For a configuration of charges and currents confined within a volume

V,show that

∫V⇶Ĵ³»åÏ„=dp⇶Ädt

where p⇶Äis the total dipole moment.

Short Answer

Expert verified

It is proved that∫V⇶Ĵ³»åÏ„=dp⇶Ädt.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

There is a configuration of charges and currents confined within a volume Vand total dipole moment p⇶Ä.

02

Dipole moment

For a charge density p spread over a volume V, the dipole moment

p⇶Ä=∫vpr⇶ÄdÏ„.....(1)

Here, r is a spherical polar coordinate and τis an infinitesimal volume element.

03

Rate of change of dipole moment

From equation (1), the rate of change of dipole moment

dp⇶Ädt=ddt∫vÒÏr⇶ÄdÏ„

Use continuity equation to get

dp⇶Ädt=-∫v∇⇶Ä.J⇶Är⇶ĻåÏ„

Here, J⇶Äis the current density.

Use just one component of r⇶Äand product rule to prove

∫v∇⇶Ä.J⇶Äx»åÏ„=-∫v∇⇶Ä.xJ⇶ÄdÏ„+∫v∇⇶Äx.J⇶ÄdÏ„=-∮sxJ⇶Ä.ds⇶Ä+∫vx^.J⇶ÄdÏ„=∫vJxdÏ„

Here, the surface integral goes to zero because the surface can be taken at infinity where the current density is zero. The x component of the current density is left inside the integral.

Considering the other two components,

dp⇶Ädt=∫vJ⇶ÄdÏ„

Hence, the equation is proved.
