 When an event in one place has an effect on
something at a different location, we talk
about the events as being connected by a
“field”.
 A field is a spatial distribution of a quantity; in
general, it can be either scalar or vector in
nature.

 What are Electromagnetic Fields?
EMF always consists of both an electrical
field and a magnetic field.
The transmission of electrical energy
through wires, the broadcasting of radio
signals and the phenomenon of visible light
are examples of electromagnetic fields (EMF).

 What are the Common Sources of EMF?
 Electricity is the most common source of
power throughout the world
 because it is easily generated and transmitted
to where it is needed.
 As electricity moves through wires and
machines, it produces EMF.
 Once electricity is delivered to the user, it
continues to produce EMF throughout the
wiring systems of offices, homes, schools,
factories and other structures.

 In the workplace the generators of EMF
include
computers, cell phones, fax machines,
copy machines, fluorescent lights, printers,
scanners, telephone switching systems,
electrical instruments, motors and other
electrical devices.

In homes, the immediate sources of EMF
include
Electric blankets, electric water bed
heaters, hairdryers, electric shavers,
television sets, stereo systems, air
conditioners, fluorescent lights, telephone
answering machines, cell and portable
phones, refrigerators, blenders, portable
heaters, clothes washers and dryers, coffee
makers, vacuum cleaners, toasters, and
microwave ovens.

 EMF is not only produced by electricity
moving through wires or machines, but it is
the nature of all television and satellite
transmissions, as well as radio and
microwave communication systems,
including cell phones.
Transportation methods such as
automobiles, trucks, airplanes, electrical and
magnetic trains and subway systems are
significant sources of EMF.

 Children are at a GREATER RISK when comparing
with adults.
 Radiation Penetration
in head of adult.
 Radiation Penetration in
head of 10 year old child.
 Radiation Penetration in
head of 5 year old child

Now, all living things are subject to million of times
more radiation than 50 years ago.
Most of the changes have happened in the last 30
years.

We will never be able to experience this peaceful
world again

 EMF & Cell Phone Radiation could be the cause
of your headaches.
 Your lack of energy is not through doing too
much – it’s EMF.
 EMF & Cell Phone Radiation causes depression.
 The stress in your life is more likely to be EMF
than lifestyle!
 EMF & Cell Phone Radiation causes minor and
major illnesses including cancer.
 EMF & Cell Phone Radiation IS THE MAIN CAUSE
OF INSOMNIA!
 EMF & Cell Phone Radiation causes birth defects
and abortions .

 In Electromagnetics, all quantities are the
functions of space and time.

 Divergence theorem :
Stokes Theorem :

 Electrostatics is the branch of
electromagnetics dealing with the effects
of electric charges at rest.
 The fundamental law of electrostatics is
Coulomb’s law.

 Electrical phenomena caused by friction are part of
our everyday lives, and can be understood in terms
of electrical charge.
 The effects of electrical charge can be observed in the
attraction/repulsion of various objects when
“charged.”
 Charge comes in two varieties called “positive” and
“negative.”

 Coulomb’s law is the “law of action” between
charged bodies.
 Coulomb’s law gives the electric force between
two point charges in an otherwise empty
universe.
 A point charge is a charge that occupies a region
of space which is negligibly small compared to
the distance between the point charge and any
other object.

ELECTRIC FIELD
An Electric field exists in the presence of a charged body
ELECTRIC FIELD INTENSITY (E)
A vector quantity: magnitude and direction (Volts/meter)
MAGNITUDE OF E: Proportional to the force acting on a unit
positive charge at a point in the field
DIRECTION OF E: The direction that the force acts

The Electric Field (E) is represented by drawing the Electric
Displacement Vector (D), which takes into account the characteristics of
the medium within which the Electric Field exists.
  EmcoulD 2
, the Electric Conductive Capacity or Permittivity, is related to the

 An electric field is a force field.
 If a body being acted on by a force is
moved from one point to another, then
work is done.
 The concept of scalar electric potential
provides a measure of the work done in
moving charged bodies in an electrostatic
field.

 The work done in moving a test charge from one
point to another in a region of electric field:

 In evaluating line integrals, it is customary
to take the dl in the direction of increasing
coordinate value so that the manner in
which the path of integration is traversed is
unambiguously determined by the limits of
integration.

 The electrostatic field is conservative:
◦ The value of the line integral depends only on
the end points and is independent of the path
taken.
◦ The value of the line integral around any closed
path is zero.
