A thick spherical shell (inner radius a, outer radius b) is made of dielectric material with a "frozen-in" polarization

P(r)=krr^

Where a constant and is the distance from the center (Fig. 4.18). (There is no free charge in the problem.) Find the electric field in all three regions by two different methods:

Figure 4.18

(a) Locate all the bound charge, and use Gauss's law (Eq. 2.13) to calculate the field it produces.

(b) Use Eq. 4.23 to find D, and then getE from Eq. 4.21. [Notice that the second method is much faster, and it avoids any explicit reference to the bound charges.]

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The value of electrical field produces in all the bound charge is E→=−kγε0r^.

(b)

The value ofD is 0.

The value of electrical field produces there no free charge anywhere isE→=−kε0γr^ .

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

Consider a thick spherical shell (inner radius a, outer radius b) is made of dielectric material

02

Determine the formula of electrical field produces in all the bound charge and electrical field produces there no free charge anywhere.

Write the formula ofelectrical field produces in all the bound charge.

E→=Qinc4πr2ε0 …… (1)

Here,Qinc is charge inside of the sphere,r is radius of the sphere andε0 is relative pemitivity.

Write the formula ofelectrical field produces there no free charge anywhere.

D→=ε0E→+P→ …… (2)

Here,ε0 is relative pemitivity,E is electric field andP→ is polarization.

03

(a) Determine the value of electrical field produces in all the bound charge

The bound surface and volume charge are

σb=P→⋅n^=−k/a ,r=ak/b ,r=b

ÒÏb=−∇⋅P→=−1r2∂∂r(kr)=−kr2

Inside of the sphere Qinc=0so the electric field is obviously zero. Now, in the middle region.

role="math" localid="1657547262465" Qinc=σa4Ï€a2+4π∫arÒÏbr2dr=−4Ï€ka−4π∫arkdr=−4Ï€kr

Determine the electric fieldproduces in all the bound charge.

Substitute 4Ï€krfor Qincinto equation (1).

E→=−4πkr4πr2ε0=−krε0r^

Therefore, the value of electrical field produces in all the bound charge is E→=−kγε0r^.

04

(b) Determine the value of electrical field produces there no free charge anywhere.

Determine the value of D.

∮SD→⋅dS→=Qf,inc=0D→=0

Since there is no free charge anywhere.

Now, determine the electrical field produces there no free charge anywhere.

Substitute0 forD→ into equation (2).

0=ε0E→+P→E→=−P→ε0

This shows that the electric field is zero between outside and inside ( r>band r<a, respectively) and between:

E→=−kε0rr^

Therefore, the value of electrical field produces there no free charge anywhere isE→=−kε0γr^ .

Calculate W,using both Eq. 4.55 and Eq. 4.58, for a sphere of radius

Rwith frozen-in uniform polarization P→ (Ex. 4.2). Comment on the discrepancy.

Which (if either) is the "true" energy of the system?

Suppose the field inside a large piece of dielectric is E0, so that the electric displacement is D0=ε0E0+P.

(a) Now a small spherical cavity (Fig. 4.19a) is hollowed out of the material. Find the field at the center of the cavity in terms of E0and P. Also find the displacement at the center of the cavity in terms of D0and P. Assume the polarization is "frozen in," so it doesn't change when the cavity is excavated. (b) Do the same for a long needle-shaped cavity running parallel to P (Fig. 4.19b).

(c) Do the same for a thin wafer-shaped cavity perpendicular to P (Fig. 4.19c). Assume the cavities are small enough that P,E0, and D0are essentially uniform. [Hint: Carving out a cavity is the same as superimposing an object of the same shape but opposite polarization.]
