    If you want to see more of these videos, or would like to say thanks for this one, the best way you can do that is by becoming a patron - see the link above :). And a huge thank you to all my existing patrons - you make these videos possible.
    In this video, I introduce the concept of 'boundary conditions' - or how the electromagnetic fields in one material affect the adjacent fields in a different material. I use Faraday's Law to derive an equation relating the tangential electric fields between the two materials.
    This is part of my graduate series on optoelectronics / photonics, and is based primarily on Coldren's book on Lasers as well as graduate-level coursework I have taken in the EECS department at UC Berkeley.
    Hope you found this video helpful, please post in the comments below anything I can do to improve future videos, or suggestions you have for future videos.

    You explained it to me like I was a little kid, and you know what? I’m not mad. Your explanation is EASILY THE BEST one on TH-cam, and trust me, I’ve been around many a channel. Thank you for prioritizing clarity over fancy talk. You’re a real one, Jordan. Best wishes with your channel 😊🙌🏽🎊✨

    My EM II prof said I shouldn't try to attempt to visualize EM, but this is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

      Sounds like a shit professor. My em professor was pretty similar. He spent more class time boasting about his research than actually teaching the subject

    I was stuck with this concept for the last two weeks. I tried to visualize it, worked on it but couldn't actually get to the point where I could actually understand this. But now I can safely say I have grasped the concept of boundary condition. Thank you so much for the video.

    Thank you for this excellent visualization and explaining the boundary condition. I have a question regarding the direction of electric field vectors in material and vacuum side. To make a loop, the tangential component of electric field vectors in material and vacuum side may be pointed in opposite direction.

  • @danielribastandeitnik9550
    @danielribastandeitnik9550 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good video, but I think it is missing an important detail to the argument that made me spend some hours thinking haha. When you say that the parallel (tangencial as you call it) components of the fields are equal, it got me a little confused because given a 2D plane (since the boundary is a plane, not a line), you need to define a specific unit vector parallel to the plane and only so can you define a specific parallel component of a vector. If you don't do this, there is an infinite possible 'tangencial component vectors' since you can rotate the trajectory you have draw. What I think is missing is to start saying that, given the two electric-field vectors on both side, one can always find a plane that contains both fields. So if you make this plane parallel to the screen (to the paper you are drawing), then you can continue with the arguments you presented and end concluding that the parallel components that are defined as (a) parallel to the boundary and (b) contained in the common plane to both vectors must be equal. If you want to go one step further, you can say too that n x (E_1 - E_2) = 0, where n is the normal vector to the boundary and 'x' is the cross-product. In the light of what I wrote and a little thinking leads to this conclusion which is a nice geometrical relation.

    hello, i am doing a report, I have a question, does it apply for antenna study?

    • @JordanEdmundsEECS
      @JordanEdmundsEECS  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yup! Usually antennas are made out of metals and so the electric field inside them is zero (or very nearly zero) everywhere.

  • @murtaza-magsi
    @murtaza-magsi ปีที่แล้ว

    The line integral of E equals zero (0). Doesn't that means that when you kind of sum/accumulate the E vectors on the loop they cancel each other out. So that the E field drawn in red should be negative to the white E field (i.e. oriented in opposite direction).
