summary For a volume charge distribution For a surface charge distribution For a line charge distribution As an example, let us again consider an electric dipole consisting of charges +q and –q with a small separation d. Calculate the electric field intensity produced by the electric dipole. The electric potential at P produced by an electric dipole can be written down directly: Solution: Make a two-dimensional sketch of the equipotential lines and the electric field lines for an electric dipole. * Field and Wave Electromagnetics 电磁场与电磁波 2012. 3. 6 1.

Fundamental Postulates of Electrostatics in Free Space 1.1. Electric field intensity Electirc field intensity is defined as the force per unit charge that a very small stationary test charge experiences when it is placed in a region where an electric field exists. That is, The electric field intensity E is, then proportional to and in the direction of the force F. If F is measured in newtons (N) and charge q in coulombs (C), then E is in newtons per coulomb (N/C), which is the same as volts per meter (V/m). An inverse relation of above Eq. gives the force F on a stationary charge q in an electric field E: 1.2. Fundamental Postulates The two fundamental postulates of electrostatics in fr
