Homework Statement
In the problem, the electric scalar and vector potentials are,
[itex]\phi=0, \vec{A}=A_0 e^{i(k_1 x-2k_2y-wt)}\vec{u_y}[/itex]
I have to find E, B and S.
Then, I have to calculate [itex]\phi '[/itex] that satisfies [itex]div\vec{A}+\frac{\partial \phi '}{\partial t}=0[/itex] Then calculate E and B.
Is it possible to find [itex]\vec{A}'[/itex] and [itex]\phi'[/itex] that satisfy the previous equation and produce the same E and B as [itex]\vec{A}[/itex] and [itex]\phi[/itex]?
Homework Equations
[itex]\vec{E}=-grad\phi-\frac{\partial \vec{A}}{c\partial t}=0[/itex]
[itex]\vec{B}=rot(\vec{A})[/itex]
The Attempt at a Solution
Using the equations I find:
[itex]\vec{E}=A_0wi/c e^{i(k_1x-2k_2y-wt)}\vec{u_y}[/itex]
[itex]\vec{B}=A_0ik_1 e^{i(k_1x-2k_2y-wt)}\vec{u_k}[/itex]
[itex]\vec{S}=\frac{c}{4\pi} \vec{E}x\vec{B}=1/(4\pi) A_0^2wk_1sin^2(k_1x-2k_2y-wt)\vec{u_x}[/itex]
For the next part I find,
[itex]\phi ' = - 2K_2 c A_0/(w) e^{i(k_1x-2k_2y-wt)}+ constant(x,y)[/itex]
Then, I calculate E and B as before.
I don't know how to answer the last part. Any idea?
Thank you.
