Deriving Conditions for D field

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on deriving the boundary condition for the electric displacement field (D) at the interface between two media. The original poster seeks assistance in understanding why the D field is continuous across the boundary. A participant suggests that continuity is typically an assumption in deriving other outcomes, hinting at the relationship between transmitted and reflected waves at dielectric interfaces. The poster clarifies that this question is part of their exam preparation and emphasizes the need for a derivation of the boundary conditions. Overall, the focus is on the theoretical understanding of the D field's behavior at media interfaces.

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone would be willing and able to help me with this question.

Q. Derive the boundary condition satisfied by D at the interface between 2 media.

I know that the D field is continuous at the suface, but I need to be able to derive this.

If anyone can help I would be really greatful

Thanks a lot in advance

You need to be able to derive that the magnetic field is continuous? I would think that something like continuity would be the original assumption in deriving other outcomes. Are you trying to derive the boundary conditions, i.e. transmitted wave, reflected wave at a dielectric interface?
 
The question stated is a question on a past exam paper, I am trying to review these questions.

I need to derive the boundary counditions satified by D at the interface between 2 media

Please help

Thanks

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
