[A] Derive the Maxwell equation based on Faraday’s law for time varyingfields. Justify the significance of Faraday’s law and the respective Maxwell’sequation.[B] In case of electrostatic fields, Maxwell's equation derived above (in part[A]) will remain the same: Justify/Contradict
Solution
[A] To derive the Maxwell equation based on Faraday's law for time-varying fields, we start with Faraday's law, which states that the induced electromotive force (EMF) in a closed loop is equal to the negative rate of change of magnetic flux through the loop. Mathematically, this can be expressed as:
∮E • dl = -d/dt ∬B • dA
where ∮E • dl represents the line integral of the electric field E along a closed loop, ∬B • dA represents the surface integral of the magnetic field B over a surface bounded by the loop, and d/dt represents the derivative with respect to time.
Now, according to Maxwell's equations, the line integral of the electric field E along a closed loop is equal to the negative rate of change of magnetic flux through the loop plus the time rate of change of the magnetic field within the loop. Mathematically, this can be expressed as:
∮E • dl = -d/dt ∬B • dA - ∫(∂B/∂t) • dA
where ∫(∂B/∂t) • dA represents the surface integral of the time rate of change of the magnetic field B over a surface bounded by the loop.
Comparing this equation with Faraday's law, we can see that the additional term - ∫(∂B/∂t) • dA accounts for the time rate of change of the magnetic field. This additional term is significant because it shows that a changing magnetic field can induce an electric field, leading to the generation of electromagnetic waves and the propagation of energy through space.
[B] In the case of electrostatic fields, the Maxwell equation derived above (in part [A]) contradicts. This is because in electrostatics, the electric field is constant and does not change with time. Therefore, the term - ∫(∂B/∂t) • dA becomes zero, and the equation simplifies to:
∮E • dl = -d/dt ∬B • dA
which is equivalent to Faraday's law for static magnetic fields.
