== Telegrapher's equations ==
The solutions of the telegrapher's equations<ref name="Hayt382_392">{{Citation |last=Hayt |first= William H. |year= 1989 |title= Engineering Electromagnetics |edition= 5th |publisher= McGraw-Hill |isbn= 0070274061|url= https://archive.org/details/engineeringelect5thhayt }}</ref>{{rp|381-392}} are functions of two parameters which are the [[propagation constant]], <math>\gamma</math>, and the [[characteristic impedance]], <math>Z_c</math>.  The propagation constant is often written as <math>\gamma = \alpha + j \beta</math> where <math>\alpha</math> is called the attenuation constant and <math>\beta</math> is called the phase constant.  The natural units for <math>\alpha</math> and <math>\beta</math> are nepers per unit length and radians per unit length, respectively. 

There are two solutions which can be interpreted as a forward propagating wave and a reverse propagating wave.
The forward wave, which has a voltage of <math>  V_F(x)</math> and a current of <math>  I_F(x)</math>, is given by:
:<math>  V_F(x) = V_{(F,0)} e^{-\gamma x}  </math> 
:<math>  I_F(x) = \frac {V_F(x)} {Z_c} </math> 

The reverse wave, which has a voltage of <math>  V_R(x)</math> and a current of <math>  I_R(x)</math>, is given by:
:<math>  V_R(x) = V_{(R,d)} e^{-\gamma (d-x)} </math>
:<math>  I_R(x) = -\frac {V_R(x)}{Z_c} </math>
where

:<math>  \gamma = \alpha + j \beta = \sqrt{(R + j\omega L)(G + j\omega C)} </math>.<ref name="Hayt382_392"/>{{rp|385}}
:<math>  Z_c = \sqrt{\frac {(R + j \omega L)} {(G + j\omega C)}}   </math></math>.<ref name="Hayt382_392"/>{{rp|385}}
:<math> v = \frac \omega \beta  </math> = the propagation velocity.
:<math> \lambda = \frac {2 \pi} \beta  </math> = wavelength.
:<math> d </math> = length of the transmission line.
:<math>  V_{(F,0)}   </math> = a constant that depends on conditions at <math>  x=0   </math>.
:<math>  V_{(F,d)}   </math> = a constant that depends on conditions at <math>  x=d   </math>.
The negative sign in the expression for <math>  I_R(x)</math> indicates that the current in the reverse wave is traveling in a direction that is opposite to the reference direction, which is the direction of the forward propagating wave.  <math>  Z_c, \gamma, \alpha, \beta, \lambda,</math> and <math>v</math> are secondary parameters which means that they can be expressed in terms of the primary parameters <math>  R, G, L,</math> and <math>C  </math>.

===Regimes===
The propagation constant and the characteristic impedance may be factored as <!---- This is simple factoring ---->
:<math>  Z_c =Z_0 \sqrt{\frac {(1 + r_\omega)} {(1+ g_\omega)}}  </math> .
:<math>  \gamma = j \frac \omega {v_0}  \sqrt{(1 +r_\omega)(1+ g_\omega )}   </math>.
where
:<math>  Z_0 =\sqrt{ \frac L C }  </math> = nominal high frequency impedance.
:<math>  v_0 =\frac 1  \sqrt{ {LC} }  </math> = nominal high frequency phase velocity.
:<math> r_\omega = \frac {R} {j\omega L}</math> = impedance ratio.
:<math> g_\omega = \frac {G} {j\omega C}</math> = admittance ratio.
where
The terms <math>v_0</math> and  <math>Z_0</math> are relatively independent of frequency.  The frequency dependent behavior of <math>\gamma</math> and <math>Z_c</math> can be separated into nine regions according to whether the ratios <math>g_\omega</math> and <math>r_\omega</math> are much less than unity, much greater than unity or about equal to unity.  In practice, four of the combinations do not occur leaving five regions from DC to high frequency.  

[[File:Typical Good Transmission Line Parameter Ratioes.png|thumb|400px|left|Ratio of G/ωC and R/ωL versus frequency for a typical RG-59 coaxial transmission line with a good (high resistivity) dielectric insulator.]]
[[File:Typical Good Transmission Line Velocity.png|thumb|400px|Phase velocity of a typical RG-59 coaxial transmission line with a good (high resistivity) dielectric insulator relative to the speed of light in vacuum.]]

The graph to the left shows the frequency dependent variation of <math>g_\omega</math> and <math>r_\omega</math> of a transmission line with a good dielectric such as high density polyethylene.  Separation of the spectrum into regions has been arbitrarily set at the frequencies at which one of the ratios is either 0.1 or 10.

