Find and sketch the trajectory of the particle in Ex. 5.2, if it starts at

the origin with velocity

(a)v→(0)=EByÁåœ(b)v→(0)=E2ByÁåœ(c)v→(0)=EB(yÁåœ+zÁåœ).

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The trajectory for v→0=EByÁåœis

yt=EBtzt=0

(b) The trajectory for v→0=E2ByÁåœis

yt=-E2Ó¬BÓ¬t+EBtzt=-E2Ó¬BcosÓ¬t+E2Ó¬B

(c) The trajectory for v→0=EByÁåœ+zÁåœis

yt=-EÓ¬BcosÓ¬t+EBt+EÓ¬Bzt=EÓ¬BsinÓ¬t

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Initial velocity of the particle is

av→0=EByÁåœ,bv→0=E2ByÁåœ,cv→0=EByÁåœ+zÁåœ

02

General trajectory of a particle in crossed electric and magnetic field

The general trajectory of a charge in the given electric field E→and magnetic field B→is

y(t)=C1cos(Ó¬t)+C2sin(Ó¬t)+EBt+C3.....(1)z(t)=C2cos(Ó¬t)+C1sin(Ó¬t)+C4.....(2)

Here, Ó¬is the frequency and C1are constants to be set from initial conditions.

Trajectory for the first case

The initial conditions are

(i)y0=0

Apply this to equation (1) .

C1+C3=0

(ii) z0=0

Apply this to equation (2) .

C2+C4=0

(iii) y.0=EB

Applied this to equation (1) .

C2=0

Thus,C4=0

(iv) z.0=0

Apply this to equation (2) .

C1=0

Thus,C3=0

Hence, the trajectory is

yt=EBtzt=0

04

Trajectory for the second case

The initial conditions are

(i)y0=0

Apply this to equation (1) .

C1+C3=0

(ii) z0=0

Apply this to equation (2) .

C2+C4=0

(iii) y.0=E2B

Apply this to equation (1) .

C2=-E2Ó¬B

Thus, C4=E2Ó¬B

(iv) z.0=0

Apply this to equation (2) .

C1=0

Thus,C3=0

Hence, the trajectory is

yt=-E2Ó¬BsinÓ¬t+EBtzt=-E2Ó¬BcosÓ¬t+E2Ó¬B

05

Trajectory for the third case

The initial conditions are

(i)y0=0

Apply this to equation (1) .

C1+C3=0

(ii) z0=0

Apply this to equation (2) .

C2+C4=0

(iii) y.0=EB

Apply this to equation (1) .

C2=0

Thus, C4=0

(iv) z.0=EB

Apply this to equation (2) .

C1=-EÓ¬B

Thus, C4=EÓ¬B

Hence, the trajectory is

yt=-EÓ¬BcosÓ¬t+EBt+EÓ¬Bzt=EÓ¬BsinÓ¬t

Most popular questions from this chapter

(a) one way to fill in the "missing link" in Fig. 5.48 is to exploit the analogy between the defining equations for A(viz∇-A=0,∇×A=B)and Maxwell's equations forB(viz∇.B=0∇×B=μ0J).Evidently A depends on B in exactly the same way that B depends onμ0J(to wit: the Biot-Savart law). Use this observation to write down the formula for A in terms of B.

(b) The electrical analog to your result in (a) is

localid="1658557463395" V(r)=-14π∫E(r')-r^r2dτ'

Derive it, by exploiting the appropriate analogy.

Question: Find the magnetic field at point Pfor each of the steady current configurations shown in Fig. 5.23.

A magnetic dipole m⇶Ä=m0z^ is situated at the origin, in an otherwiseuniform magnetic field B⇶Ä=B0z^ . Show that there exists a spherical surface, centered at the origin, through which no magnetic field lines pass. Find the radius of this sphere, and sketch the field lines, inside and out.

I worked out the multipole expansion for the vector potential of a line current because that's the most common type, and in some respects the easiest to handle. For a volume current J:

(a) Write down the multipole expansion, analogous to Eq. 5.80.

(b) Write down the monopole potential, and prove that it vanishes.

(c) Using Eqs. 1.107 and 5.86, show that the dipole moment can be written

m=12∫(r×J)dτ

Is Ampere's law consistent with the general rule (Eq. 1.46) that divergence-of-curl is always zero? Show that Ampere's law cannot be valid, in general, outside magnetostatics. Is there any such "defect" in the other three Maxwell equations?
