11.20 An Electric Vector Potential. A vector potential may be derived as ∇ F ¼ –D where D is the electric flux
density:
(a) What must be the static magnetic field intensity (other than H ¼ 0 or H ¼ C, where C is a constant vector) if we
know that in the static case, ∇ H ¼ 0?
(b) Find a representation of Maxwell’s equations in terms of the vector potential F in a current-free region
(i.e., a region without source currents).
(c) What might the divergence of F be for the representation in (b) to be useful? Explain.
11.21 Modified Magnetic Vector Potential. A modified vector potential may be defined as F ¼ A + ∇ψ, where A is the
magnetic vector potential as defined in Eq. (11.40) and ψ is any scalar function:
(a) Show that this is a correct definition of the vector potential.
(b) Find an expression of Maxwell’s equations in terms of F alone.
(c) How would you name the two potentials F and ψ?

11.22 Displacement Current Density in a Dielectric. A time-dependent electric field intensity is applied on a dielectric as
shown in Figure 11.7. The electric field intensity in free space is given as E ¼ ^zE0cosωt ½V=m. The relative
permittivity of the material is εr ¼ 25. For E0 ¼ 100 V/m and ω ¼ 109 rad/s, calculate the peak displacement current
density in the dielectric (there are no surface charges at the interface between air and material
