1.4. Application of complex notation allows for
the most general form of equations
Since we already know the principle and reasoning of applying complex variables
to fields and we can apply and coefficients from formulas (1.23) and (1.24)
to all equations (1.6 – 1.9).
We assume the coefficients
and which results for sum of (1.6) and (1.7) in:
.
For (1.8) i (1.9), we divide first (1.9) by
|
. |
(1.27)
|
The sum of (1.8) with coefficient
and (1.27) with coefficient is equal to:
, therefore
|
. |
(1.28)
|
We can see that by using the same coefficients
and ,
which were used
in (1.24) for
, following complex variables can be created for general sources:
|
, |
(1.29) |
|
(1.30) |
and consequently, we can express Maxwell’s equations in shorter form:
|
, |
(1.31) |
. |
(1.32) |
We have assigned the subscript t to variable
thus designating variable
without a subscript for even more general expression by introducing time variable
, therefore (1.32) can be written as:
|
, where
|
(1.33) |
This equation together with (1.31) present the shortest form of Maxwell’s equations and reduces sizes of resulting equations
in subsequent operations. .
1.5. Even More General Notation of Equations
It seems like, there is no simpler notation of Maxwell’s equation than shown in (1.33).
Perhaps simpler notation does not exist but further generalization is possible due to two possible versions of equations (similarly to 1.25 and 1.26) for two (left or right handed) coordinate systems.
Therefore, equation below
|
|
(1.34) |
represents Maxwell’s equations as well, so both versions, (1.33) and (1.34) should be always presented.
However, both versions can be written in one equation when we square both sides of equations which yields:
, therefore
|
|
(1.35) |
This is interesting expression, and perhaps can inspire some philosophical reflections on the essence of Maxwell’s equations.
It can be noted that
represents static, while
dynamic phenomena.
Expression (1.35) includes both possible versions (1.33) and (1.34) thus represents the highest degree of generalization.
It should be remembered that variable
for (1.33) is expressed by
, while for (1.34) is expressed by
.
In search for solutions of Maxwell’s equations it is sufficient to consider only one of the versions.
Therefore, in later chapters we will deal only with version (1.33).
