SupposeJ(r) is constant in time, so (Prob. 7.60 ) p(r,t)=p(r,0)+p(r,0)t. Show that

E(r,t)=14πε0∫p(r',t)r2r^db'

that is, Coulomb’s law holds, with the charge density evaluated at the non-retarded time.

Short Answer

Expert verified

It is showed that the equationEr,t=14πε0∫pr',tr2r^db' holds the coulomb’s law with the charge density evaluated at the non-retarded time.

Step by step solution

01

Expression for the time-dependent generalization of Coulomb’s law:

When is constant in time, the condition is as follows:

p(r,t)=p(r,0)J(r,t)=0

Here,p is the charge density and J is the current density.

Write the expression for the time-dependent generalization of Coulomb’s law.

E(r,t)=14πε0∫[pr',trr2r^+pr',trcrr^-Jr',trc2r]db' …… (1)

Here,ε0 is the permittivity of free space, c is the speed of light.

02

Prove E(r,t)=14πε0∫p(r',t)r2r^db' :

Substitute pr,t=pr,0and Jr,t=0in equation (1).

Er,t=14πε0∫pr',trr2r^+pr',trcrr^-Jr',trc2rdb'Er,t=14πε0∫pr',trr2r^+pr',trcrr^-J0c2rdb'Er,t=14πε0∫pr',trr2r^+pr',trcrr^db'Er,t=14πε0∫pr',0+pr',0trr2r^+pr',trcrr^db'.....(2)

Here,tris the retarded time which is given as:

tr=t-rc

Substitute tr=t-rcin equation (2).

Er,t=14πε0∫pr',0+pr',0t-rcr2r^+pr',trcrr^db'Er,t=14πε0∫pr',0+pr',0tr2r^+pr',0rcr2+pr',0crr^db'Er,t=14πε0∫pr',0+pr',0tr2r^r^db'Er,t=14πε0∫pr',tr2r^db'

Therefore, it is showed that the equationEr,t=14πε0∫pr',tr2r^db' holds the coulomb’s law with the charge density evaluated at the non-retarded time.

Figure 2.35 summarizes the laws of electrostatics in a "triangle diagram" relating the source (ÒÏ), the field ,(E) and the potential (V). Figure 5.48 does the same for magnetostatics, where the source is J, the field isB , and the potential is A. Construct the analogous diagram for electrodynamics, with sources ÒÏandJ (constrained by the continuity equation), fields EandB , and potentialsVandA (constrained by the Lorenz gauge condition).

Develop the potential formulation for electrodynamics with magnetic charge (Eq. 7.44).

One particle, of charge q1, is held at rest at the origin. Another particle, of charge q2, approaches along the x axis, in hyperbolic motion:

x(t)=b2+(ct)2

it reaches the closest point, b, at time t=0, and then returns out to infinity.

(b) What total impulse (I2=∫-∞∞F2dt)is delivered to q2by q1?

(c) What is the force F1on q1(due to q2 ) at time t?

(d) What total impulse (I1=∫-∞∞F1dt)is delivered to q1by q2? [Hint: It might help to review Prob. 10.17 before doing this integral. Answer:I2=-I1=q1q24πε0bc ]

(c) Calculate the linear momentump(t) in the electromagnetic fields, at timet . (Don't bother with any terms that are constant in time, since you won't need them in part (d)). [Answer:(μ0q1q2/4πt) ]

(d) Show that the sum of the forces is equal to minus the rate of change of the momentum in the fields, and interpret this result physically.
