[ \boldsymbol{\tau} = \mathbf{m} \times \mathbf{B}\] for a magnetic dipole moment m (in ampere-square meters).
The resulting torque will tend to align the dipole with the applied field, which in the case of an electric dipole, yields a potential energy of
\[ U = -\mathbf{p} \cdot \mathbf{E}\].
The energy of a magnetic dipole is similarly
\[ U = -\mathbf{m} \cdot \mathbf{B}\].
Q1: A pulsar emits bursts of radio waves at two frequencies $\omega_1$, $\omega_2$. The pulses arrive at different times $t_1$, $t_2$ due to interaction with the interstellar medium- a dilute Hydrogen plasma. Find the distance $s$ from pulsar to earth, given $\tau= t_2 - t_2$. See F'12Q12 for solutions.
Q2: Obtain the non-relativistic Larmor radiation equation from the relativistic one. (S'08Q10)From Wikipedia: \[ P = \frac{2}{3}\frac{q^2}{c^3m^2}\left(\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}\cdot\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}\right). \]
Assume the generalisation;
\[ P = -\frac{2}{3}\frac{q^2}{m^2c^3}\frac{dP^{\mu}}{d\tau}\frac{dP_{\mu}}{d\tau}. \]
When we expand and rearrange the energy-momentum four vector product we get:
\[ \frac{dP^{\mu}}{d\tau}\frac{dP_{\mu}}{d\tau} = \frac{v^2}{c^2}\left(\frac{dp}{d\tau}\right)^2 - \left(\frac{d\vec{p}}{d\tau}\right)^2 \] where I have used the fact that \[ \frac{dE}{d\tau} = \frac{pc^2}{E}\frac{dp}{d\tau} = v\frac{dp}{d\tau} \] When you let \(\beta\) tend to zero, \(\gamma\) tends to one, so that \(d\tau\) tends to dt. Thus we recover the non relativistic case.
