Why TEM wave is not supported by hollow waveguide?

Arif Ullah khan utman kheel this is because for conductor E parallel is zero this means that the surface of the wave guide is at equipotential and this potential follow the laplace equation .it means that there is no maxima and minima inside the wave guide . this means that the electric field inside zero . hence the TEM do not exist in wave guide only TE and TM can be exist . if we place some conductor in the wave guide then the conductor inside will not be equipotential and the TEM waves can be exist . like in Coaxial cables


Why induced emf alternates?

Here is A Simple answer for this question as you know that emf is induced in the conductor when there is change of flux linkage to the conductor which gives rise to the inducement of electric field in the conductor that provide drift velocity to the electrons hence emf is induced in the conductor but the last only till the change in flux in progress and becomes zero as soon as the flux linkages becomes constant hence we summaraize that for inducement of current there must be change in change of flux hence change in electric field that gives rise to allternating emf.


The magnitude of the voltage induced in a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field depends on the what?

The magnitude of the voltage induced in a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field depends on the length and the speed of the conductor.


What will happen to the electric field when a dielectric is placed?

The electric field is weakened when a dielectric is inserted.


What do you mean by eddy current loss?

Eddy currents are currents induced in conductors to oppose the change in flux that generated them. It is caused when a conductor is exposed to a changing magnetic field due to relative motion of the field source and conductor, or due to variations of the field with time. This can cause a circulating flow of electrons, or a current, within the body of the conductor. These circulating eddies of current create induced magnetic fields that oppose the change of the original magnetic field due to Lenz's law, causing repulsive or drag forces between the conductor and the magnet. The stronger the applied magnetic field, or the greater the electrical conductivity of the conductor, or the faster the field that the conductor is exposed to changes, then the greater the currents that are developed and the greater the opposing field.

When an electric field is applied to a conductor does the electric field develops within the conductor or around the conductor?

The electric field will develop inside the conductor, depending on the characteristics of the electric field -- in a steady state (DC) or in an alternating mode (AC). The higher the frequency of oscillation, the shallower the field will reside in the conductor -- skin depth (check the related link). Hence, when the frequency is high, only the few mm's of the outer skin participates in the action (AC electrical conduction.) In steady state (DC), the frequency is zero, the electric field is distributed inside the whole conductor.


What is the size of the electric field inside any charged conductors?

Inside a conductor, it's zero.


What are three facts about electric field lines?

1. Electric field lines of force originate from the positive charge and terminate at the negative charge. 2. Electric field lines of force can never intersect each other. 3. Electric field lines of force are not present inside the conductor, it is because electric field inside the conductor is always zero. 4. Electric field lines of force are always perpendicular to the surface of conductor. 5. Curved electric field lines are always non-uniform in nature.


The electrical intensity inside a charged hollow sphere is?

The electric FIELD inside a charged hollow CONDUCTOR is zero.


What is the principle of electrostatic shielding?

The method of protecting a region from the effect of electric field is called electrostatic shielding. The electric field inside the cavity of a conductor is zero. Therefore, any instrument or an appliance can be placed in the cavity of a conductor so that it may not be affected by the electric field.


Can a person stay safely inside a spherical conductor charged to a very high voltage?

Yes. The static electric field inside a charged conductor is zero, no matter what the voltage is between the conductor and the rest of the world.


When ac passes through a conductor which fields are produced a magnetic field or an electric field?

when ac passes through a conductor, the field produced is an electric field


Why electric field lines are always perpendicular to the surface of the conductor?

to save the static character of conductor in the presence of electric field


If a conductor is placed in a uniform electric field does the conductor gain any charge?

The conductor will not gain any charge that is not placed on it by you. However, the electric field will displace the free charges already within the conductor (by its nature) such that there will be a non-uniform surface charge density. Remember: a conductor must have zero electric field inside it, so the charges rearrange to cancel the external E-field. Again, this only repositions the existing charge, but it does not add or remove any charge.


Can Magnetism cause an electric current to flow in a conductor?

Yes, a MOVING magnetic field will cause electric current to flow in a conductor. Conversely an electric current flowing in a conductor will cause a magnetic field.


Why are eddys formed in a conductor in an external magnetic field?

Eddy currents are electric currents that are produced inside conductors, through the process of changing the magnetic field in the conductor. The external magnetic field is used as a barrier or skin to protect the eddy.


The process of generating an electric current from the motion of a conductor in a magnet field is?

The process of generating an electric current from the motion of a conductor in a magnetic field is known as induction.
