Maxwell's equations in materials

Ampère's law for magnets

It follows from Ampère's circuital law that the auxiliary 𝐇-field satisfies

×𝐇=𝐉𝑓+𝜕𝐃𝜕𝑡

where 𝐉𝑓 =𝐉 𝐉𝑏 𝜕𝐏𝜕𝑡 is the free current density.

Derivation

Noting the expression for bound current density

×𝐇=1𝜇0×𝐁×𝐌=𝐉+𝜖0𝜕𝐄𝜕𝑡𝐉𝑏=𝐉𝑓+𝜕𝐏𝜕𝑡+𝜖0𝜕𝐄𝜕𝑡=𝐉𝑓+𝜕𝐃𝜕𝑡

where we used the fact that changing electric polarization density is a source of current

𝐉=𝐉𝑓+𝐉𝑏+𝜕𝐏𝜕𝑡

as required.

or equivalently by Stokes's theorem

𝜕Σ𝐇𝑑𝐫=(Σ𝐉𝑓𝑑𝐚+𝑑𝑑𝑡Σ𝐃𝑑𝐚)=𝜇0(𝐼𝑓,Σ+𝜕Φ𝐷,Σ𝜕𝑡)