The five regions may be easily seen in the adjacent graph of velocity versus frequency of a transmission line with a good dielectric such as polyethylene:

From lowest to highest frequency the regions are:
*Near DC (NDC) where <math>\frac {G} {j\omega C} >> 1</math> and <math>\frac {R} {j\omega L} >> 1</math>
*Very low frequency (VLF) where <math>\frac {G} {j\omega C} \approx 1</math> and <math>\frac {R} {j\omega L} >> 1</math>
*Low frequency (LF) where <math>\frac {G} {j\omega C} << 1</math> and <math>\frac {R} {j\omega L} >> 1</math>
*Intermediate frequency (IF) where <math>\frac {G} {j\omega C} << 1</math> and <math>\frac {R} {j\omega L} \approx 1</math>
*High frequency (HF) where <math>\frac {G} {j\omega C} << 1</math> and <math>\frac {R} {j\omega L} << 1</math>

=== High frequency regime ===

The high frequency regime is most associated with transmission line behavior.  It includes [[Ethernet]], most broadcasting, ordinary video, computer buses, the higher portions of the digital telephony spectrum ( [[HDSL]], [[ADSL]], [[VDSL]]).

:<math>  \gamma = j\omega \sqrt{ L C } \sqrt{(1 + \frac {R} {j\omega L})(1+ \frac {G} {j\omega C} )} \approx  j\omega \sqrt{ L C } (1 + \frac {R} {2j\omega L} + \frac {G} {2j\omega C} ) = j\omega \sqrt{ L C } + \frac {R} {2}\sqrt{ \frac C L } + \frac {G} {2}\sqrt{ \frac L C } </math>

The intermediate frequency regime includes the lower portions of the digital telephony spectrum ([[ISDN]], [[HDSL]], [[ADSL]], the upper frequencies of music,

The low frequency regime includes voice telephony, the lower frequencies of music,

The very low frequency regime includes

If <math> G \equiv 0 </math> then there is no near DC regime.  This is the case if the dielectric is vacuum.

The near DC regime expressions approach their DC values as frequency approaches zero, except wavelength which approaches infinity.

:<math>  Z_c = \sqrt{\frac R G} \sqrt{  \frac {(1 + \frac {j\omega L} R)} {(1 + \frac {j\omega C} G)} } \approx  \sqrt{\frac R G}  </math>.

:<math>  \gamma = \sqrt{R G}\sqrt{(1 + \frac {j\omega L} R)(1 + \frac {j\omega C} G)} \approx \sqrt{R G}(1 + \frac {j\omega L} {2R} + \frac {j\omega C} {2G})</math>.

==Ideal transformer has zero Magnetomotive force==

This involves a slight bit of synthesis from Brenner and Javid.  Page 599 gives i<sub>2</sub>/i<sub>1</sub> = 1/n and 1/n = n<sub>1</sub>/n<sub>2</sub> which can be combined by simple arithmetic to give i<sub>1</sub>n<sub>1</sub> = i<sub>2</sub>n<sub>2</sub> or i<sub>1</sub>n<sub>1</sub> - i<sub>2</sub>n<sub>2</sub> = 0. 

Hayt & Kemmerly in ''Engineering Circuit Analysis'', 5'th on page 446 state plainly that i<sub>1</sub>n<sub>1</sub> = i<sub>2</sub>n<sub>2</sub>, but it doesn't seem worth adding a reference for that.

(i<sub>1</sub>n<sub>1</sub> - i<sub>2</sub>n<sub>2</sub>) is the [[magnetomotive force]], using the current reference directions given in the figure in the same section.

==The role of the magnetic vector potential in transformers==

First, an analogy.  I can compute the velocity of my car by computing the time derivative of the number displayed on the odometer.  That doesn’t mean the odometer causes the car’s velocity.  The relationship holds because they are both caused by the same thing, which is the motor.  [[Faraday's law of induction]] (FLI) states that the EMF (path integral of the electric field) in closed loop is proportional to the time derivative of the total flux the enclosed in the loop, including the flux in the core.  This is a very useful relationship for designing transformers and predicting their behavior.  This doesn’t mean that the flux in the core causes the EMF in the secondary, although it is often taught that way.  Most of the time, that is good enough.  But, in fact, if the flux in the core actually caused the EMF in the secondary, that would be [[action at a distance]].  Feynman makes this point in Volume 2 of the Feynman lectures, chap 15 section 5 in the second paragraph following equation 15.36.

