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.]

Answer

  1. The first three terms in the expansion for the potential r>Ris R24021-R28r23cos2-1+.......

  2. The first three terms in the expansion for the potential r<Ris

40R+rcos+r28R3cos2-1+.......

Step by step solution

01

Define functions

Write the expression for the potential outside the disk in spherical polar co-ordinates.

V(r,)=I=0BIrI=1PI(cos) forr>R 鈥︹ (1)

Given that, the potential on the axis is,

role="math" localid="1655811849704" V(r,0)=20(r2+R2-r) 鈥︹ (2)

02

Determine part (a)

a)

From the equation (1)

Vr,=I=0BIrI=1PIcos=I=0BIrI=1PI1Vr,=I=0BIrI=1

Then, I=0BIrI=1=20r2+R2-r

As, r>Rfor this region

r2+R2=r1+R2r212=r1+12R2r2-18R4r4+......

This is done by x+112.

r2+R2=1+12x-123x2+......I=0BII=1=201+12R2r2-18R4r4+......-1=20R22r-18R4r3+.......

鈥︹. (3)

Substitute I=0in equation (3), then

B0=R240BI=0B2=R4160

Now,

Vr,=R240r-R4160r3-P2cos+......=R240r1r-R24r3P2cos+......=R240r1-R28r23cos2-1+......

Hence, the first three terms in the expansion for the potential r>Ris =R240r1-R28r23cos2-1+.......

03

Determine the potential

b)

For r<R

Vr,=I=0AIrIPIcosVr,=I=0AIrI 鈥︹ (4)

Then, I=0AIrI=20r2+R2-r

As, r<Rfor this region

r2+R2=R1+r2R2=R1+R2r212=R1+12r2R2-18r4R4+......=R+12r2R-18r4R3+......I=0AIrI=20R+12r2R-18r4R3+......-r

Comparing powers of r,

A0=R20AI=-2I0A2=40R

Then,

Vr,=20R-rPIcos+r22RP2cos+......=20R-rcos+r28R3cos2-1+......

For southern hemisphere,

PI-1=-1IVr,=I=0-1IAIrI=20r2+R2-r

Then,

I=0-1IAI'rI=20R+12r2R-18r4R3+......-r

Comparing powers of,

A0'=R20A1'=20A1'=20R

Then, Write the expression for Vr,for r<Rfor southern hemisphere.

Vr,=20R+rPIcos+r22RP2cos+......=20R+rcos+r28R3cos2-1+......

Thus, the first three terms in the expansion for the potential r<Ris

=20R+rcos+r28R3cos2-1+.......

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

V(r,)=14蟺蔚0[qr2+a22racosqR2+(ra/R)22racos]

Whererand are the usual spherical polar coordinates, with the zaxis along the

line through q. In this form, it is obvious thatV=0on the sphere, localid="1657372270600" r=R.

(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.

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.]

In one sentence, justify Earnshaw's Theorem: A charged particle cannot be held in a stable equilibrium by electrostatic forces alone. As an example, consider the cubical arrangement of fixed charges in Fig. 3.4. It looks, off hand, as though a positive charge at the center would be suspended in midair, since it is repelled away from each comer. Where is the leak in this "electrostatic bottle"? [To harness nuclear fusion as a practical energy source it is necessary to heat a plasma (soup of charged particles) to fantastic temperatures-so hot that contact would vaporize any ordinary pot. Earnshaw's theorem says that electrostatic containment is also out of the question. Fortunately, it is possible to confine a hot plasma magnetically.]

A sphere of radiusR,centered at the origin, carries charge density

(r,)=kRr2(R-2r)sin

where k is a constant, and r, are the usual spherical coordinates. Find the approximate potential for points on the z axis, far from the sphere.

Use Green's reciprocity theorem (Prob. 3.50) to solve the following

two problems. [Hint:for distribution 1, use the actual situation; for distribution 2,

removeq,and set one of the conductors at potential V0.]

(a) Both plates of a parallel-plate capacitor are grounded, and a point charge qis

placed between them at a distance xfrom plate 1. The plate separation is d. Find the induced charge on each plate. [Answer: Q1=q(xd-1);Q1=qx/d]

(b) Two concentric spherical conducting shells (radii aand b)are grounded, and a point charge is placed between them (at radius r). Find the induced charge on each sphere.
