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^ .

At the interface between one linear dielectric and another, the electric field lines bend (see Fig. 4.34). Show that

³Ù²¹²Ôθ2/³Ù²¹²Ôθ1=ε2/ε1

Assuming there is no free charge at the boundary. [Comment: Eq. 4.68 is reminiscent of Snell's law in optics. Would a convex "lens" of dielectric material tend to "focus’’ or "defocus," the electric field?]

A point dipole p is imbedded at the center of a sphere of linear dielectric material (with radius R and dielectric constant εr). Find the electric potential inside and outside the sphere.

role="math" localid="1658748385913" [Aanswer:pcosθ4πε°ù21+2r3R3εr-1εr+2,r≤R:pcosθ4πε0r23εr+2,r≥R]

An uncharged conducting sphere of radius ais coated with a thick

insulating shell (dielectric constant εr) out to radius b.This object is now placed in an otherwise uniform electric field E→0. Find the electric field in the insulator.

Check the Clausius-Mossotti relation (Eq. 4.72) for the gases listed in Table 4.1. (Dielectric constants are given in Table 4.2.) (The densities here are so small that Eqs. 4.70 and 4.72 are indistinguishable. For experimental data that confirm the Clausius-Mossotti correction term see, for instance, the first edition of Purcell's Electricity and Magnetism, Problem 9.28.)

A very long cylinder, of radius a, carries a uniform polarization P perpendicular to its axis. Find the electric field inside the cylinder. Show that the field outside the cylinder can be expressed in the form

E(r)=a22ε0s2[2P-s^s^-P]

[Careful: I said "uniform," not "radial"!]
