8:20 No, an electric field can indeed exist without an magnetic field, and vice versa. The time term in Maxwells 3. and 4. equations just tells you than when one field is changed over time, the other is induced.

Yeah. I was shouting at the screen a few times during this vid, and this was one of those times. The other was during the clumsy attempt to explain how moving charges in an antenna create a propogating signal. GUYS. Moving charge creates a changing E field, which creates a changing B field, which creates a changing E field, etc. An experienced guitarist knows this better than these guys, just by knowing how pickups work. Yikes.
@deang56227 ай бұрын
@@patrickmestabrookNo that is incorrect. Moving charges create a magnetic field. To be more precise a steady current creates a magnetic field. A changing current, charge being accelerated causes an EM/RF field, photon(s) which comprises a magnetic field component, an electric field component and propagating away from the wire at the speed of light. An electric field is created by the presence of charge. That charge can be stationary or moving.

~7:30 When speaking of the mathematics behind Maxwell's Equations: '∇' is the nabla symbol; however, when used in mathematics it is called the "del operator". When the ∇ is used on a scalar, e.g., ∆f, "del f", is called the "gradient of f." Used in a dot product on a vector, e.g., ∇ • B⃗ "Del dot B⃗ is called the "Divergence of B⃗". Used in a cross product it is called the Curl. "Del cross B⃗", ∇ x B⃗, is the Curl of B⃗. 73, W1JP

In three dimensions with Cartesian space, the operator can be interpreted as a shorthand for the column vector (d/dx, d/dy, d/dz). This gives you the three usages: gradient: compute partials (R^3 to R^3, elementwise), gives direction of steepest ascent and maximum rate of change for all directions at a point divergence: inner product (sum of partials, R^3 to scalar, or L1-norm of gradient), measures convexity of a scalar field at a point curl: outer product (R^3 to R^3), measures revolution of a vector field around a point, direction determines axis/direction of revolution (RHR) and magnitude determines total revolution

I hope you take this as a constructive comment because I think it's cool that you make these videos. Consider your audience when getting into technical stuff like Maxwell's equations. There are two kinds of viewers. Ones who are already familiar with the material and are protesting the inaccuracies like the claim that an electric field cannot exist without a magnetic field. The other is someone who hasn't learned (note i didn't write "studied") physics or electrical engineering. Do any of those viewers develop a better understanding of Maxwell's equations or electromagnetics by watching? They might be better served by an equation-free discussion of how moving charges create magnetic fields and how changing magnetic fields create electric fields. Discuss how when that induced electric field causes charges to move, that moving charge counters the magnetic field. People need to understand the fundamentals before you start throwing mathy looking stuff at them.

Few corrections on Maxwell's Equation - 1. 8:15 *Electric fields can exists without a Magnetic field.* There are actually two types of electric field - Electrostatic field and Induced Electric field. One is due to stationary charge distribution(Gauss law) and other one is due to a changing magnetic field(Faraday's laws). 2. 8:41 J is not displacement current. *J is the CURRENT density.* Displacement current is actually the other term in Ampere's Law which is ε(δE/δt).

One picture that is missing is the transition from either a high characteristic impedance at the antenna-free space interface from a dipole, or the low characteristic impedance from a loop antenna to 120 x pi (377 Ohm) free space impedance.

I assume that your intention is to get youngsters interested in the field of radio frequency transmission & reception. A very noble enterprise indeed. Might I suggest that to begin with you omit all the Maxwell, Faraday etc stuff & just focus on a composite wave which can be transmitted & received over a range of frequencies depending primarily on the aerial. Then explain in simple, preferably non technical terms how this works . Once you’ve achieved this you can step slowly into the simple equations which in turn give a more comprehensive understanding of what’s going on. Only a suggestion. !!!

Simply while talking pressure waves move in free space , similarly the spinning electrons create magnetic field and moving electrons creates electric field when there is positive voltage a.c wave these are applied on the rod and in a fraction of a second they are again taken out which are electrons taken out from the system making the magnetic field field converse because magnetic field is a closed loop every time, so with magnetic field is perpendicular to electric field in propagation they form em wave this is what closed loops and the way they propagation is done is by pushing one wave like the constant water when stone is thrown one wave pushes other in front they push each other "waves push each othere and electrons push each other" this is fundamental how they push is Maxwell law😊

@AmRad Podcast There is also an error in the equation 8:28 - there should be no factor 1/c^2. This factor, or epsilon0*mu0, is to be found in the wave equations derived from Maxwell's equations: (1) Nabla^2*E-epsilon0*mu0*(de^2_E/de_t^2)=0 for electric field and (2) Nabla^2*H-epsilon0*mu0*(de^2_H/de_t^2)=0 for magnetic field. Because there is formula epsilon0*mu0=1/c^2 for the speed of light in vacuum we can also write Nabla^2*E-(1/c^2)*(de^2_E/de_t^2)=0 and Nabla^2*H-(1/c^2)*(de^2_H/de_t^2)=0. Greetings from Poland!

