(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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The potential is zero, when r=R.

(b) The induces charge surface is q1.

(c) The energy of this configuration is q2R8蟺蔚0a2R2.

Step by step solution

01

Define functions

Write the expression for potential using law of cosines.

痴(谤,胃)=140[qr2+a22racosqR2+(ra/R)22racos] 鈥︹ (1)

Here, role="math" localid="1657372493931" rand are the spherical polar coordinates, role="math" localid="1657372543438" qis the charge, 0is the permittivity for the free space and Ris the radius of the sphere.

02

Determine (a)

a) From the figure given below we can write the equation as,

()=0q4蟺蔚012r2+a22racos32(2r2acos)+12R2+raR22racos32a2R22r2acosr=R鈥︹ (2)

Write the equation for r

r=r2+a22racos

r1=r2+b22rbcos

As we know that,

b=R2a

q1=Raq 鈥︹. (3)

q1r1=Raqr1

Substitute r2+b22rbcosfor r1in equation (3).

q1r1=Raqr2+b22rbcos 鈥︹ (4)

Now, write the expression for the potential for this configuration.

V(r)=14蟺蔚0qr+q1r1鈥︹. (5)

Substitute r2+a22racosfor r,r2+b22rbcosforr1andRaqforq1

V(r)=14蟺蔚0qr2+a22racos+aqr2+b22rbcos 鈥︹赌(6)

Substitute R2afor b.

V(r)=14蟺蔚0qr2+a22racos+Raqr2+R2a22rR2acos

V(r)q4蟺蔚01r2+a22racos1aRr2+R2a22rR2acos

V(r)=q4蟺蔚01r2+a22racos1aR2r2+aR2R2a22raR2R2acos

V(r)=q4蟺蔚01r2+a22racos1aR2r2+(R)22racos

Rearranging the statement,

V(r)=q4蟺蔚01r2+a22racos1R2+arR22racos

The potential is zero, when r=R.

V(r)=14蟺蔚0qr2+a22racos0+Raqr2+b22rbcos0 鈥︹ (7)

=0

Hence, the potential is zero, when r=R.

03

Determine (b)

b)

Write the expression for the induced surface charge density.

()=0Vo^n 鈥︹. (8)

But Vn=Vrat r=R

Substitute q4蟺蔚01r2+a22racos1R2+arR22racos for V,

()=0nq4蟺蔚01r2+a22racos1R2+arR22racos

=0q4蟺蔚012r2+a22racos32(2r2acos)+12R2+raR22racos32a2R22r2acosrR

=q4R2+a22Racos32(Racos)+R2+a22Racos32a2Racos

Write induced surface charge formula.

qirvi=蟽诲补 鈥︹ (9)

Substitute q4蟺搁R2+a22Racos32R2a2for in equation (9).

qin=020q4蟺搁R2+a22Racos32R2a2R2sin胃诲胃诲蠒

=q4蟺搁R2a22蟺搁202R2+a22Racos32sin胃诲胃

=q4蟺搁R2a22蟺搁21RaR2+a22Racos120

=q2aR2a2(1)R2+a22Racos()R2+a22Racos(0)12

Further solving,

qin=q2aR2a2(1)R2+a22Ra(1)R2+a22Ra(1)12

=q2aa2R2R2+a2+2RaR2+a22Ra12

=q2aa2R21R2+a2+2Ra1R2+a22Ra 鈥︹ (10)

Fora>R ,

R2+a22Ra=(arR)2

=a-R

Substitute a-Rfor R2+a22Raand a+Rfor R2+a2+2Ra in equation (10).

Therefore,

qin=q2aa2R21a+R1aR

=q2a(a+R)(aR)1a+R1aR

=q2a(a+R)(aR)aR(a+R)(aR)aR

=q2a(aR)(a+R)

Solve as further,

qin=q2a(2R)

=qaR

=q1

Hence, the induced surface charge is q1.

04

Determine (c)

c)

Write the expression for the force of image charge q1on q.

F=14蟺蔚0qq1(ab)2鈥︹ (11)

Substitute Raqfor q1and R2afor bin equation (11).

F=14蟺蔚0qRaqaR2a2

=14蟺锄0q2Raa2R22

Thus, the force of image charge q1on qis 14蟺蔚0q2Raa2R22.

Write the expression for work done.

W=aAFda 鈥︹ (12)

Substitute 14蟺蔚0q2Raa2R22for Fin equation (12)

W=aa14蟺蔚0q2Raa2R22da

=q2R4蟺蔚012a2R2a

=a2R8蟺蔚0a2R2

Therefore, the energy of this configuration isa2R8蟺蔚0a2R2