Modern physicists have worked very hard to eliminate action at a distance.  The modern formulation is that the currents produce the [[magnetic vector potential]], A, at the wires.  A produces a component of the electric field, E in accordance with E = -∂A/∂t (actually E= -{{math|&nabla;}}φ -∂A/∂t, but I am ignoring φ).  The line integral of -∂A/∂t over a closed path is the EMF.   Faraday’s law of induction (FLI) works because B = {{math|&nabla; &times; }} A; E at the wires has the same cause as B in core.  FLI is useful for engineers because they almost always have the transformer connected to a circuit which provides a complete path.  However, E = -∂A/∂t, gives the E field at each infinitesimal part of the path.  

I am not going to try to put this in the article; it is probably too technical.  I’m going for [[WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS]], but I will try to edit the article so it is not in conflict with the modern formulation.  For example, instead of “EMF is caused by the changing flux in the core” I may write “EMF is equal the rate of change of the flux in the core.”   The first version is simpler and more direct, but it is a fiction whereas the second version is a correct statement.

Your comments are invited.

==AWG Formulae==
By definition, the diameter of #.&nbsp;36&nbsp;AWG is 0.005&nbsp;inches, and #&nbsp;0000 is 0.46&nbsp;inches. The ratio of these diameters is 1:92, and there are 40 gauge sizes from #.&nbsp;36 to #&nbsp;0000, or 39 steps. The diameter of a #&nbsp;''n''&nbsp;AWG wire is determined, for gauges smaller than #&nbsp;00 (36 to 0), according to the following formula:

:<math>d_n = 0.005~\mathrm{inch} \times 92^\frac{36 - n}{39} = 0.127~\mathrm{mm} \times 92^\frac{36 - n}{39}</math>


The gauge can be calculated from the diameter using&nbsp;
:<math>n = -39\log_{92} \left( \frac{d_n}{0.005~\mathrm{inch}} \right) + 36 </math>

:<math>n = \frac {-39} {\log_{10} 92}   \log_{10} \left( \frac{d_n}{0.005~\mathrm{inch}} \right) + 36 </math>

:<math>n = \frac {-39} {\log_{e} 92}   \log_{e} \left( \frac{d_n}{0.005~\mathrm{inch}} \right) + 36 </math>

==Tansformer talk==

In the ideal transformer section it notes that the ideal transformer is lossless, therefore power out = power in.  If output volts go down then output current must go up.  That’s a conclusion and not an explanation.  Unfortunately, the reliable sources tend to write a bunch of equations and conclude that current transforms inversely with the turns ratio.  Again it is a conclusion and not an explanation.  I have an explanation, but without any reliable sources, it would be [[WP:OP]].  I’ll outline it here, hoping that maybe someone else can find a reliable source or determine that it is supportable by the sources already in the article.  The gist is this, take a transformer with turns N<sub>P</sub> and N<sub>S</sub> and a load on the secondary and try to force a current I<sub>P</sub> into the primary.  If the quantity  N<sub>P</sub> × I<sub>P</sub> – N<sub>S</sub> × I<sub>S</sub> ≠ 0, then you are forcing flux into the nominally infinite (or very large) self-inductance.  It responds with an infinite (or very large) voltage seen on both the primary and the secondary.  But there is a load on the secondary that would draw an infinite (or very large) current, so you can’t really get an infinite voltage.  In fact, the secondary voltage that you can get is just enough to satisfy N<sub>P</sub> × I<sub>P</sub> – N<sub>S</sub> × I<sub>S</sub> = 0.  The transformer, in effect, generates the voltage required to get the secondary current that will satisfy N<sub>P</sub> × I<sub>P</sub> – N<sub>S</sub> × I<sub>S</sub> = 0.  A transformer with an infinite self-inductance is, so to speak, intolerant of N<sub>P</sub> × I<sub>P</sub> – N<sub>S</sub> × I<sub>S</sub> ≠ 0.  You can sort of make a [[Lenz's law]] argument that any deviation from N<sub>P</sub> × I<sub>P</sub> – N<sub>S</sub> × I<sub>S</sub> = 0 would create huge reaction that would oppose the deviation.

:Sounds about right. I might have done it in terms of Ampere-Turns, as are commonly used in magnet design problems. [[User:Gah4|Gah4]] ([[User talk:Gah4|talk]]) 06:19, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

==Velocity of electromagnetic waves==

The speed of electromagnetic waves in a low-loss dielectric is given by

: <math>\quad v =   \frac {1} \sqrt{\epsilon \mu}  =\frac {c} \sqrt{\epsilon_r \mu_r} </math> .<ref name="Hayt_5">{{Citation |last=Hayt |first= William H. |year= 1989 |title= Engineering Electromagnetics |edition= 5th |publisher= McGraw-Hill |isbn= 0070274061 }}</ref>{{rp|346}}


where
: <math>\quad  c </math>  = speed of light in vacuum.

