Two point charges, 3q and -q, are separated by a distance a. For each of the arrangements in Fig. 3.35, find (i) the monopole moment, (ii) the dipole moment, and (iii) the approximate potential (in spherical coordinates) at large r (include both the monopole and dipole contributions).

Answer

  1. The total potential at a distance r including monopole term is 440[2qr+3qacosr2].

  2. The total potential at a distance r including monopole term is 440[2qr+qacosr2].

  3. The total potential at a distance r including monopole term is 4sin40[2qr+3qasinr2].

Step by step solution

01

Given data

a)

From the above figure,

Monopole moment

Q=3q=2q

Dipole moment

p=3qaz+-q0p=3qaz

02

Determine monopole moment

Write the expression for total potential at a distanceincluding monopole term.

Vr=VmQnQ+Vdipole=14蟺蔚0Qr+140p^rr2=1402qr+3qacosr2

Here, p^r=3qacos

Therefore, the total potential at a distance r including monopole term is 1402qr+3qacosr2.

03

Determine dipole moment

b)

From the above figure,

Monopole moment

Q=2q

Dipole moment

p=-qa-^z=qaz

Write the expression for total potential at a distance r including monopole term.

Vr=Vmono+Vdipole=14蟺蔚0Qr+140^rr2

Substitute 2qfor Q and 3qacosfor p^r.

Vr=1402qr+3qacosr2

Therefore, the total potential at a distance rincluding monopole term is

1402qr+3qacosr2.

04

Determine potential

c)

From the above figure,

Monopole moment

Q=2q

Dipole moment

p=3qay^

Write the expression for total potential at a distance r including monopole term.

Vr=Vmono+Vdipole=140Qr+140pr^r2=1402qr+3qasinsinr2

Therefore, the total potential at a distance r including monopole term is

1402qr+3qasinsinr2

As,

r^=sincosx^+sinsiny^+cosz^

Then,

y^r^=sinsin.

(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.]

For the dipole in Ex. 3.10, expand1/r to order d/r3,and use this

to determine the quadrupole and octo-pole terms in the potential.

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.]

Find the potential outside an infinitely long metal pipe, of radius R, placed at right angles to an otherwise uniform electric field E0. Find the surface charge induced on the pipe. [Use your result from Prob. 3.24.]
