Step by step solution

01

Expression for the electric and magnetic field strength:

Write the expression for the electric field strength.

E=14πε02λxxÁåž .....(1)

Here, εo is the permittivity of free space, λ is the charge density, and x is the distance from the wire.

Write the expression for the magnetic field strength.

B=μ04π2λνxy^B=μ02πλνxy^

02

Determine the field tensor at the point :

It is known that:

1ε0=c2μ0

Substitute1ε0=c2μ0 in equation (1).

E=14Ï€1c2μ02λxx^E=μ02π볦2xx^

Write the equation for filed tensor as an array form.

Fμν=0Ex/c-Ex/c0-Ey/c-Bx-Ez/cByEx/cEx/cBz-By0Bx-Bx0

Substitute Bx=0,Bz=0,Ey=0,Ez=0Ex=μ02π볦2xandBy=μ02πλ±¹xin equation (2).

03

Determine the dual tensor at point :

Write the equation for the dual tensor as an array form.

Gμν=0Bx-Bx0-ByEz/c-BzEy/cByBz-Ez/cEy/c0-Ex/cEx/c0..........(3)

Substitute 0forBz,0forBx,0forEy,,0forEz,μ0볦22Ï€xforExandμ0볦2Ï€xforByin equation (3).

role="math" localid="1654682762200" Gμν=0000-μ0λν2Ï€x000μ0λν2Ï€x0000-μ0볦22Ï€xcμ0볦22Ï€xc0Gμν=0000-v00v00000-c00

Therefore, the field tensor and the dual tensor at the point x,0,0is
