Question of reflection and transmission of TEM wave in normal incidenc

Suppose TEM wave in +z normal to a boundary on xy plane at z=0. We know E & H are tangential to the boundary. Let ##\vec E_i=\hat x E##, be the incident wave towards the boundary therefore incident...

question on coriolis effect with drag force

I really need help with this question. A small floating object initially moves with velocity v on the surface of a liquid at latitude λ. The drag force due to liquid is F=-αv. Find the shape of the...

Change in flux of a transformer

Hello, As I understand, a simple transformer works by using the Input AC in the primary coil to generate magnetic field in the iron core, which then generates an AC in the secondary coil. My question...

Question in reflection and transmission at oblique incidence.

I am reading Griffiths p387. It is my understanding that [tex]\tilde E(\vec r,t)=\hat r E_0 e^{j(\omega t-kr)}[/tex] Where ##\vec r =\hat x x+\hat y y+ \hat z z## is the positional vector from the...

Equating differentials => equating coefficients

Hi all, In thermodynamics one often has equations like A dx + B dy = ∂f/∂x dx + ∂f/∂y dy From which follows A = ∂f/∂x B = ∂f/∂y Can anyone explain to me why this conclusion is necessary from a...
