The Third Wave

The third wave restates the right hand curl rule that a current loop produces a  B  field perpendicular to the loop; a loop in the anti-clockwise sense produces a  B  field toward the observer.

From the previous post "Magnetic Genie",

×Y=4πρe4πc2jet

If  c  is upwards, then  ic  is to the left.  Since  ×Y  is in anti-clockwise, then  ρe  and  jet  are both in the clockwise sense because of the negative sign.  This directions are consistent with the right hand rule for finding magnetic field due to a current loop.

A rotating disc with a certain non uniform charge distribution will generate a EMW when rotated...

×Y=4πρe

The presence of  ρe creates an  E  field,

.E=4πρe

A rotating  Y generates a changing  B field and a rotating  E field,

×E=i1cBt+Y

So,

(.E)+2E=i1c×Bt+×Y

(4πρe)+2E=1c(i×B)t4πρe

But a rotating  B in turn generates a changing  E field,

i×B=1cEt

And we have

2E=1ct{1cEt}

2E=1c22Et2

An  E  field wave!

Now consider a flat coil spiral disc or a loop carrying currents...

×Y=4πρe4πc2jet

we will now set  4πρe=0 and consider only the flow of  je

×Y=4πc2jet

We know that  je  creates a changing  E field and around je a circular  B  field,

i×B=1cEt+4πcje

Differentiating wrt  t,

t{i×B}=1c2Et2+4πcjet --- (*)

The vortex of  Y  creates a changing  B  field and an  E  field along it circular path,

×E=i1cBt+Y

(.E)+2E=i1c×Bt+×Y

But  .E=4πρe

(4πρe)+2E=1c(i×B)t4πc2jet

Substitute (*) into the above and since we set ρe=0,

2E=1c22Et2

And we have a wave.

In both cases we can independently create a EMW, which is expected from superposition.
