Question

Regions 1 and 2 have permittivities $epsilon_1 = 2epsilon_0$ and $epsilon_2 = 5epsilon_0$. The regions are separated by a plane whose equation is $x + 2y + z = 1$ such that $x + 2y + z > 1$ is region 1. If $mathbf{E}_1 = 20hat{x} - 10hat{y} + 40hat{z}$ V/m, find a. the normal and the tangential components of $mathbf{E}_1$, b. $mathbf{E}_2$.

Step 1

The plane equation is $x + 2y + z = 1$. The normal vector $\mathbf{n}$ to this plane is given by the coefficients of $x$, $y$, and $z$, which is $\mathbf{n} = \langle 1, 2, 1 \rangle$. Show more…
