Assumes prior knowledge

Ow my brain. This article assumes prior knowledge, can it be dumbed down just a little bit? Like starting with telling us what a medium isContributions/192.198.151.36 (talk) 14:39, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

EMT?

"Indeed, among the numerous effective medium approximations (EMA or EMT)" It's not explained what EMT is, I'm guessing it means effective medium theories but it should be make clear in the article. Please correct this if you can confirm that this is correct. Matthew Rollings (talk) 12:16, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest a reference (a book): Ari Sihvola, Electromagnetic mixing formulas and applications, Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE), London, 1999. 130.233.36.167 (talk) 06:13, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of figure in derivation part

This article refer to a figure in ref. (4), which is not shown here. It would be good if anyone, who has access to ref. (4), puts that figure here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fxyang (talk • contribs) 07:07, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Equation (3)

It seems that equation (3) is not the same as the equation (7) in ref. [4]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Panzichao (talk • contribs) 04:30, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to above: Bruggeman's model and Maxwell Garnett theory make different assumptions to how average field is calculated. There is no reason for eq. (3) and eq. (7) to be the same. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fxyang (talk • contribs) 07:14, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

I think the page Effective permittivity and permeability should be merged to Effective medium approximations; Maxwell Garnett's and Bruggeman's formulae are already covered extensively on the parent article and that content can be expanded with relevant information from here if necessary. The only major difference appears to be the content relating to size effect/effective permeability in that article, which appears to be a possible case of WP:SELFCITE.

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 14:45, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
