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.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The two potentials for problem 10.1 are in Coulomb gauge and Lorentz gauge.

(b)The potentials for problem 10.3 are not in the Coulomb gauge and Lorentz gauge.

(c)The potentials for problem 10.4 are in the Coulomb gauge and Lorentz gauge.

Step by step solution

01

Write the condition for the potential in the Coulomb gauge and Lorenz gauge:

Write the condition for the potential in the Coulomb gauge.

A=0 鈥︹ (1)

Here, A is the potential corresponding to the Coulomb gauge.

Write the condition for the potential in the Lorentz gauge.

A=-00dVdt 鈥︹ (2)

Here, V is the potential corresponding to the Lorentz gauge, 0 is the magnetic permeability and 0is the electrical permittivity of free space.

02

Determine the validation of potentials of Coulomb’s gauge and Lorentz for problem 10.1:

(a)

Refer to problem 10.1 to obtain the potential as,

V=0

Write the general expression for the potential corresponding to the Coulomb gauge.

A=0k4cct-x2 鈥︹ (3)

Here, k is a constant, c is the speed of light, t is the time and x is a point in a space along the x-axis.

The above potential is valid for,x<ct.

And forx>ct.

Rewrite the equation (3) as,

A=0

Write the expression for the divergence of potential along the x-axis.

A=x^ddx+y^ddy+z^ddz0k4cct-x2 鈥︹ (4)

Solve equation (4) to find the value of Afor x<ct.

A=x^ddx+y^ddy+z^ddz0k4cct-x2

Substitute x^ddx=0and y^ddx=0in equation (4).

A=0+0+z^ddz0k4cct-x2A=z^ddz0k4cct-x2A=0ct-x2A=0

Substitute role="math" localid="1653969420708" A=0in equation (2).

0=-00dVdtdVdt=0

Therefore, the two potentials are in the coulomb gauge and Lorentz gauge.

03

Determine the validation of potentials of Coulomb’s gauge and Lorentz for problem 10.3:

(b)

Write the expression for the potential for the problem 10.3.

V=0A=-140qtr2.......(5)

Here, q is the charge, t is the time, and r is the radial distance.

Substitute the value of Afrom equation (5).

A=-qt401r2A=-qt404S3rA=-qt0S3rA0

Clearly, the potential corresponding to the Coulomb gauge has a non-zero value.

Substitute -qt0S3rfor Ain equation (2) as,

-qt0S3r=-00dVdtdVdt=qt0S3r00dVdt0

Clearly, the potential corresponding to the Lorentz gauge is also having a non-zero value.

Therefore, the potentials are not in the coulomb gauge and Lorentz gauge.

04

Determine the validation of potentials of Coulomb’s gauge and Lorentz for problem 10.4:

(a)

Write the expression for the potential for the problem 10.4.

V=0A=A0sinkx-t.........(6)

Here, A0, and k are the constants.

The equation (5) is the wave function in the Cartesian coordinates. So, the value of Ais,

A=x^ddx+y^ddy+z^ddzA0sinkx-tA=SSyA0sinkx-tA=0

Clearly, the potential corresponding to the Coulomb gauge is zero.

Substitute 0 for Ain equation (2).

0=-00dVdtdVdt=0

Clearly, the potential corresponding to the Lorentz gauge is also equal to zero.

Therefore, the potentials are in the Coulomb gauge and Lorentz gauge.
