A particle of chargeq moves in a circle of radius a at constant angular velocity . (Assume that the circle lies in thexy plane, centered at the origin, and at timet=0 the charge is at role="math" localid="1653885001176" a,0, on the positive x axis.) Find the Li茅nard-Wiechert potentials for points on the z-axis.

Expert verified

The Lienard-Wiechert potentials for points on the z-axis are Vz,t=14蟺蔚0qz2+a2and Az,t=qa4蟺蔚0c2z2+a2-sintrx^+costry^.

Step by step solution

01

Expression for the position and linear velocity of a particle:

Write the expression for the position of a particle.

r(t)=a[costx^+sinty^]

Here, t is the retarded time andt is the position of q at time t.

Write the expression for the linear velocity of a particle.

Vt=a-sintx^+costy^Vt=a-sintx^+costy^

02

Determine the Lienard-Wiechert potentials for a moving particle:

Write the expression for the retarded position to the field point r.

r=zz^-acostrx^+sintry^r2=zz^-acostrx^+sintry^zz^-acostrx^+sintry^r2=z2+a2r=z2+a2

Write the relation between retarded position and linear velocity.

r^V=1rrV

Substitute the value of rand Vin the above expression.

r^V=1r-a-sintrcostrx^+sintrcostra-sintrx^+costry^r^V=1r-a2-sintrcostr+sintrcostrr^V=0

Write the expression for the Lienard-Wiechert potentials for a moving particle.

V(r,t)=14蟺蔚0qcrc-r^v 鈥︹ (1)

Here, v is the velocity of the charge, r is the vector from the retard position to the field point r, c is the speed of light and q is the charge.

For the z-axis, re-write the above expression.

Vz,t=14蟺蔚0qrVz,t=14蟺蔚0qz2+a2

03

Determine the Lienard-Wiechert potentials for a vector potential:

Write the expression for the vector potential.

Ar,t=04qcvrc-rv 鈥︹ (2)

From equations (1) and (2),

Ar,t=vc2Vr,t

For the z-axis, re-write the above expression.

Az,t=vc2Vz,t

Substitutev=a-sintrx^+costry^andr=zz^-acostrx^+sintry^in the above expression.

Az,t=a-sintrx^+costry^c2q4蟺蔚0z2+a2Az,t=qa4蟺蔚0c2z2+a2-sintrx^+costry^

Therefore, the Lienard-Wiechert potentials for points on the z-axis are equated asVz,t=14蟺蔚0qz2+a2 and Az,t=qa4蟺蔚0c2z2+a2-sintrx^+costry^.

Question: Suppose a point charge q is constrained to move along the x axis. Show that the fields at points on the axis to the right of the charge are given by

E=q401r2(c+v)(c-v)x^,B=0

(Do not assume is constant!) What are the fields on the axis to the left of the charge?

Question: A time-dependent point charge q(t) at the origin, (r,t)=q(t)3(r), is fed by a current , J(r,t)=-(14)(qr2)r^ where q=dqdt.

(a) Check that charge is conserved, by confirming that the continuity equation is obeyed.

(b) Find the scalar and vector potentials in the Coulomb gauge. If you get stuck, try working on (c) first.

(c) Find the fields, and check that they satisfy all of Maxwell's equations. .

Question: Suppose you take a plastic ring of radius and glue charge on it, so that the line charge density is . Then you spin the loop about its axis at an angular velocity . Find the (exact) scalar and vector potentials at the center of the ring. [Answer:]

Confirm that the retarded potentials satisfy the Lorenz gauge condition.

(Jr)=1r(J)+12('J)'(Jr)

Where denotes derivatives with respect to, and' denotes derivatives with respect tor'. Next, noting that J(r',tr/c)depends on r'both explicitly and through, whereas it depends on r only through, confirm that

J=1cJ(r), 'J=1cJ('r)

Use this to calculate the divergence ofA (Eq. 10.26).]

Show that the differential equations for V and A (Eqs. 10.4 and 10.5) can be written in the more symmetrical form
