Explicit Examples of Free-Space Non-Planar Electromagnetic Waves Containing Magnetic Scalar Potentials

چکیده
Electromagnetic waves (EMW) are formed by electric and magnetic fields, both together solution of Maxwell's equations. The magnetic field is solenoidal always, while the electric field is solenoidal in charge-neutral regions only. Hence, conventionally, free-space electromagnetic fields are transverse to the direction of propagation; also, there exists a electric scalar potential but not a magnetic companion. Contrarywise, for the same homogeneous case, we exhibit explicit examples to show that: (a) Longitudinal magnetic fields are compatible with linearly polarized non-planar EMW, and (b) Magnetic scalar potentials are compatible with EMW. The direction of propagation of non-planar EMW oscillates around the direction of propagation of the plane EMW.

Quasi-Static Theory for Uniaxial Chiral Omega Media
The problem of unbounded uniaxial chiral omega media in the presence of both static electric and magnetic point charges is investigated. For this purpose scalar electric and magnetic potentials in these media are introduced. Using these potentials, the corresponding electric and magnetic fields are determined. The similar problem of static electric and magnetic current sources with the goal of ...
متن کاملGenerating Electromagnetic Waves from Gravity Waves in Cosmology
Examples of test electromagnetic waves on a Friedmann–Lemâıtre– Robertson–Walker (FLRW) background are constructed from explicit perturbations of the FLRW space–times describing gravitational waves propagating in the isotropic universes. A possible physical mechanism for the production of the test electromagnetic waves is shown to be the coupling of the gravitational waves with a test magnetic ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a free anthropomorphic voxel model of human body for wide-band computational electromagnetics dosimetry
To calculate and evaluate wave scattering and penetration of electromagnetic waves in different biological tissues it is necessary to use a realistic model of the human body, with all tissues resolved and separately assigned with appropriate electric/magnetic properties. We report the development of a realistic 3D whole-body human model that has been adapted for simulation in CST software, cont...
متن کاملTE and TM beam decomposition of time-harmonic electromagnetic waves.
The present contribution is concerned with applying beam-type expansion to planar aperture time-harmonic electromagnetic field distribution in which the propagating elements, the electromagnetic beam-type wave objects, are decomposed into transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) field constituents. This procedure is essential for applying Maxwell's boundary conditions for solving d...
