Answer

The potential inside the infinite cylinder of radius R having surface charge density ()=asin(5)100R4is asin5100s5R4. The potential outside the cylinder is asin5100R6s5.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

A Charge density()=asin(5) (where a is a constant) is glued over the surface of an infinite cylinder of radius R.

02

Potential inside and outside a cylinder

In cylindrical coordinates, the potential inside a cylinder is

Vin=a0+k=1sk(akcosk+bksink).....(1)

Here,,andare constants.

In cylindrical coordinates, the potential outside a cylinder is

Vout=a0+k=1s-k(ck肠辞蝉办蠒+dk蝉颈苍办蠒).....(2)

Here, a0, ckand dkare constants.

03

Potential inside and outside cylinder for σ(ϕ)=asin(5ϕ) on the surface

The surface charge on the cylinder is

=-0(Vouts-Vins)sr

Here, 0is the permittivity of free space.

Substitute in the above equation from equations (1) and (2)

asin(5)=-0[sa0+k=1skakcosk+bksink-sa0+k=1s-kckcosk+dksink]s=R=-0k=1[-kR-k-1ckcoskksink-kRk-1akcosk+bksink]

Compare both sides to get

ak=0ck=0bk=0(k5)dk=0(k5)a=50(d5R6+R4b5).....(3)

Put these back in equations (1) and (2) to get

Vin=a0+s5b5sin5Vout=a0+s-5d5sin5

Also, the potential has to be continuous at the surface, that is,

Vins=R=Vouts=Ra0+R5b5sin5=a0+R-5d5sin5

Compare the two sides and get

a0=a0

Both of these can be chosen to be zero

R5b5=R-5d5.....(4)

From equations (3) and (4),

b5=a100R4d5=aR100

Thus, the potential is

Vin=asin5100s5R4Vout=asin5100R6s5.
