The Third Wave

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

From the previous post "Magnetic Genie",

×Y=4πρe4πc2jet×Y=4πρe4πc2jet

If  cc  is upwards, then  icic  is to the left.  Since  ×Y×Y  is in anti-clockwise, then  ρeρe  and  jetjet  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×Y=4πρe

The presence of  ρeρe creates an  EE  field,

.E=4πρe.E=4πρe

A rotating  YY generates a changing  BB field and a rotating  EE field,

×E=i1cBt+Y×E=i1cBt+Y

So,

(.E)+2E=i1c×Bt+×Y(.E)+2E=i1c×Bt+×Y

(4πρe)+2E=1c(i×B)t4πρe(4πρe)+2E=1c(i×B)t4πρe

But a rotating  BB in turn generates a changing  EE field,

i×B=1cEti×B=1cEt

And we have

2E=1ct{1cEt}2E=1ct{1cEt}

2E=1c22Et22E=1c22Et2

An  EE  field wave!

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

×Y=4πρe4πc2jet×Y=4πρe4πc2jet

we will now set  4πρe=04πρe=0 and consider only the flow of  jeje

×Y=4πc2jet×Y=4πc2jet

We know that  jeje  creates a changing  EE field and around jeje a circular  BB  field,

i×B=1cEt+4πcjei×B=1cEt+4πcje

Differentiating wrt  tt,

t{i×B}=1c2Et2+4πcjett{i×B}=1c2Et2+4πcjet --- (*)

The vortex of  YY  creates a changing  BB  field and an  EE  field along it circular path,

×E=i1cBt+Y×E=i1cBt+Y

(.E)+2E=i1c×Bt+×Y(.E)+2E=i1c×Bt+×Y

But  .E=4πρe.E=4πρe

(4πρe)+2E=1c(i×B)t4πc2jet(4πρe)+2E=1c(i×B)t4πc2jet

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

2E=1c22Et22E=1c22Et2

And we have a wave.

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