Electromagnetic theory

Although this great theoretical synthesis was the work of James Clerk Maxwell (Fig. 3.10) in Scotland, it in fact grew out of the experimental researches of many scientists, including Hans Christian Oersted in Denmark, Charles Augustin de Coulomb, Jean-Baptiste Biot, and Andre-Marie Ampere in France, and Michael Faraday (Fig. 3.11) in England. Oersted was the first to show in 1820 that there was an intimate connection between electricity and magnetism when he observed

It is from the properties of the materials involved that relationships between current density and the electric field, the electric displacement and the electric field, and the magnetic induction and magnetic field are established. In the event that the material through which the electromagnetic radiation is propagating is isotropic, and is moving slowly relative to the speed of light, and the fields involved are time harmonic, then the three material equations become 

the reach of Maxwell s electromagnetic theory extends all the way to lithography, where it guides the choice and usage of optical elements of lithographic exposure tools, as well as the interaction of these optical elements and radiation-sensitive resist materials with lithographic exposure radiations.

The central equations of electromagnetic theory are elegantly written in the fonn of four coupled equations for the electric and magnetic fields. These are known as Maxwell s equations. In free space, these equations take the fonn ... 

To this point, we have considered only the radiation field. We now turn to the interaction between the matter and the field. According to classical electromagnetic theory, the force on a particle with charge e due to the electric and magnetic fields is... 

The term a, therefore plays the role of a vector potential in electromagnetic theory, with a particularly close connection with the Aharonov-Bohra effect, associated with adiabatic motion of a charged quantal system around a magnetic... 

Since the charge becomes coupled with the oscillating field, q undergoes a periodic acceleration which we represent by ap. Next we borrow a relationship from electromagnetic theory to describe the field produced by an oscillating dipole such as the molecule we have described ...

Since p is a complex number, it may be expressed in terms of the amplitude factor tan P, and the phase factor exp jA or, more commonly, in terms of just P and A. Thus measurements of P and A are related to the properties of matter via Fresnel coefficients derived from the boundary conditions of electromagnetic theory. ...

According to electromagnetic theory, any time a charge capacitor changes its value a displacement current is generated, expressed as I = dQ/dt = CdV/dt + VdC/dt. 

This experiment established the nuclear model of the atom. A key point derived from this is that the electrons circling the nucleus are in fixed stable orbits, just like the planets around the sun. Furthermore, each orbital or shell contains a fixed number of electrons additional electrons are added to the next stable orbital above that which is full. This stable orbital model is a departure from classical electromagnetic theory (which predicts unstable orbitals, in which the electrons spiral into the nucleus and are destroyed), and can only be explained by quantum theory. The fixed numbers for each orbital were determined to be two in the first level, eight in the second level, eight in the third level (but extendible to 18) and so on. Using this simple model, chemists derived the systematic structure of the Periodic Table (see Appendix 5), and began to...
