into four equal sections, three of them grounded and the fourth maintained at

constant potential Vo.Find the net charge per unit length on the section opposite

to V0.[Answer to both (a) and (b) : localid="1657624161900" -0V0蟿蟿In2.]

(a) The charge per unit length on the insulated side of a square pipe having side length a is -0V0蟿蟿In2.

(b) The charge per unit length on the insulated side of a cylindrical pipe having radius R is -0V0蟿蟿In2.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The side length of the long square metal pipe is a.

The potential on one side is V0and the other three sides are zero potential.

V(y=0)=0.....(1)V(y=a)=V0.......(2)V(x=a/2)=0......(3)V(x=-a/2)......(4)

The boundary conditions for the square pipe are

VR,-p4<f<p4=0....(5)VRf>p4=0.......(6)

02

Potential of a square pipe, cylindrical pipe and the surface charge density

The potential inside the rectangular pipe of sides a, b with V0potential at and zero potential on the other boundaries is

localid="1657628313896" V0[ya+2(-1)nncosh(nxa)sin(nxa)cosh(nxa)].....(7)

The surface charge density as a function of x is given by

(x)=-0Vyy=0.....(8)

The general solution for the potential function in cylindrical coordinates is

V(r,f)=a0+b0Inr+k=1(akrk+bkr-k)[ckcos(kf)+dksin(kf)]....(9)

03

Charge per unit length at the boundary of square pipe

Equation (7) for b = a/2 reduces to

V0[ya+2蟿蟿(-1)nncosh(苍蟿蟿虫a)sin(苍蟿蟿虫a)cosh(苍蟿蟿虫a)].....(7)

The surface charge density in accordance with equation (8) is as follows

(x)=-0V0V0[ya+2蟿蟿nna(-1)ncosh(苍蟿蟿虫a)cos(苍蟿蟿ya)ncosh(苍蟿蟿虫a)]=0=-0V0a1+2n(-1)ncosh(苍蟿蟿虫a)cosh(n2)

The charge per unit length is

=-a2a2(x)dx=-0V0a-a2a21+2n(-1)ncosh(苍蟿蟿虫a)cosh(n2)dx=-0V0aa+2n(-1)ncoshn2-a2a2coshn蟺虫a=-0V0aa+4n(-1)ntanhn2n

This can be numerically solved to

=-0V0In2

04

Charge per unit length at the boundary of cylindrical pipe

From equation (9), for potential inside the pipe, b0and bkmust be zero, otherwise the potential will blow up at r = 0. The configuration is symmetric in , hence dk=0. Absorption of ckinto akreduces equation (3) to

V(r,)=a0+k-1akrkcos(k)

Apply Fourier trick on the boundary equation to get

k=0akRk-cos(k)cos(k')d=V0-/4/4cos(k')d=V0K'sinK'4ifK'0V02ifK'=0

Also

-cos(k)cos(k')d2k=K'=0k=K'0

Use these two solutions to get

a0=V04ak=2V0蟺办搁ksink4

The potential function thus becomes

V(r,)=V014+2k=1sin(k/4)krkkcos(k)

To find the line charge, first differentiate with respect to r, integrate with respect to and finally put the limit rR.

role="math" localid="1657688183512" =0Vr=20V0蟺搁k=1sin(k/4)kkrRk-1cos(k)=20V0蟺搁k=1rRk-1sin(k/4)cos(k)

The line charge on the opposite wall to that with potential V0is

=234Rd=23420V0蟺搁k=1rRk-1sin(k/4)cos(k)Rd=40V0k=1rRk-1sin(k/4)34cos(k)d=-40V0k=1rRk-1sin(k/4)34sin(3k/4)

This can be expanded in terms of x = r/ R as

=-40V012xx+x33+x35+....-1xx22+x66+x1010+...=-20V0蟺虫12In1+x1-x-12In1+x21-x2=-0V0蟺虫In1+x1-x1+x21-x2=-0V0蟺虫In(1+x2)1-x2

Thus, the charge for the limit rR(x1)is

x1=-0V0In(1+1)21+12=-0V0In2