: <math>\quad  \mu_0 </math> = the [[permeability of free space]] = 4π x 10<sup>−7</sup> H/m.
: <math>\quad  \mu_r </math> = relative [[magnetic permeability]] of the material.  Usually in good dielectrics, <math> \mu_r = 1</math>.
: <math>\quad  \mu </math> = <math> \mu_r </math> <math> \mu_0 </math>.

: <math>\quad  \epsilon_0 </math> = the [[permeability of free space]].
: <math>\quad  \epsilon_r </math> = relative [[magnetic permeability]] of the material.  Usually in good conductors, <math> \epsilon_r = 1</math>.
: <math>\quad  \epsilon </math> = <math> \mu_r </math> <math> \mu_0 </math>.

The speed of electromagnetic waves in a good conductor is given by

: <math>\quad v =  \sqrt{  \frac {2 \omega} {\sigma \mu}} = \sqrt{  \frac {4 \pi} {\sigma_c \mu_0 }} \sqrt{  \frac { f } {\sigma_r \mu_r }} \approx \left ( 0.41 \frac \mathsf{m} \mathsf{s} \right ) \sqrt{  \frac { f } {\sigma_r \mu_r }} </math>.<ref name="Hayt_5"/>{{rp|360}}

where 
: <math>\quad  f </math> = [[frequency]].
: <math>\quad  \omega </math> = [[angular frequency]] = 2πf.
: <math>\quad  \sigma_c </math>  = [[conductivity]] of annealed copper = 5.96 x 10<sup>7</sup> S/m.
: <math>\quad  \sigma_r </math>  = conductivity of the material relative to the conductivity of copper.  For hard drawn copper <math> \sigma_r </math> may be as low as 0.97.
: <math>\quad  \sigma </math>  = <math> \sigma_r \sigma_c  </math>.


In copper at 60 Hz, <math> v  \approx 3.2 m/s</math>.  Some sprinters can run twice as fast.  As a consequence of [[Snell's Law]] and the extremely low speed, electromagnetic waves always enter good conductors in a direction that is normal to the surface, regardless of the angle of incidence.  This velocity is then the speed with which electromagnetic waves penetrate into the conductor and is not the [[Drift velocity]] of the conduction electrons.

===Velocity in metal===

I have seven reliable sources of which two use plain language and the others simple formulas to state that the speed of an electromagnetic wave propagating in a good conductor is very much slower than the speed of light.

==Magnetic current==

'''Magnetic current''' is, nominally, a fictitious current composed of fictitious moving magnetic mono-poles.  It has the dimensions of volts.  Magnetic currents produce an electric field analogously to the production of a magnetic field by electric currents.  ''Magnetic current density'' is usually represented by the symbol '''M''', which has the units of v/m² (volts per square meter).  A given distibution of electric change can be mathematically replaced by an equivalent distribution of magnetic current.  This fact can be used to simplify some electromagnetic field problems.
{{efn| "For some electromagnetic problems, their solution can often be aided by the introduction of equivalent impressed electric and magnetic current densities."

[[File:Magnetic Current Produces Electric Field By Left Hand Rule.svg|thumb|Magnetic current (flowing magnetic mono-poles), M, creates an electric field, E, in accordance with the left-hand rule.]]

The direction of the electric field produced by magnetic currents is determined by the left-hand rule (opposite to the right-hand rule) as evidenced by the negative sign in the equation  curl '''''E''''' = -'''''M'''''.

<math> H' = H - v  \times D   </math>

As late as 1963, Purcell offered the following low velocity transformations as suitable for calculating the electric field experienced by a jet plane tranvelling in the Earth's magnetic field.  

:<math> E' = E + v  \times B   </math>.

:<math> B' = B - \epsilon_0  \mu_0  v  \times E   </math>. {{efn| Note: Purcell uses electrostatic units so the constants are different.  This is the MKS version. <ref name="Purcell">{{Citation |last=Purcell |first= Edward M. |year= 1963 |title= Electricity and magnetism |edition= 1st |publisher= McGraw-Hill |  LCCN=64-66016}}</ref>}}{{rp|222}}  

In 1973 Bellac and Levy-Leblond state that these equations are incorrect or misleading because they do not correspond to any consistent Galilean limit.  Rousseaux gives a simple example showing that a transformation from an initial inertial frame to a second frame with a speed of v<sub>0</sub> with respect to the first frame and then to a third frame moving with a speed v<sub>1</sub> with respect to the second frame would give a result different from going directly from the first frame to the third frame using a relative speed of (v<sub>0</sub> + v<sub>1</sub>).  

