Show that the average field inside a sphere of radius R, due to all the charge within the sphere, is

Eave=-140R3

Where is the total dipole moment. There are several ways to prove this delightfully simple result. Here's one method:

(a) Show that the average field due to a single chargeqat point r inside thesphere is the same as the field at r due to a uniformly charged sphere with

=q/(43R3), namely

140(43R3)qr2rd'

Where r is the vector from r to d

(b) The latter can be found from Gauss's law (see Prob. 2.12). Express the answerin terms of the dipole moment of q.

(c) Use the superposition principle to generalize to an arbitrary charge distribution.

(d) While you're at it, show that the average field over the volume of a sphere, dueto all the charges outside, is the same as the field they produce at the center.

Answer

  1. Eave=Eppis proved.

  2. The expression for the electric filed due to dipole moment E=-40R3.

  3. The individual average electric filed is localid="1655725443659" E=40R3.

  4. The expression for filed at P due to uniformly charged sphere.

E=-140-qr2r

Step by step solution

01

Define functions

Consider the following figure,

The figure shows the sphere, r is the radius of sphere, the point charge inside the sphere.

02

Determine (a)

a)

Write the expression for the average field due to point charge q at a point which is distance r.

Eave=143R3Ed 鈥︹ (1)

Here, R is the radius of the sphere.

Substitute 140q^r2rfor E in equation (1)

Eave=143R3140q^r2rd=143R3140q^r2rd=q43R31401^r2rd=1401^r2rdq43R3=

Solve as further,

Eave=1401^r2rd=140^r2rd=E

Hence, Eave=EPis proved.

03

Determine (b)

b)

Write the expression for the electric filed inside a uniformly charged sphere of the charge density .

E=130^r 鈥︹. (2)

Substitute q43R3for in equation (2).

E=130-q43R3r=-q40R3r=-40R3

Thus, the expression for the electric filed due to dipole moment R=-40R3.

04

Determine (c)

c)

Let鈥檚 consider that, many charges are present inside the sphere.

Then,

Write the expression for sum of the individual average electric field.

Eave=-P40R3

Therefore, the individual average electric field is Eave=-P40R3.

05

Determine (d)

d)

The charge q is placed outside the sphere at r.

Write the expression for the electric field due to charge.

Eave=14043R3r2r

Write the expression for field at P due to uniformly charged sphere.

R=140-qr2r

Hence, average electric filed outside the sphere, due to point charge is equal to electric field is same charge produced at the center of the sphere.

A long cylindrical shell of radius Rcarries a uniform surface charge 0on the upper half and an opposite charge -0on the lower half (Fig. 3.40). Find the electric potential inside and outside the cylinder.

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.)

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.]

Two infinite parallel grounded conducting planes are held a distanceapart. A point chargeqis placed in the region between them, a distance xfromone plate. Find the force on q20Check that your answer is correct for the special

cases aand x=a2.

(a) Show that the quadrupole term in the multipole expansion can be written as

V"quad"(r)=1401r3(i,j=13r^ir^jQij.....(1)

(in the notation of Eq. 1.31) where

localid="1658485520347" Qij=12[3ri'rj'-(r')2ij](r')d'.....(2)

Here

_ij={1ifi=j0ifij.....(3)

is the Kronecker Deltalocalid="1658485013827" (Qij)and is the quadrupole moment of the charge distribution. Notice the hierarchy

The monopole moment localid="1658485018381" (Q) is a scalar, the dipole moment localid="1658485022577" (p鈬赌) is a vector, the quadrupole moment localid="1658485026647" (Qij)is a second rank tensor, and so on.

(b) Find all nine components of localid="1658485030553" (Qij)for the configuration given in Fig. 3.30 (assume the square has side and lies in the localid="1658485034755" x-y plane, centered at the origin).

(c) Show that the quadrupole moment is independent of origin if the monopole and

dipole moments both vanish. (This works all the way up the hierarchy-the

lowest nonzero multipole moment is always independent of origin.)

(d) How would you define the octopole moment? Express the octopole term in the multipole expansion in terms of the octopole moment.
