Fundamentals of Applied Electromagnetics te i - pe Xe ci y i ol» es oa 7) a FAWWAZ T. ULABY describing his or her understanding of what role electromagnetics plays in science, technology, and society. The following statement, submitted by Mr. Schaldenbrand, who has since graduated with a BS.E. degree, was selected for inclusion here: Electromagnetics has done more than just help science. Since we have such advanced communications, our understanding of orher nations and nation- atites has increased exponentially. This understanding has led and will lead the governments of the world 10 work towards global peace. The more knowledge we have about different cultures, the less foreign these cultures will seem. A global kinship wil result, and the by-product will be harmony. Understanding is the first step, and communication is the means. Electromagnetics holds the key 10 this communication, and therefore is an important subject for not only science, but also the sake of humanity Mike Schaldenbrand EECS 332, Winter 1994 ‘The University of Michigan FUNDAMENTALS OF APPLIED ELECTROMAGNETICS Fawwaz T.

Such a polarized atom is called an eicctrie dipole, and the distortion process is called polarization. The degree of polarization deers on the distance between the atom and the isolated point chargo, and the orientation ‘of the dipole ix such that the dipole axis connecting its two poles is directed toward the poiat charge, a iMlusiried schematically in Fig. 1-6. The net result of this polarization process is that the electric dipoles of ‘the atoms (or moleeales) tend fo counteract the field sduc tothe point charge.
