03

Determine the value of scalar and vector potentials of a time-dependent ideal electric dipole p(t) at the origin, magnetic and electrical field of a time-dependent ideal electric dipole p(t) at the origin.

Determine the (Lorenz gauge) potentials of a time-dependent ideal electric dipolep(t)at the origin.

Substitute 1r1+r→⋅r'r2for ιand t0+r→⋅r→'r2 for tr into equation (1).

Where, t0=t−r/c with this we can expand the potentials:

V=14πε0∫VÒÏ(r→',tr)ιdV'≈14πε0∫V(ÒÏ(r→',t0)+r→⋅r→'rcÒÏË™(r→',t0))(1+r→⋅r→'rc)1rdV'≈14πε0∫V(ÒÏ(r→',t0)+r→r2â‹…(ÒÏ(r→',t0)r→')+r→rcâ‹…(ÒÏË™(r→',t0)r→'))dV'

Using the definition of a dipole moment, ignoring the fact that the first term is the total charge (zero), and leaving out the o(r'2)terms:

Therefore, the value of (Lorenz gauge) potentials of a time-dependent ideal electric dipole at the origin ptis V=14πε0r^r2⋅(p→(t0)+(r/c)p→˙(t0)).

Determine the vector potentials of a time-dependent ideal electric dipole ptat the origin.

Substitute 1r1+r→⋅r'r2 for ιandt0+r→⋅r→'r2 for tr into equation (1).

role="math" localid="1658843272323" A→=μ04π∫V(J→(r→',t0)+r→⋅r→'rcJ→(r→',t0))1+r→⋅r→'rc1rdV'

However, according to the (eq. 5.31) we have:

∫VJ→dV'=p→˙

And

J→(r→')=ÒÏυ→'=ÒÏr→˙

Therefore, all terms other than the first will have an o(r'2) or higher and may be eliminated. Due to this, just the initial phrase is preserved.

A≈μ04Ï€r∫VJ→(r→',t0)dV'=μ04Ï€ÒÏ→˙(t0)r

Therefore, the value of vector potentials of a time-dependent ideal electric dipole p(t)at the origin is A→≈μ04πp→˙(t0)r.

Determine the magnetic field of a time-dependent ideal electric dipole p(t) at the origin.

Substituteμ04π∇ for ∇ and p→˙(t0)r for A→into equation (3).

B→=μ04π∇×p→˙(t0)r=μ04π1r∇×p→˙(t0)−p→˙(t0)×∇1r=μ04π1r∇t0×p→¨(t0)+1r2p→˙(t0)×r^=−μ04πr^rc×p→¨(t0)+1r2p→˙(t0)×r^

Solve further as

B→=−μ04π1r2(r^×p→˙(t0)+(r/c)r^×p→¨(t0))

Therefore, the value of magnetic field of a time-dependent ideal electric dipole p(t) at the origin is B→=−μ04π1r2(r^×p→˙(t0)+(r/c)r^×p→¨(t0)).

Determine the electric field of a time-dependent ideal electric dipole ptat the origin.

Substitute μ04πp→¨(t0)r for ∂A→∂t and 14πε0∇r^⋅p→(t0)r2+r^⋅p→˙(t0)rfor V into equation (4).

E→=−14πε0∇r^⋅p→(t0)r2+r^⋅p→˙(t0)r−μ04πp→¨(t0)r

We may broaden the gradients of the scalar products using identity (ii) on page 21:

∇r^⋅p→(t0)r2=r^r2×(∇×p→(t0))+r^r2⋅∇p→(t0)+(p→(t0)⋅∇)r^r2∇r^⋅p→(t0)r2=r^rc×(∇×p→(t0))+r^r2⋅∇p→(t0)+(p→(t0)⋅∇)r^rc

Where we used the fact that ∇×(r^/r2)=0. The terms are:

∇×p→(t0)=−r^c×p→˙(t0)∇×p→˙(t0)=−r^c×p→¨(t0)r^r2⋅∇p→(t0)=xr3∂∂x+yr3∂∂y+zr3p→(t0)=1r3xp→˙(t0)∂t0∂x+yp→˙(t0)∂t0∂y+zp→˙(t0)∂t0∂z

Solve further as

r^r2⋅∇p→(t0)=p→˙(t0)r3r→⋅∇t0=−p→˙(t0)r2c

Similarly:

r^rc⋅∇p→˙(t0)=−p→¨(t0)c2r

The final two terms are:

(p→(t0)⋅∇)r^r2=px∂∂x+py∂∂y+pz∂∂zxx^+yy^+zz^r3=pxr3x−3r2−rr6+...=pxrx^−3xr^r4+...

Summing the terms:

1r4|px(rx^−3xr^)+py(ry^−3yr^)+pz(rz^−3zr^)|=1r3|p→(t0−3(p→(t0)⋅r^)r^)|

Similarly:

(p→˙(t0)⋅∇)r^rc=px∂∂x+py∂∂y+pz∂∂zxx^+yy^+zz^r2c=p˙x1cx^r2−2rxrr→r4+...=p˙x1crx^−2xr^r3+...

Summing the terms:

1r3c[p˙x(x^r−2xr^)+p˙y(y^r−2yr^)+p˙z(zr^)]=1r2c[p→˙(t0)−2(p→˙(t0)⋅r^)r^]

Now, using the rule of BAC-CAB and (1) and (2) we have:

−r^r2×r^c×p→˙(t0)=−r^cr^⋅p→˙(t0)r2+p→˙(t0)1r2c−r^rc×r^c×p→˙(t0)=−r^cr^⋅p→˙(t0)r2+p→˙(t0)1rc2

Using this with (3), (4), (5) and (6) the gradient of potential is:

∇V=14πε0−r^(r^⋅p→¨(t0))c2r+1r3(p→+rcp→˙(t0))−3r^(r^⋅(p→−rcp→˙(t0)))

The electric field is finally, when the vector potential term is included andc2=1/ε0μ0 :

role="math" E→=−μ04πp→(t0)−r^(r^⋅p→¨(t0))r+c2r3(p→+rcp→˙(t0))−3r^(r→⋅(p→−rcp→˙(t0)))

Therefore, the value of electric field of a time-dependent ideal electric dipolept at the origin is E→=−μ04πp→(t0)−r^(r^⋅p→¨(t0))r+c2r3p→+rcp→˙(t0)−3r^r→⋅p→−rcp→˙(t0)
