Using spherical coordinates calculate the bound charges, b [C/m2] and b [C/m3]. [8 marks] b) Given that the relative permittivity of the material is, r = 10, calculate the electric field E(r) and electric flux density D(r) inside the material. [4 marks] c) An infinitely long circular cylinder carries a uniform magnetization parallel to its axis of M = Mz zˆ , where Mz is a constant and zˆ is the unit vector parallel to the cylinder axis. Calculate the bound current densities Jb [A/m2] and Kb [A/m]. [8 marks] Page 2 Semester 1 Examination Physics 560.3XX Question 2. (5 marks each) Consider a rectangular waveguide constructed from an infinitely conductive material with dimensions a and b as shown below. The axis of the waveguide is along the z direction. Note: in a conductor the complex wave number is: 1 1 2 2 2 2 k˜ 1 1 i 1 1 2 a) Given that a=2.28 cm and b = 1.01 cm, what TE modes will propagate in this waveguide if the driving frequency is 15 GHz? [5 marks] b) Suppose you only wanted to excite one TE mode, what range of frequencies could you use? [5 marks] c) Draw a ray diagram in the y-z plane, which illustrates how the wave fronts propagate in the waveguide. Show graphically (or with another method) if the phase and group velocities are greater than or less than c. [5 marks] d) What would happen to the propagating modes if the metal is a real conductor (i.e. small Ohmic losses are present)? Calculate the skin depth at 15 GHz if the waveguide is made from copper of conductivity, =107. [5 marks] Page 3 Semester 1 Examination Physics 560.3XX Question 3. a) What is dispersion? [2 marks] b) Show that the phase and group velocity of light in vacuum equals the speed of light c, how does this differ in a dispersive material? [3 marks] c) Due to vibrations of electrons in the lattice of a dielectric, the complex permittivity may be written as; ˜r 1 fj Nq 2 2 m o j j 2 i j Explain in detail what you know about the physics described by this equation, with regards to a plane wave travelling in the dielectric medium (a derivation is not required, but please include in the explanation the meaning of each variable in the above formula). [7 marks] ˜ r , calculate the phase d) Assuming the loss term above is zero, given that k˜ c and group velocity within the dielectric. [5 marks] e) What is anomalous dispersion? [3 marks] Page 4 Semester 1 Examination Physics 560.3XX Question 4. a) In the time dependent and static cases, the Magnetic Flux Density B, may be represented by the curl of a vector potential field given by, B A . Why is this so? Define the scalar potential for the static and time dependent cases, how do they differ?
