I learnt displacement current inside a condenser it was = eo* d(phi E)/ dt no EM radiation inside the condenser to made that current possible, in any case EM radiation in physical condenser will come out from condenser to the rest of the universe :). It depends on your definition of "radiation". In an ideal transmission line, energy is not lost to radiation but photons (EM fields and waves) necessarily exist all up and down the line. In an ideal coaxial transmission line, the photons (EM fields and waves) are confined to the dielectric. Electrons cannot travel at the speed of light. EM waves travel at the speed of light. Therefore EM waves are photons. Given the physical nature of a capacitor, refraction would be the primary mechanism for losing energy to radiation and there's probably very, very little refraction in the capacitor dielectric. If electrons are being acelerated and decelerated in the capacitor, photons will be emitted. It seems obvious now that when electrons are decelerated on one capacitor plate, photons are emitted that propogate across the capacitor dielectric and are absorbed by electrons on the opposite plate. When the concept of displacement current was invented, nobody knew that RF fields were actually made up of particles (photons) but now we do know. Displacement current seems only to be EM radiation from one capacitor plate to the other. As it was taught to me (I am not physicist), quantum nature of a 80 m wavelenght energy it is useless for calculations and invisible to our instrument resolution because its immensely large quantic number. Is it wrong? The quantized nature of a single RF photon is no longer open to argument and the energy in that single photon can be calculated, (h*f), where h is Planck's constant, 6.626 x 10^-34 J*s. Whether there are any instruments sensitive enough to detect a single 80m photon is a moot point that does not change the nature of RF fields and waves. What is important is that it is impossible to radiate a signal level less than (h*f). If anyone asserts that RF fields and waves can violate the laws of physics regarding photons, that person is wrong and delusional. (Light left over from the time when the universe became transparent is today red-shifted down to RF microwave frequencies and called background radiation.) -- 73, Cecil, w5dxp.com |
