Maxwell equations

Maxwell equations:


The electric and magnetic fields are governed by a set of four laws, known as Maxwell’s equations. Maxwell’s equations form the basis for the entire electromagnetic field theory.

Max well’s equations in integral form:

1. Faraday’s law:


                        A time-varying magnetic field gives rise to an electric field. Specifically, the

electromotive force around a closed path C is equal to the negative of the time rate of

increase of the magnetic flux enclosed by that path, that is,faraday

     2. Ampere’s circuit law:

Time varying electric fields give rise to magnetic fields. Specifically, the magnetomotive force (mmf) around a closed path C is equal to the sum of the current enclosed by that path due to actual flow of charges and the displacement current due to the time rate of increase of the electric flux (or displacement flux) enclosed by that path; that is,

ampere

        3. Gauss law of electric field:

Gauss’ law for the electric field states that electric charges give rise to electric field.Specifically, the electric flux emanating from a closed surface S is equal to the charge enclosed by that surface, that is,

gauss-electric

4. Gauss law of magnetic field:

Gauss’ law for the magnetic field states that the magnetic flux emanating from a closed surface S is equal to zero, that is,

voltage

Voltage, is is the difference in potential between two points  in an electric field. also called electromotive force. voltage is the   pressure from an electrical circuit’s power source that pushes charged electrons (current).           grater the voltage grater the flow of electric current. Voltage is symbolized by   V or E . The standard unit is the volt. One volt will drive one columb  (6.24 x 10 18 ) charge.such as electronics through a resistance of one ohm. Voltage can be direct or alternating. A direct voltage maintains the same polarity. In an alternating voltage, the polarity reverses direction periodically. The number of complete cycles per second is the frequency which is measured in hertz.

BJT (bipolar junction transistor)

A bipolar junction transistor is a three terminal semiconductor current controlled device with two P-N junctions. The three terminals are emitter(E), base(B) and collector(C). the emitter junction is heavily doped, base is less doped and made very thin and collector terminal is moderately doped. Collector has grater size than emitter and base terminal is thinner than both. (The thinner the base, the stronger the E-C electric field, and the larger the impact of a small current injected into the base. Explained clearly in active mode operation below) emitter terminal is moderate in size. A BJT has two types of transistors: NPN transistor PNP transistor NPN transistor : In an NPN transistor a p-type material is sandwiched between two n-type materials.

P-N junction diode

A P-N junction diode is a basic diode. It is the combination of P-type and N-type semiconductor. symbol : P-N junction and potential barrier : A P-N junction is the basic building block of many semiconductor devices like diodes and transistors. P -n  junctions are formed by joining  n -type and  p -type semiconductor materials. Since the  n -type region has a high electron concentration and the  p -type a high hole concentration this difference in concentration creates density mismatch across junction which results to creation of potential barrier. The value of potential barrier v b  is 0.3 for germanium and 0.7 for silicon. Working : Forward bias: Application of positive charge at p-side pushes holes towards potential barrier and similarly negative charge at N-side pushes electrons towards barrier if input voltage is grater than potential barrier then electrons diffuse from the  n -type side to the p-type side. Similarly, holes flow by diffusion from the p-type side to the n-type side...
