As the frequency of the circuit is either raised
above or lowered below the resonant
frequency, the impedance of the circuit:

Resonance in Radios
An AC circuit with R= 2 W, L = 0.30 mH and
variable capacitance is connected to an antenna to
receive radio signals at the resonance frequency.
If you want to listen to music broadcasted at
96.1 MHz, what value of C should be used?

ACT: Radios
Your radio is tuned to FM 96.1 MHz and want
to change it to FM 105.9 MHz, which of
the following will work.
1. Increase Capacitance
2. Decrease Capacitance
3. Neither, you need to change R

James Clerk Maxwell
(1831-1879)
4 laws unify electric & magnetic forces:
1. E-field generated by electric charge
(Gauss’ Law – Lecture 2)
2. No magnetic charges
(Lecture 8)
3. E-field generated by changing magnetic flux
(Faraday’s Law – Lecture 10)
4. B-field generated by moving electric charge
& changing electric flux!
(Ampere’s Law – Lecture 9)

Oscillating E field
Electric dipole antenna creates an oscillating electric field
In which direction does the E-field point at this time? ... and now?
NOT QUITE! E-fields do NOT appear everywhere in
space instantaneously, they travel at a finite speed c

Only relative velocity matters:
u = v1 + v2
moving in opposite directions
u = v1 – v2
moving in same direction
