ABSTRACT
In static electromagnetic fields, the static electric field and static magnetic field are independent. In time varying electromagnetic fields, the electric and magnetic fields are interdependent. These fields are generated by accelerated charges or the time varying current waveforms. This chapter describes two basic concepts in time varying electromagnetic waves: induced emf according to Faraday’s law, and displacement current. It determines boundary conditions between dielectric-dielectric, conductor–dielectric and conductor-free space by using Maxwell's equations. The chapter discusses the law of refraction for magnetic fields. It also includes review questions and answers, as well as multiple choice questions related to Maxwell’s equations for time varying fields.