Bellac and Levy-Leblond offer two transformations that do have consistent Galilean limits as follows:

The electric limit applies when electric field effects are dominant such as when Faraday's law of induction was insignificant. 

:<math> E' = E  </math>.

:<math> B' = B - \epsilon_0  \mu_0  v  \times E </math>.

The magnetic limit applies when the magnetic field effects are dominant.

:<math> E' = E + v  \times B   </math>.

:<math> B' = B </math>.


Statement by Germain Rousseaux: "For the experiments of electrodynamics of moving bodies with low speeds, the Galilean theory is the most adapted because it is easier of stake in work from the calculus point of view and does not bring in the kinematics effect of Special Relativity which are absolutely unimportant in the Galilean limit.<ref name="Rousseau">{{cite journal

==Volt, voltage, EMF and Potential ==

:My 2 cents worth. 
:*Volt is about the unit of measurement and should be a separate article.  

:Everything else is tied together by the equation E = -∇(φ) -σA/σt, where φ is the electrodynamic retarded electric scalar potential and A is the retarded magnetic vector potential.

:*Voltage is, to me, a circuit quantity.  It’s what a voltmeter would read between two points in a circuit. If the leads to the voltmeter went through a region where σA/σt ≠ 0, then the voltmeter reading would depend on the path of the leads to the voltmeter and the voltage would be ill defined.  

:*Electromotive force, I usually associate with a path integral of the electric field (as defined above) tangential to a definite path.  Usually the path follows a conductor.  Typical paths may include a battery, generator, transformer, loop antenna, microphone, transducer.  EMF for a specific path is unique.  The path may be implicit.  In a particular usage, there may be no mention of the path integral, but it is there never-the-less. If the beginning point and ending point of the path integral were in a continuous region where σA/σt = 0 then the voltage measured between those points by a voltmeter connected to those points and entirely in the region would read a unique value and EMF would numerically be the same as the voltage.

:* Potential has more than one meaning.  The article will have to deal with that.  For me, potential is a field quantity, although potential is used as a synonym for voltage in both DC and AC circuits.

::- The electrodynamic retarded scalar electric potential, which is used above in the equation for E.  It is well defined everywhere except for points occupied by point charges.  The difference in potential between two points is also well defined but may be physically meaningless.  In general, the potential difference between two points is not the voltage between those two points.

::- The electrostatic potential that applies to electrostatics and DC circuits or any situation where σA/σt = 0.  In this case, the difference in potential between two points is the same as the voltage between those two points and EMF evaluated along any path is also equal to the same voltage.<ref name="Bedell">{{Citation|last1=Bedell|first1=Frederick|title=History of A-C Wave Form, Its Determination and Standardization|journal=Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers|volume=61|issue=12|page=864|doi=10.1109/T-AIEE.1942.5058456}}</ref> <ref name="Hayt (1989)">"The magnetic flux is that flux which passes through any and every surface whose perimeter is the closed path" {{cite book| last = Hayt| first = William| title = Engineering Electromagnetics | edition = 5th| page = 312| isbn = 0-07-027406-1| publisher = McGraw-Hill| date = 1989}}</ref> <ref name="Jordan & Balmain (1968)">{{citation|"Faraday's Law, which states that the electromotive force around a closed path is equal to the negative of the time rate of change of magnetic flux enclosed by the path"{{cite book|last=Jordan|first= Edward |last2=Balmain|first2=Keith G.| title = Electromagnetic Waves and Radiating Systems | edition = 2nd| page = 100|  | publisher = Prentice-Hall| date = 1968}}</ref> <ref>"All the concepts of Chap. 5 translate verbatim to the transmission line case.", Sophocles J.

:If you use a definition of circuit like ''a roughly circular line, route, or movement that starts and finishes at the same place.'' That is, a mathematical definition, then path and circuit are similar. But in EE, circuit has a different definition. [[User:Gah4|Gah4]] ([[User talk:Gah4|talk]]) 06:28, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

==Quantities and units==
_________________________________________________________

{{see also|List of physical quantities|List of electromagnetism equations}}
'''Electromagnetic units''' are part of a system of electrical units based primarily upon the magnetic properties of electric currents, the fundamental SI unit being the ampere. The units are:
<div style="-moz-column-count:2; column-count:2;">
*[[ampere]] (electric current)
*[[coulomb]] (electric charge)
*[[farad]] (capacitance)
*[[henry (unit)|henry]] (inductance)
*[[ohm]] (resistance)
*[[tesla (unit)|tesla]] (magnetic flux density)
*[[volt]] (electric potential)
*[[watt]] (power)
*[[weber (unit)|weber]] (magnetic flux)
</div>
In the electromagnetic [[Centimetre gram second system of units|cgs]] system, electric current is a fundamental quantity defined via [[Ampère's law]] and takes the [[Permeability (electromagnetism)|permeability]] as a dimensionless quantity (relative permeability) whose value in a vacuum is unity. As a consequence, the square of the speed of light appears explicitly in some of the equations interrelating quantities in this system.

