A "pure" dipoleis situated at the origin, pointing in thezdirection.

(a) What is the force on a point charge q at (a,0,0)(Cartesian coordinates)?

(b) What is the force on q at (0,0,a)?

Answer

  1. The force is F1=-qp4蟺蔚0a3z.

  2. Force is F2=2pq4蟺蔚0a3z.

  3. The work done is W=q40a2.

Step by step solution

01

Define functions

Write the expression for the electric filed due to dipole.

Edipole(r,)=P40r3(2cos^r+sin^) 鈥︹.. (1)

Here, is the dipole moment, r is the distance and r and are the spherical co-ordinates.

Write the expression of the electric force in terms of the charge and electric filed.

role="math" localid="1655730438252" F=qE 鈥︹ (2)

Here, F is the force, q is the charge and E is the electric field.

02

Determine (a)

a)

The dipole is facing along z-direction.

From equation (1),

r=a=2=0

Write the expression for the force on the charge q.

F1qEdipole 鈥︹ (3)

Substitute P40r32cos^r+sin^for localid="1655730630645" Edipolner, in equation (3).

F1=qP40r32cos^r+sin^ 鈥︹ (4)

Substitute afor rand 2for in equation (4)

F1=q40a32cos2r+sin2=q40a3sin2

Simplify the above equation,

F1-q40a3

As the dipole is pointing in the z-direction, so the electric force,

F1-q40a3

Therefore, the force F1-q40a3.

03

Determine the force on q at (0,0,a)

b)

From the equation (1), the electric field due to dipole at 0,0,a.

r=a=0=0

Then,

Write the expression for the force F2on the charge q.

F2=qP4蟺蔚0r32cos^r+sin^ 鈥︹. (5)

Substituteafor rand 0for in equation (5).

F2=qP4蟺蔚0r32cos0r+sin0=q40a32cos0r

As the dipole is pointing in the z-direction, so the electric force,

F2=2q40a3z

Thus, force F2=2q40a3z.

04

4: Determine the work done to move q from (a,0,0) to (0,0,a)

c)

Write the expression for potential due to dipole.

Vr,=cos40a2 鈥︹. (6)

Write the expression for the potential V1 at (0, 0, a) due to dipole.

v2=cos040a2=40a2

Write the expression for the potential v2at a,0,0due to dipole.

V2=cos040a=0a2

Now, calculate work done in moving charge from 0,0,ato a,0,0.

Therefore,

Write the expression for the work done.

W=V2-V1q 鈥︹. (7)

Substitute 0 for V1and 40a2for V2in equation (7).

W=40a2-0q=q40a2

Therefore, the work done is =q40a2.

Most popular questions from this chapter

A circular ring in thexy plane (radius R , centered at the origin) carries a uniform line charge . Find the first three terms(n=0,1,2) in the multi pole expansion for V(r,).

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.)

Here's an alternative derivation of Eq. 3.10 (the surface charge density

induced on a grounded conducted plane by a point charge qa distance dabove

the plane). This approach (which generalizes to many other problems) does not

rely on the method of images. The total field is due in part to q,and in part to the

induced surface charge. Write down the zcomponents of these fields-in terms of

qand the as-yet-unknown (x,y)-just below the surface. The sum must be zero,

of course, because this is inside a conductor. Use that to determine .

In Ex. 3.9, we derived the exact potential for a spherical shell of radius R , which carries a surface charge =kcos.

(a) Calculate the dipole moment of this charge distribution.

(b) Find the approximate potential, at points far from the sphere, and compare the exact answer (Eq. 3.87). What can you conclude about the higher multipoles?

Three point charges are located as shown in Fig. 3.38, each a distance

afrom the origin. Find the approximate electric field at points far from the origin.

Express your answer in spherical coordinates, and include the two lowest orders in the multi-pole expansion.
