A particle of charge q is traveling at constant speed v along the x axis. Calculate the total power passing through the plane x=aX, at the moment the particle itself is at the origin. [ Answer q2v32Πε0a2]

Short Answer

Expert verified

The total power passing through the plane is P=vq232πε0a2.

Step by step solution

01

Expression for the total power passing through the plane:

Write the expression for the total power passing through the plane.

P=∫S·da …… (1)

Here, S is the poynting vector.

02

Determine the Poynting vector:

Write the expression for the Poynting vector.

S=1μ0E×B …… (2)

Here,μ0 is the permeability of free space, E is the electric field, and B is the magnetic field which is given as:

B=1c2v×E

Substitute B=1c2v×Ein equation (2).

role="math" localid="1653901917989" S=1μ0E×1c2v×ES=1μ0c2E×v×E......(3)

Here,1c2=μ0ε0

Substitute 1c2=μ0ε0in equation (3).

S=μ0ε0μ0E×v×ES=ε0E2v-v·EE

03

Determine the total power passing through the plane:

Consider the figure,

The value of da is given as:

da=2Ï€rdrx^

Substitute S=ε0E2v-v·EEand da=2πrdrx^in equation (1).

P=∫ε0E2v-v·EE2πrdrx^P=ε0∫E2v-EvcosθEx2πrdrP=ε0∫E2v-Ex2v2πrdr

Here, Ex=Ecosθ

Hence, the above equation becomes,

role="math" localid="1653902580996" P=ε0∫E2v-Ecosθ2v2πrdrP=vε0∫E2-E2cos2θ2πrdrP=2πε0v∫E2sin2θrdr.......(4)

Here, E is the electric field due to a point charge.

Write the expression for an electric field due to a point charge.

E=q4πε0γ211-v2sin2θc23/2R^R2

Substitute E=q4πε0γ211-v2sin2θc23/2R^R2in equation (4).

P=2πε0vq4πε0γ211-v2sin2θc23/2R^R22sin2θrdrP=2πε0vq4πε021γ4∫0∞rsin2θR41-vcsinθ23dr.....(5)

Let,

r=atanθdr=asec2θdθdr=acos2θdθ

From the figure, the data is observed as:

1R=cosθa

Substitute r=atanθ,dr=acos2θdθand 1R=cosθain equation (5).

P=v2γ4a24πε01a2∫0π2sin3θcosθ1-vcsinθ23dθ …… (6)

Let,

u=sin2θdu=2sinθcosθ

Hence, the equation (6) becomes,

P=vq216πε0a2γ4∫01udu1-vc2u3P=vq216πε0a2γ4×γ42P=vq232πε0a2

Therefore, the total power passing through the plane isP=vq232πε0a2 .

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',t−r/c)depends on r'both explicitly and through, whereas it depends on r only through, confirm that

∇⋅J=−1cJ˙⋅(∇r), ∇'â‹…J=−ÒÏ˙−1cJ˙⋅(∇'r)

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

A uniformly charged rod (length L, charge density λ ) slides out thex axis at constant speedv. At time t = 0 the back end passes the origin (so its position as a function of time is x = vt , while the front end is at x = vt + L ). Find the retarded scalar potential at the origin, as a function of time, for t > 0 . [First determine the retarded time t1 for the back end, the retarded time t2 for the front end, and the corresponding retarded positions x1 and x2 .] Is your answer consistent with the Liénard-Wiechert potential, in the point charge limit (L << vt , with λL=q)? Do not assume v << c .
