A stationary electric dipole p鈬赌=pz^is situated at the origin. A positive

point charge q(mass m) executes circular motion (radius s) at constant speed

in the field of the dipole. Characterize the plane of the orbit. Find the speed, angular momentum and total energy of the charge.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The velocity of the charged particle executing circular motion under the influence of a dipole at origin having dipole moment p鈬赌=pz^is 1sqp33蟺蔚0m. Its qp33蟺蔚0angular momentum is and its energy is zero.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The dipole moment of the dipole situated at the origin is p鈬赌=pz^.

A charged particle of mass m, charge q performs circular motion of radius r .

Velocity, angular momentum and energy of a charged particle under the influence of a dipole

From symmetry, the electric field has to be perpendicular to the z axis. Thus from equation (1),

E.z^=03p鈬赌.r^r^.z^-p鈬赌.z^=03cos2-1=0cos=-13

Thus,

sin=1-cos2=23tan=sincos=-2

Substitute the expressions of sin, cosand unit vectors from equation (3) and (4) into equation (2),

E鈬赌=p4蟺蔚0r323-2sincosx^+sinsiny^+cosz^+coscosx^+cossiny^+sinz^=p4蟺蔚0r323-223-13cosx^+siny^=-2ps^4蟺蔚0r3

But,

r=ssin

Thus,

E鈬赌=-ps^33蟺蔚0s3

Equate the electric force to the centripetal force for circular motion,

qp33蟺蔚0s3=mv2sv=1sqp33蟺蔚0m

Thus, the velocity of the charged particle is 1sqp33蟺蔚0m.

The expression for the angular momentum is

L = smv

Substitute the expression for and get

localid="1657691428418" L=sm1sqp33蟺蔚0m=qpm33蟺蔚0

Thus, the angular momentum of the charge is =qpm33蟺蔚0.

The expression for the energy is

E=12mv2+qV

Here, V is the electric potential given by

V=pcos4蟺蔚0r2=p4蟺蔚033/2s2

Substitute the expression for and get

E=12m1s2qp33蟺蔚0m+qp4蟺蔚033/2s2

= 0

Thus, the energy of the charged particle is zero.