==The interpretation of phase for mathematics vs. engineering==
See<ref>{{cite web | title = Sign Conventions in Electromagnetic (EM) Waves | url = https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-007-electromagnetic-energy-from-motors-to-lasers-spring-2011/readings/MIT6_007S11_sign.pdf}}</ref><ref group="remark">The function <math>f(x) = \cos(2 \pi \xi_0 x) \equiv \cos(-2 \pi \xi_0 x)</math> is also a signal with frequency <math>\xi_0</math>, but the integral obviously produces identical responses at both <math>\xi_0</math> and <math>-\xi_0</math>, which is also consistent with [[Euler's formula]]:  <math>\cos(2 \pi \xi_0 x) \equiv \tfrac{1}{2} e^{i 2 \pi \xi_0 x} + \tfrac{1}{2} e^{-i 2 \pi \xi_0 x}.</math></ref>.

Consider the functions:
::<math>u(t) = 0.5 \cos( 2 \pi f t ) + 0.866 \sin( 2 \pi f t ) \,</math>

::<math>v(t) = 0.866 \cos( 2 \pi f t ) + 0.5 \sin( 2 \pi f t ) \,</math>


::In mathematics, <math>cos( 2 \pi f t )\,</math> and <math>sin( 2 \pi f t )\,</math> are considered to be basis vectors of a two dimensional vector space.  The function <math> v(t) \,</math> would be represented by a point with coordinates (0.866, 0.5).  The line connecting the origin to this point makes a positive angle of 30 degrees with respect to the origin.  Therefore in mathematics, the phase of <math> v(t) \,</math> would be 30 degrees.  Likewise, <math> u(t) \,</math> would be represented by (.5,0.866) and its phase would be 60 degrees.  The phase difference between <math> u(t) \,</math> and <math> v(t) \,</math> would be 30 degrees.


In engineering, a sinusoid has a negative phase shift with respect to some other sinusoid, if the peaks of the first sinusoid occurs after the peaks of the second sinusoid.
Using a trig identity, <math> u(t) \,</math> and <math> v(t) \,</math> can be written as: 
::<math>u(t) = cos( 2 \pi f t - \pi/3 ) \,</math>  note: <math>\pi /3 =  \,</math> 60 degrees.
::<math>v(t) = cos( 2 \pi f t - \pi/6 ) \,</math>  note: <math>\pi /6 =  \,</math> 30 degrees.


::The peaks of <math> v(t) \,</math> and <math> u(t) \,</math> occur after the peak of <math> cos( 2 \pi f t ) \,</math> by 30 and 60 degrees respectively.  Therefore in engineering, the phase of <math> v(t) \,</math> and <math> u(t) \,</math> would be -30 degrees and -60 degrees respectively.  The phase difference of <math> u(t) \,</math> with respect to <math> v(t) \,</math> would be -30 degrees meaning that the peaks of <math> u(t) \,</math> occur after the peaks of <math> v(t) \,</math> by 30 degrees .

In most cases, consistantly using the changing the sign of the phase only changes the sign of the imaginary part of the computation.  In othere words, the result of using one convention or the other produces results that are conjugates of each other.

One place this shows up is in the definition of the Fourier transform.

=== Plane wave convention ===

I've looked in 11 references and found two ways to write down the equation for a plane wave. 

(In all cases I have changed i to j for consistancy.)

The following group use a form for the plane wave that involves <math> - \omega t \, </math> such as <math> e^{j(\mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{x} - \omega t) } \, </math> or <math> \cos(kx-\omega t)  </math>.

I think this list is enough to establish that there is a group that uses <math> \omega t \, </math> and a group that uses <math> - \omega t \, </math>

The first group are physicist.  The second group, except for Crawford, are engineers.  Kraus is an engineer but says he can use either convention.

So what is the difference? Not much, because at the end of the computation you discard the imaginary part and keep the real part.  You wind up with terms of either <math> \cos(\omega t  - \mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{x})\, </math> or <math> \cos(\mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{x} - \omega t)\, </math> which are equal.

