Derivefrom the Rodrigues formula, and check that satisfies the angular equation (3.60) for . Check that and are orthogonal by explicit integration.
(a) Using the law of cosines, show that Eq. 3.17 can be written as follows:
Whereand are the usual spherical polar coordinates, with the axis along the
line through . In this form, it is obvious thaton the sphere, localid="1657372270600" .
(a) Find the induced surface charge on the sphere, as a function of . Integrate this to get the total induced charge . (What should it be?)
(b) Calculate the energy of this configuration.
In Prob. 2.25, you found the potential on the axis of a uniformly charged disk:
(a) Use this, together with the fact that , to evaluate the first three terms
in the expansion (Eq. 3.72) for the potential of the disk at points off the axis, assuming .
(b) Find the potential for by 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 coefficientsare the same in both hemispheres.]
A stationary electric dipole is situated at the origin. A positive
point charge q(mass m) executes circular motion (radius s) at constant speed
in the field of the dipole. Characterize the plane of the orbit. Find the speed, angular momentum and total energy of the charge.
(a) A long metal pipe of square cross-section (side a) is grounded on three sides, while the fourth (which is insulated from the rest) is maintained at constant potential .Find the net charge per unit length on the side oppositeto Vo. [Hint:Use your answer to Prob. 3.15 or Prob. 3.54.]
(b) A long metal pipe of circular cross-section (radius R) is divided (lengthwise)
into four equal sections, three of them grounded and the fourth maintained at
constant potential Vo.Find the net charge per unit length on the section opposite
to .[Answer to both (a) and (b) : localid="1657624161900" .]
