MCQ
A plane electromagnetic wave of angular frequency $\omega$ propagates in a poorly conducting medium of conductivity $\sigma$ and relative permittivity $\varepsilon$. Find the ratio of conduction current density and displacement current density in the medium.
  • A
    $\frac{\varepsilon \varepsilon_0 \omega}{\sigma}$
  • $\frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon \varepsilon_0 \omega}$
  • C
    $\frac{\omega}{\sigma \varepsilon \varepsilon_0 }$
  • D
    $\frac{\omega \sigma}{ \varepsilon \varepsilon_0 }$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon \varepsilon_0 \omega}$
b
$J_{c}=\sigma E_{0} \sin (\omega t-k x)$

${{\text{i}}_{\text{d}}} =  \in { \in _0}\frac{{{\text{d}}{\phi _{\text{E}}}}}{{{\text{dt}}}} =  \in { \in _0}{\text{A}}\frac{{{\text{dE}}}}{{{\text{dt}}}}$

$ =  \in { \in _0} \times {\text{A}}{{\text{E}}_0}\omega \cos (\omega {\text{t}} - kx)$

${\rm{Jd}} =  \in { \in _0}{{\rm{E}}_0}\omega $

$\frac{{{{\rm{J}}_{\rm{e}}}}}{{{{\rm{J}}_{\rm{d}}}}} = \frac{\sigma }{{ \in { \in _0}\omega }}$