===Leading and lagging===
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

:The terms leading and lagging are used by engineers to describe the phase difference of one sinusoid to another.   If the peaks of one sinusoid occur after the peaks of a second sinusoid, then the first sinusoid is said to lag the second sinusoid. If the peaks of the first sinusoid occur before peaks of the second sinusoid, then the first sinusoid is said to lead the second sinusoid.

::For example, sin(t) lags cos(t) by 90 degrees and cos(t) leads sin(t) by 90 degrees.  Although sin(t) could be said to lead cos(t) by 270 degrees it is conventional to choose leading or lagging so that the angle is less than or equal to 180 degrees.

:In electric power distribution, leading and lagging power factor always refers to current relative to voltage.  Thus a leading power factor means the current is leading the voltage.

== Calculation of potentials from source distributions ==

Feynman<ref name="Feynman1515">{{Harvtxt|Feynman|1964|p=15_15}}</ref> and Jackson<ref name="Jackson246"> {{Harvtxt|Jackson|1999|p=246}}</ref> give the following integral equations for calculating the electric scalar potential, <math> \phi \, </math> and the magnetic vector potential, <math> \mathbf{A}\, </math>  at point <math>p_1\,</math> and time <math>t\,</math> from the current density distribution and charge density distribution.  <math> \mathbf{A}\, </math> is a 3 dimensional vector.  The notation differs slightly from both sources.

<math> \mathbf{A}(p_1,t)= {\mu_0 \over 4 \pi} \int_{V_2}{ \mathbf{j} (p_2,t')\over r_{12}} dV \, </math> 



<math> \phi (p_1,t)= {1 \over 4 \pi \epsilon_0 } \int_{V_2}{ \rho (p_2,t')\over r_{12}} dV \, </math> 

:: where 
::: <math>p_1\,</math> is the point at which the value of <math> \mathbf{A}\,</math> and  <math> \phi \,</math> are to be calculated.
::: <math>t\,</math> is the time at which the value of <math> \mathbf{A}\,</math> and  <math> \phi\,</math> are to be calculated.
::: <math>p_2\,</math> is a point at which the value of <math> \mathbf{j}\,</math> or  <math> \rho \,</math> or both are non-zero.
::: <math> t' = t - { r_{12} \over c } \,  </math> is a time earlier than <math>t\,</math> by <math>{ r_{12} \over c }\,</math> which is the time it takes an effect generated at <math>p_2\,</math> to propagate to <math>p_1\,</math> at the speed of light.  <math> t'\,  </math> is also called ''retarded time''.
::: <math> \mathbf{A}(p_1,t)\,</math> is the magnetic vector potential at point <math>p_1\,</math> and time <math>t \,</math>.
::: <math> \phi(p_1,t)\,</math> is the electric scalar potential at point <math>p_1\,</math> and time <math>t\,</math>.
::: <math> \mathbf{j}(p_2,t') \, </math> is the current density at point <math>p_2\,</math> and time <math>t'\,</math> 
::: <math> \rho(p_2,t') \, </math> is the charge density at point <math>p_2\,</math> and time <math>t'\,</math> 
:::<math> r_{12}\, </math> is the distance from point <math>p_1\,</math>  to point <math>p_2\,</math> 
:::<math>V_2\,</math> is the volume of all points <math>p_2\,</math> where <math> \mathbf{j}\, </math> or <math> \rho \, </math>   is non-zero at least sometimes.




:   <math> \mathbf{A}\, </math> and <math> \phi \, </math> calculated in this way will satisfy with the condition: <math>  \nabla \cdot  \mathbf{A} + { c^2 \partial \phi \over \partial t }  = 0 \,  </math>

There are a few notable things about equation for <math> \mathbf{A}\, </math>.  First, the position of the source point <math>p_2\,</math> only enters the equation as a scalar distance from <math>p_1\,</math> to <math>p_2\,</math>.  The direction from <math>p_1\,</math> to <math>p_2\,</math> does not enter into the equation.  The only thing that matters about a source point is how far away it is.  Second, the integrand uses ''retarded time''.  This simply reflects the fact that changes in the sources propagate at the speed of light.  And third, the equation is a vector equation.  In Cartesian coordinates, the equation separates into three equations thus<ref name="KrausE">{{Harvtxt|Kraus|1984|p=189}}</ref>:

 
<math> \mathbf{A_x}(p_1,t)= {\mu_0 \over 4 \pi} \int_{V_2}{ \mathbf{j_x} (p_2,t')\over r_{12}} dV \, </math> where  <math> \mathbf{A_x}\, </math> and <math> \mathbf{j_x}\, </math> are the components of <math> \mathbf{A}\, </math> and <math> \mathbf{j}\, </math> in the direction of the x axis.
 
