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.]

Short Answer

Expert verified

The potential at all the points areVx,y=40lnz2+y+a2z2+y-a2 with =20V0coshdR, a=Rcosh2cosh-1dR-1with a=d2-R2.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The following figure consists of two long straight copper pipes separated by distance 2d on x-

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,zis,

V+=-2蟺蔚0Ins+d 鈥︹ (1)

Here, S+is 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,

V-=2蟺蔚0Ins-d 鈥︹ (2)

Here, localid="1658318788283" S-is the distance from -to x,y,z.

02

Determine total potential

Write the expression for the total potential.

V=V+V 鈥︹. (3)

Here, V is the total potential.

Substitute the -2蟺蔚0InS+dfor Viand 2蟺蔚0InS-dfor V in above equation (3).

V=-(20InS+d)+(20InS-d)=2蟺蔚0[InS-d-InS+d]=2蟺蔚0In(S-S+) 鈥︹. (4)

From the figure, the distance S+and S-respectively are,

S+=(x-d)2+y2S-=(x+d)2+y2 鈥︹. (5)

Substitute (x-d)2+y2for S+and (x+d)2+y2for S-in equation (5)

V=2蟺蔚0In(x+d)2+y2(x-d)2+y2=2蟺蔚0In(x+d2+y2)1/2(x-d2+y2)1/2=2蟺蔚0In((x+d)2+y2)(x-d)2+y2)1/2=2蟺蔚012In((x+d)2+y2)(x-d)2+y2)

Simplify the above equation, then the potential is,

V=2蟺蔚012In((x+d)2+y2)(x-d)2+y2)

Thus, the Potential at any point is V=2蟺蔚012In((x+d)2+y2)(x-d)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(x-a)2+z2is constant (k) .

Therefore,

(x+a)2+z2(x-a)2+z2=kx2+a22ax+z2=k[x2+a2-2ax+z2]x2[k-1]+a2[k-1]+z2[k-1]-2ax[k+1]=0x2+a2+z2-2ax(k+1)(k-1)=0 鈥(6)

localid="1656933549284" x2-2xa(k+1)(k-1)+(a2+z2)=0

Add the [ak+1k-1]2on both sides.

x2-2xa(k+1)(k-1)+[a(k+1)(k-1)]2+z2=[a(k+1)(k-1)]2-a2[x-a(k+1)(k-1)]2+z2=a2[(k+1k-1)2-1][x-a(k+1)(k-1)]2+z2=a2[4k(k-1)2][x-a(k+1)(k-1)]2+z2=[2akk-1]2

The above expression is write as,

[x-y0]2+(z-z0)2=R2 鈥︹ (7)

Here, y0=a(k+1)(k-1)and z0=0

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

Then the expression for R is

R=2akk-1

Thus, the represents circular cylinder with axis parallel to x-axis centered at

(y0,z0)=(ak+1k-1,0)and radius R=2akk-1.

Let鈥檚 assume that, potential corresponds to V0, then

V0=4蟺蔚0Ink

Rewrite the above equation for Ink

4蟺蔚0=Inke4蟺蔚0=k

Let鈥檚 consider that, P=4蟺蔚0then k=eP.

Now,

y0=a(k+1)k-1=a(eP+1)eP-1=a(eP/2+e-P/2eP/2-e-P/2)

Then,

y0=acoth(P2)

Substitute 4蟺蔚0V0for P in above equation.

y0=acoth(4蟺蔚0V02)=acoth(4蟺蔚0V0) 鈥︹ (8)

Substitute ePfor k in R=2akk-1equation.

R=2aePeP-1=2aeP/2eP-1=2a1eP/2-eP/2=2eP/2-e-P/2

So,

R=acoshech(P2)

Substitute the value 4蟺蔚0V0for P in above equation.

R=acosech(4蟺蔚0V0) 鈥.... (9)

Hence, the radius of the cylinder corresponding to given V0is R=acosech(4蟺蔚0V0).

As, y0dequation (8) becomes,

d=acoth(4蟺蔚0V0) ......(10)

And from equation (9),

R=acosech(4蟺蔚0V0) ......(11)

Divide the equation (10) with (11)

dR=acoth(2蟺蔚0V0)acosech(20V0)dR=[cosh2蟺蔚0V0sinh20V0][sinh2蟺蔚0V0]dR=cosh(2蟺蔚0V0)20V0=cosh-1(dR)

Thus,

=2蟺蔚0V0cosh-1(dR)

Hence, the linear charge density is =2蟺蔚0V0cosh-1(dR).

Most popular questions from this chapter

In Prob. 2.25, you found the potential on the axis of a uniformly charged disk:

V(r,0)=20(r2+R2-r)

(a) Use this, together with the fact that PI(1)=1, to evaluate the first three terms

in the expansion (Eq. 3.72) for the potential of the disk at points off the axis, assuming r>R.

(b) Find the potential for r<Rby the same method, using Eq. 3.66. [Note: You

must break the interior region up into two hemispheres, above and below the

disk. Do not assume the coefficientsAIare the same in both hemispheres.]

Buckminsterfullerine is a molecule of 60 carbon atoms arranged

like the stitching on a soccer-ball. It may be approximated as a conducting spherical shell of radius R=3.5A. A nearby electron would be attracted, according to Prob. 3.9, so it is not surprising that the ion C60-exists. (Imagine that the electron on average-smears itself out uniformly over the surface.) But how about a second electron? At large distances it would be repelled by the ion, obviously, but at a certain distance r (from the center), the net force is zero, and closer than this it would be attracted. So an electron with enough energy to get in that close should bind.

(a) Find r, in A. [You'll have to do it numerically.]

(b) How much energy (in electron volts) would it take to push an electron in (from

infinity) to the point r? [Incidentally, the C60-ion has been observed.]

a) Using the law of cosines, show that Eq. 3.17 can be written as follows:

Vr,=14蟺蔚0qr2+a2-2谤补肠辞蝉胃-qR2+raR2-2谤补肠辞蝉胃

Where rand are the usual spherical polar coordinates, with the z axis along the

line through q. In this form, it is obvious that V=0on the sphere, r=R.

b) Find the induced surface charge on the sphere, as a function of . Integrate this to get the total induced charge. (What should it be?)

c) Calculate the energy of this configuration.

The potential at the surface of a sphere (radius R) is given by
V0=kcos3,

Where kis a constant. Find the potential inside and outside the sphere, as well as the surface charge density() on the sphere. (Assume there's no charge inside or outside the sphere.)

An ideal electric dipole is situated at the origin, and points in the direction, as in Fig. 3.36. An electric charge is released from rest at a point in the x-y plane. Show that it swings back and forth in a semi-circular arc, as though it were apendulum supported at the origin.
