Two long, straight copper pipes, each of radius R, are held a distance

2d apart. One is at potential V0, the other at -V0(Fig. 3.16). Find the potential

everywhere. [Hint: Exploit the result of Prob. 2.52.]

The linear charge density is=2蟺蔚0V0cosh1dR

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The following figure consists of two long straight copper pipes separated by distance 2don -axis. One pipe is at potential -V0and another pipe is at +V0.

Write the expression for the charge due to the wire of charge density +at point (x,y,z) is,

V+=(0lns+d)鈥︹ (1)

Here, sis the distance from +to (x,y,z).

Write the expression for the charge due to wire of charge density -at point(x,y,z)is,

localid="1657421100992" V=(0lnsd)鈥︹ (2)

Here, sis the distance from -to (x,y,z).

02

Determine total potential

Write the expression for the total potential.

V=V++V-鈥︹. (3)

Here, Vis the total potential.

Substitute the 2蟺蔚0lns+dfor V+and 2蟺蔚0lnsdfor V-in above equation (3).

V=2蟺蔚0lnsd+2蟺蔚0lnsd

=2蟺蔚0lnsdlns+d

=2蟺蔚0lnss鈥︹. (4)

From the figure, the distance and respectively are,

s+=(xd)2+y2

s-=(x+d)2+y2鈥︹. (5)

Substitute (xd)2+y2for role="math" localid="1657421577606" s+and (x+d)2+y2for s-in equation (5)

V=2蟺蔚0ln(x+d)2+y2(xd)2+y2

=i2蟺锄0ln(x+d)2+y21/2(xd)2+y21/2

=2蟺蔚0ln(x+d)2+y2(xd)2+y21/2

=2蟺蔚012ln(x+d)2+y2(xd)2+y2

Simplify the above equation, then the potential is,

V=4蟺蔚0ln(x+a)2+y2(xa)2+y2

Thus, the Potential at any point is V=4蟺蔚0ln(x+a)2+y2(xa)2+y2.

03

Determine charge density

The potential is constant at all the places on the equipotential surface. Hence from equation (1) (x+a)2+z2(xa)2+z2is constant (k).

Therefore,

(x+a)2+z2(xa)2+z2=k

x2+a2+2ax+z2=kx2+a22ax+z2

x2[k1]+a2[k1]+z2[k1]2ax[k+1]=0

x2+a2+z22ax(k+1)(k1)=0鈥︹ (6)

x22xa(k+1)(k1)+a2+z2=0

Add the a(k+1)a(k1)2on both sides.

x22xa(k+1)(k1)+a(k+1)(k1)2+z2=a(k+1)(k1)2a2

xa(k+1)(k1)2+z2=a2k+1k121

xa(k+1)(k1)2+z2=a24k(k1)2

xa(k+1)(k1)2+z2=2akk12

The above expression is write as,

xy02+zz02=R2 鈥︹ (7)

Here, y0=a(k+1)(k1)and Z0=0

Substitute the value of y0,z0in equation (7).

Then the expression for localid="1657459125250" Ris

R=2akk1

Thus, the represents circular cylinder with axis parallel to x-axis centered at y0,z0=a(k+1)k1,0and radius R=2akk1.

Let鈥檚 assume that, potential corresponds to v0, then

V0=4蟺蔚0lnk

Rewrite the above equation for lnklnk

4蟺蔚0V0=lnk

e4蟺蔚0V0=k

Let鈥檚 consider that, P=4蟺蔚0V0^then k=e.

Now,

y0=a(k+1)k1

=aep+1ep1

=aeP/2+eP/2eP/2eP/2

Then,

y0=acothP2

Substitute 4蟺蔚0V0for Pin above equation.

y0=acoth4蟺蔚0V02

=acoth2蟺蔚0V0 鈥︹ (8)

Substitute epfor kin R=2akk1equation.

R=2aepep1

=2ae/2ep1

=2a1ep/2ep/2

=a2eP/2eP/2

So,

R=acosechP2

Substitute the value 4蟺蔚0V0for Pin above equation.

R=acosech2蟺蔚0V0 鈥.... (9)

Hence, the radius of the cylinder corresponding to given v0is R=acosech2蟺蔚0V0.

As, y0dequation (8) becomes,

d=acoth2蟺蔚0V0......(10)

And from equation (9),

R=acosech2蟺蔚0V0 ......(11)

Divide the equation (10) with (11)

dR=acoth2蟺蔚0V0acosech2蟺蔚0V0

role="math" localid="1657460122368" dR=cosh2蟺蔚0V0sinh2蟺蔚0V0sinh2蟺蔚0V0

dR=cosh2蟺蔚0V0

2蟺蔚0V0=cosh1dR

Thus,

=2蟺蔚0V0cosh1dR

Hence, the linear charge density is =2蟺蔚0V0cosh1dR.