@@JensenPlaysMC Oh yes, you're right, excuse me. But I know different form of the equation (that is in a Polish book for students of electronics) which I mixed up with that of 8:28. The version is: Nabla x H = J + de D / de t where there are different vectors: H which is B / mu or B / mu0 in vacuum and D which is epsilon * E or epsilon0 * E in vacuum. This form is more clear in my view and it corresponds well with the previous Maxwell's equation: Nabla x E = - de B / de t . I also found a form: Nabla x B = mu * (J + epsilon * (de E / de t)). If we factorize this we achieve mu * epsilon or mu0 * epsilon0 which is mu0 * J and (1 / c^2) * (de E / de t) as in 8:28 because mu0 * epsilon0 = 1 / c^2.

I would like to ask you for help on measuring rf field strength. Is there an accurate way to measure the rf field where the location is inside of one wavelength? I would like to measure frequencies that are in the hf amateur radio bands starting at 1.7 mHz and going up to 30 mHz. Do I want to measure the e-field or the h-field? I think that the e-field would be easier to measure. The equipment I have is a Siglent spectrum analyzer which I believe to be accurate and I have an older field strength meter, EFS-1, which works but I am not sure about the calibration. I read a paper from Keysight Technologies which describes how to use a spectrum analyzer to measure the e-field. (859xE: How Do You Measure Electric Field Strength with an Antenna and Spectrum Analyzer?) I'm not sure about what they call the antenna factor which gives volts/meter in terms of dB's. I checked into buying an accurate rf field strength meter that can measure lower hf frequencies. I found them to be very expensive. What is driving this project, is the FCC requirement to measure rf exposure around the amateur radio station. The ARRL has an online rf exposure calculator. I have several unknown factors at my station and I would like to be more accurate. I also want to learn more about rf fields. Thank you.

As a RF technichian who worked in Rf transmission field for 17 years. I have come to the conclusion that electromagnetic waves is actually just magnetic waves that travels through space. There is no electric field. The only way to get an electric field or current flow out of the signal is when you put a conductor in the field. Like a receive antenna. So there is electric field in transmit antenna. Which causes magnetic field which changes polarity at same speed and amplitude as the original current in antenna. From there it is just magnetic field only all the way through the air untill it crosses some antenna or conductor. If I am wrong air must be the perfect electrical conductor so that there is no conversion losses from converting between electricity and RF all the time.

You can see the evidence of the electric field by using a lens to focus the beam from a high-powered laser down to a small volume: if done in air, the air breaks down into an ionized plasma from the intensity of the strong electrical field. Air does not break down into ionized plasma under the influence of a magnetic field of any intensity.

@hevans1944 It was also well established the earth was flat. Laser is more likre light therefore they can use a lens. Lenses does not affect electromagnetic waves. Lets talk measurable facts. The signal measured from transmitter is a quater of the signal if you double the distance you measure at. Meaning there is basically no loss. Copper conducters used widely for electricity always have some heat loss when conducting any frequency. Now air is a much worse conductor, called an insulator. Now every time the electromagnetic wave gets converted from magnetic field to electric field and back there should be massive losses. Which willmake the first measurable fact untrue. And in outer space there is a vacume. Even better isolator than air. Which will make sattelite tv imposssible. I also cannot remember reading in any handbook anything about how far aprt this conversion between electric and magnetic fiels happens. Only that it lookslike a chain. Only thing I know is that when you put conductor in the magnetic field it gets converted into electrical signal which you can measure and use. And that standing about 2 meters from transmit antennas having a few KW of power never shocked me from current flowing in the air.

Can magnets increase performance of antenna ?

Haven't heard of any such phenomenon. The antenna's performance depends on whether there is an obstacle in between the transmit and receive antennas as it attenuates the EM wave and on the radiation pattern of the antenna. Some antenna radiate more EM waves in one direction, for example the dish antenna which connects to your TV and communicates with the satellite. In my opinion, a magnet placed very close to an antenna will disrupt the EM wave and you will get an even weaker signal from the antenna on your receiving device. But, that's just what I think would happen. I don't have any proof for it.
