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).]

Which of the potentials in Ex. 10.1, Prob. 10.3, and Prob. 10.4 are in the Coulomb gauge? Which are in the Lorenz gauge? (Notice that these gauges are not mutually exclusive.)

Find the (Lorenz gauge) potentials and fields of a time-dependent ideal electric dipole p(t) at the origin. (It is stationary, but its magnitude and/or direction are changing with time.) Don't bother with the contact term. [Answer:

V(r,t)=14πε0r^r2⋅[p+(r/c)p˙]A(r,t)=μ04π[]E(r,t)=−μ04π{P¨−r^(r^⋅p¨)+c2[p+(r/c)p˙]−3r^(r^⋅[p+(r/c)p˙])r3}B(r,t)=−μ04π{r^×[p˙+(r/c)p¨]r2}

Where all the derivatives of p are evaluated at the retarded time.]

A particle of charge q1is at rest at the origin. A second particle, of chargeq2 , moves along the axis at constant velocity v.

(a) Find the force F12(t) ofq1 on q2, at timet . (Whenq2 is at z=vt).

(b) Find the force F21(t)ofq2 onq1 , at time t. Does Newton's third law hold, in this case?

(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.

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=q4πε01r2(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?
