Step by step solution

01

Define function

Write the expression for potential at a distance r,

V(r,θ)=14πε0∑n=0∞Pn(³¦´Ç²õθ)rn+1∫-a+aznλ(z)dZ …… (1)

This is for an insulating rod running from z=-a to z=+a.

02

Determine λ=K cos(πz/2a)

a)

Consider the integral, from equation (1),

In=∫-a+aZnλzdZ=∫-a+aZnKcosÏ€³ú/2adZIfn=0,thenI0=K∫-a+aZ0KcosÏ€³ú/2adZI0=2aÏ€sinÏ€³ú2a-a+a=2aKÏ€sinÏ€2-sin-Ï€2=4aKÏ€Ifputn=0,thenpotentialduetoamonopole,vr,θ=14πε0P0³¦´Ç²õθr0+14aKÏ€Thus,potentialduetomonopole,vr,0=14πε04aKÏ€1r

03

Determine λ=k sin (πz/a)

b)Considertheintegralpart,In=∫-a+aznλzdzIn=∫-a+aznKsinÏ€³úadZIfn=0,thenI0=∫-a+az0KsinÏ€³úadZ=-aÏ€cosÏ€³úa-a+a=0Ifn=1,thenI1=∫-a+az1KsinÏ€³úadZUsingintegrationbypartsmethod,I1=KaÏ€2sinÏ€2a-aZÏ€cosÏ€´Üa-a+a=KaÏ€2sinÏ€-sin-Ï€=KaÏ€2sinÏ€-sin-Ï€-a2Ï€³¦´Ç²õÏ€-a2Ï€cos-Ï€=K0+a2Ï€+a2Ï€I1=2ka2Ï€Ifn=1,potentialduetoadipolethen,Vr,θ=14πε02a2KÏ€1r2³¦´Ç²õθ

04

Determine λ=K cos(πz/a)

c)

Put n=0 in potential function,

I0=∫-a+aZ0KcosÏ€³úadZI0=KaÏ€sinÏ€³úa-a+a=KaÏ€²õ¾±²ÔÏ€-sin-Ï€=0

Put n=1 ,

I1=∫-a+azcosÏ€³úadZ

By integration by parts,

I1=ZaÏ€sinÏ€´Üa-a+a-aπ∫-a+asinÏ€´ÜadZ=a2Ï€²õ¾±²ÔÏ€+a2Ï€sin-Ï€+aÏ€2cosÏ€³úa-a+a=0+aÏ€2³¦´Ç²õÏ€-cos-Ï€=0putn=2,I2=K∫-a+aZ2cosÏ€´ÜadZ=K2zcosÏ€³ú/aÏ€/a2+Ï€³ú/a2-2sinÏ€³ú/aÏ€/a3-a+a=2KaÏ€2acosÏ€+cos-Ï€I2=-4Ka3Ï€2

Then put n=2 , get the potential due to Quadra pole

Vr,θ=14πε01r3P2³¦´Ç²õθI2=14πε01r33cos2θ-12-4a3KÏ€2Therefore,ThepotentialduetoQuadrapoleis14πε01r33cos2θ-12-4a3KÏ€2

Most popular questions from this chapter

Four particles (one of charge q,one of charge 3q,and two of charge -2q)are placed as shown in Fig. 3.31, each a distance from the origin. Find a

simple approximate formula for the potential, valid at points far from the origin.

(Express your answer in spherical coordinates.)

A more elegant proof of the second uniqueness theorem uses Green's

identity (Prob. 1.61c), with T=U=V3. Supply the details.

Buckminsterfullerine is a molecule of 60 carbon atoms arranged

like the stitching on a soccer-ball. It may be approximated as a conducting spherical shell of radius R=3.5A°. A nearby electron would be attracted, according to Prob. 3.9, so it is not surprising that the ion C60-exists. (Imagine that the electron on average-smears itself out uniformly over the surface.) But how about a second electron? At large distances it would be repelled by the ion, obviously, but at a certain distance r (from the center), the net force is zero, and closer than this it would be attracted. So an electron with enough energy to get in that close should bind.

(a) Find r, in A°. [You'll have to do it numerically.]

(b) How much energy (in electron volts) would it take to push an electron in (from

infinity) to the point r? [Incidentally, the C60-ion has been observed.]

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).

A uniform line charge λis placed on an infinite straight wire, a distanced above a grounded conducting plane. (Let's say the wire runs parallel to the x-axis and directly above it, and the conducting plane is the xyplane.)

  1. Find the potential in the region above the plane. [Hint: Refer to Prob. 2.52.]
  2. Find the charge density σ induced on the conducting plane.
