Transmission line Definition and 184 Threads

INTRODUCTION From the boundary conditions of the electromagnetic field in perfect conductors, it is deduced that in a transmission line with a time-varying current, the field vectors E and B in the dielectric lie in planes transverse to the conductors and also that the E field is normal to the...

Hello, Assuming that we have a single-phase electrical transmission line (short distance (< 50 km), stranded, non-isolated, made of aluminum conductor steel reinforced), I would like to know the resulting magnetic field (shape, structure, absolute value, and all other possible details) when...

According to Maxwell’s Equations, the speed an EM plane wave in free space, far from its source, is determined by the electric constant, ε0, and the magnetic constant, μ0, such that c = 1/√( ε0 μ0). The units of ε0 are capacitance per unit length and the units of μ0 are inductance per unit...

Trying to work out the match for a transmission line with 2x termination. Like the one here: https://ibb.co/p4dY7pF V1=1 R1=R2=T1=T2=50, V1 sees R1 and T1. So it is divided to half. Now you have 0.5V source with a 50 Ohms series impedance(T1) looking into a load that is a parallel combo of...

VR = IR = 400 [ 29*10^-6 * 800 * 10^3 ] = 9280 P = IV = 400*9280 = 3.7 MW I was able to calculate the correct answer from the above, but why can't I use the equation P= V^2 / R?