<math> \mathbf{A_y}(p_1,t)= {\mu_0 \over 4 \pi} \int_{V_2}{ \mathbf{j_y} (p_2,t')\over r_{12}} dV \, </math>
 
<math> \mathbf{A_z}(p_1,t)= {\mu_0 \over 4 \pi} \int_{V_2}{ \mathbf{j_z} (p_2,t')\over r_{12}} dV \, </math>

In this form it is easy to see that the component of <math> \mathbf{A}\, </math> in a given direction depends only on the components of <math> \mathbf{j}\, </math> that are in the same direction.  If the current is carried in a long straight wire, the <math> \mathbf{A}\, </math> points in the same direction as the wire.

=== Calculation of electric and magnetic fields from the potentials===

'''7.''' <math> \mathbf{B}=  \nabla \times \mathbf{A} \,  </math> <ref name="Feynman1515"> </ref> <ref name="Jackson239">  {{Harvtxt|Jackson|1999|p=239}}</ref>

When magnetic effects are dominent, equation 8 can be simplified to: 


'''9.''' <math> \mathbf{E}=  - {  \partial \mathbf{A}   \over \partial t }   \,  </math>

Consider two long straight zero (or very low) resistance wires extending along the x axis.  One carries a sinusoidally varying current that produces a magnetic vector potential that is directed in the same direction (along the x axis).  The electric field in the second wire has the opposite direction to the magnetic vector potential.  So the current in one long wire tends to produce a current of in the opposite direction in a parallel wire.


==Interesting Comments==

=== Terman ===
Terman<ref name="Terman112">  {{Harvtxt|Terman|1943|p=112}}</ref> "The power factor ... tends to be independent of frequency, since the fraction of energy lost during each cycle ... is substantially independent of the number of cycles per second, over wide frequency ranges."

Terman is using older terminology.  Power factor in a capacitor is the same as dissipation factor.  The comment also applies to the loss tangent of a dielectric.

Time-Harmonic Electromagnetic Fields, McGraw-Hill, 1961, Reprinted 1987

Page 63, "From the field theory point of view, this is equivalent to assuming that no EZ or HZ exists. Such a wave is called transverse electromagnetic, abbreviated TEM. This is not the only wave possible on a transmission line, for Maxwell's equations show that infinitely many wave types can exist. Each possible wave is called a mode, and a TEM wave is called a transmission line mode. All other waves, which must have an EZ or an HZ or both, are called higher-order modes. The higher-order modes are usually important only in the vicinity of a feed point, or in the vicinity of a discontinuity on the line."

The currents established at the conductor surface propagate into the conductor in a direction perpendicular to the current density, and they are attenuated by ohmic losses. This power loss is the price exacted by the conductor for acting as a guide."

There is a flow of energy into the wire all around. It is, of course, equal to the energy being lost in the wire in the form of heat. So our crazy theory says that the electrons are getting their energy to generate heat because of the energy flowing into the wire from the field outside. Intuition would seem to tell us that the electrons get their energy from being pushed along the wire, so the energy should be flowing down (or up) along the wire. But the theory says that the electrons are really being pushed by an electric field, which has come from some charges very far away, and that the electrons get their energy for generating heat from these fields. The energy somehow flows from the distant charges into a wide area of space and then inward to the wire.

Standard Handbook for Electrical Engineers, 11th Edition, Fink, Donald G. editor, McGraw-Hill

Chapter 2, Section 40, 

Page 2-13, "The energies stored in the fields travel with them, and this phenomenon is the basic and sole mechanism whereby electric power transmission takes place. Thus the electrical energy transmitted by means of transmission lines flows through the space surrounding the conductors, the latter (conductors) acting merely as guides.

"The usually accepted view that the conductor current produces the magnetic field surrounding it must be displaced by the more appropriate one that the electromagnetic field surrounding the conductor produces, through a small drain on its energy supply, the current in the conductor. Although the value of the latter (current) may be used in computing the transmitted energy, one should clearly recognize that physically this current produces only a loss and in no way has a direct part in the phenomenon of power transmission."

Ether and the Theory of Relativity, address on May 05, 1920 at University of Leyden 
p6
"More careful reflection teaches us, however, that the special theory of relativity does not compel us to deny ether. We may assume the existence of an ether; only we must give up ascribing a definite state of motion to it, ... 

According to the general theory of relativity space without ether is unthinkable; for in such space there not only would be no propagation of light"
