Electromagnetic Fields - ECEG 2102: Chapter 3 - Electric Fields in Material Body

This document discusses electric fields in material bodies and includes the following topics: 1. Currents including convection and conduction currents 2. Properties of conductors and dielectrics 3. Polarization in dielectric materials where an applied electric field causes displacement of positive and negative charges. It also covers boundary conditions at dielectric-dielectric and conductor-dielectric interfaces and provides examples of problems applying these concepts.

Polarization in dielectric
• Dielectric posses no free charge that can move when electric field is applied
• All charge are bounded to their atoms and when an electric field is applied
positive charges goes one way and negative charge goes the opposite direction
• A dielectric in which this displacement has taken place is called polarized.
• We can classify this dielectric as polar and non polar

Conductor –Dielectric boundary condition
• For conductors we can say that

1. No electric field may exist within a conductor; that is, ρv = 0, E =


0
2. Since E = −∇V = 0 V = const, there can be no potential
difference between any two points in the conductor; that is, a
conductor is an equipotential body.
3. The electric field E can be external to the conductor and normal
to

its surface, viz.,
4. Conductors can be used for electrostatic screening or shielding.
