An electromagnetic wave of frequency 100 MHz propagates through a medium of conductivity, = 10 mho/m. The ratio of maximum conduction current density to maximum displacement current density is . [Take 14 0 = 9 109 N m2/C2]
Answer
1800
Solution
For E = E0 t:
Conduction current density: Jc = E (Jc) = E0
Displacement current density: Jd = 0 dEdt (Jd) = 0 E0
(Jc) (Jd) = 0
0 = 2 1084 9 109 = 1180
ratio = 10 180 = 1800
Answer: 1800
