Step 3:Determine thevalue Maxwell’s equation for the given functions of  B and E

Determine the value of first Maxwell’s equation for the given functions of Band.E

Substitute θ(υt−r)∇ for and (−14πε0qr2r^)−14πε0qr2r^⋅∇|θ(υt−r)| into equation (1).

∇⋅E=θ(υt−r)∇⋅(−14πε0qr2r^)−14πε0qr2r^⋅∇|θ(υt−r)|=−qε0δ3(r)θ(υt−r)−14πε0qr2(r^⋅r^)∂∂rθ(υt−r)

From problem 1.45, we are given the next δ3(r)θ(υt−r)−δ3(r)θ(t)and ∂∂rθ(υt−r)−−δ(υt−r). So, plug these expressions into equation (1) to get.

∇⋅E=−qε0δ3(r)θ(Ï…t−r)−14πε0qr2(r^â‹…r^)∂∂rθ(Ï…t−r)ÒÏ=ε0∇⋅E−−qδ3(r)θ(t)+q4Ï€r2δ(Ï…t−r)

Determine the value of second Maxwell’s equation for the given functions of Band.E

Plug the expression ofB, so we get it by

Substitute ∇⋅(0) for ∇and ∇⋅(0)=0

Determine the value of third Maxwell’s equation for the given functions of Band E.

Given that the electric field is independent of θ and ϕ the vector product will be zero.

Substitute ϕ for ∂B→∂tinto equation (2).

∇×E→=0

Determine the value of fourth Maxwell’s equation for the given functions of BandE.

To obtain the current density, plug in the formula for B and E as follows:

Substitute (−14πε0qr2θ(υt−r))r^ for E→ into equation (3).

∇×0=μ0J→+μ0ε0∂∂t(−14πε0qr2θ(υt−r))r^0=J→+ε0∂∂t(−14πε0qr2θ(υt−r))r^J→=−ε0∂∂t(−14πε0qr2θ(υt−r))r^=−ε0(−14πε0)qr2∂∂t(θ(υt−r))r^

Solve further as

J→=(q4πr2)(δ(υt−r))r^.

Suppose the circuit in Fig. 7.41 has been connected for a long time when suddenly, at time t=0, switch S is thrown from A to B, bypassing the battery.

Notice the similarity to Eq. 7.28-in a sense, the rectangular toroid is a short coaxial cable, turned on its side.

(a) What is the current at any subsequent time t?

(b) What is the total energy delivered to the resistor?

(c) Show that this is equal to the energy originally stored in the inductor.

Two concentric metal spherical shells, of radius a and b, respectively, are separated by weakly conducting material of conductivityσ(Fig. 7 .4a).

(a) If they are maintained at a potential difference V, what current flows from one to the other?

(b) What is the resistance between the shells?

(c) Notice that if b>>a the outer radius (b) is irrelevant. How do you account for that? Exploit this observation to determine the current flowing between two metal spheres, each of radius a, immersed deep in the sea and held quite far apart (Fig. 7 .4b ), if the potential difference between them is V. (This arrangement can be used to measure the conductivity of sea water.)

A circular wire loop (radiusr, resistanceR) encloses a region of uniform magnetic field,B, perpendicular to its plane. The field (occupying the shaded region in Fig. 7.56) increases linearly with timeB=αt. An ideal voltmeter (infinite internal resistance) is connected between pointsPandQ.

(a) What is the current in the loop?

(b) What does the voltmeter read? [Answer: αr2/2]

Sea water at frequency v=4×108Hzhas permittivitylocalid="1657532076763" ∈=81∈0, permeabilityμ=μ0, and resistivityÒÏ=0.23Ω.m. What is the ratio of conduction current to displacement current? [Hint: Consider a parallel-plate capacitor immersed in sea water and driven by a voltageV0cos(2Ï€±¹³Ù) .]

An infinite wire runs along the z axis; it carries a current I (z) that is a function ofz(but not of t ), and a charge density λ(t) that is a function of t (but not of z ).

(a) By examining the charge flowing into a segment dz in a time dt, show that dλ/dt=-di/dz. If we stipulate that λ(0)=0and I(0)=0, show that λ(t)=kt, I(z)=-kz, where k is a constant.

(b) Assume for a moment that the process is quasistatic, so the fields are given by Eqs. 2.9 and 5.38. Show that these are in fact the exact fields, by confirming that all four of Maxwell's equations are satisfied. (First do it in differential form, for the region s > 0, then in integral form for the appropriate Gaussian cylinder/Amperian loop straddling the axis.)
