Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

The angular velocity isÓ¬ .

The magnitude of the dipole is p=2Ï€R.

The charges are+q and -q.

The position of the charges±q=±R(cosӬtx^+sinӬty^) .

02

Determine the formulas to calculate the interaction term in the self-torque and total radiation reaction torque.

The expression for the potential due to osculation dipole along z-axis is given as follows.

role="math" localid="1658821706455" V=-p0Ӭ4πε0crcosθr2sin[Ӭ(t-rc)] …… (1)

The expression for the power radiated is given as follows.

P=∫⟨S⟩⋅da …… (2)

03

Calculate the interaction term in the self-torque.

The dipole moment of an electric dipole is given by,

p=2qr±

The rotating electric dipole can be taken as super position of dipole moments of two oscillating.

The dipole moment can be expressed as,

p=2qR(cosÓ¬tx^+sinÓ¬ty^)

The total charge is divided into two halves separated by the distance; therefore, the radiation reaction force is given by,

Fradend=μ0q226Ï€³¦a·Fradend=μ0q224Ï€³¦a·

The interaction force is given by,

localid="1658821862972" Fradint=μ0q212πca·

The total radiation force is the sum of the radiation force at both the end.

Frad=Fradend+Fradint

Substitute μ0q224πca· for localid="1658821934982" Fradend and μ0q212πca· for Fradintinto above equation.

localid="1658825657309" Frad=μ0q224πca·+μ0q212πca·Frad=μ0q212πca·×32Frad=μ0q26πca·…… (3)

If the total force is F(q)=Fint(q)+2Fq2. The forceFq2is independent of distance then the interaction forceFint(q)part.

From the equation 11.1, the interaction force is given by,

localid="1658822132351" Fint(q)=μ0q212πca· …… (4)

Now compare the equation (3), the interaction term in the self-torque isFradint=μ0q212πca·which is analogous to equation (4).

Hence the interaction term in the self-torque is Fradint=μ0q212πca·.

Calculate the value of x^−rcr^2.

x^−rcr^2=1+x2r2−2x2r2x^−rcr^2=1−x2r2

Similarly,

y^−yrr^2=1−y2r2

a)Find the radiation reaction force on a particle moving with arbitrary velocity in a straight line, by reconstructing the argument in Sect. 11.2.3 without assuming Ï…(tr)=0. [Answer: (μ0q2γ4/6Ï€³¦)(aË™+3γ2a2Ï…/c2)]

(b) Show that this result is consistent (in the sense of Eq. 11.78) with the power radiated by such a particle (Eq. 11.75).

we calculated the energy per unit time radiated by a (non-relativistic) point charge- the Larmor formula. In the same spirit:

(a) Calculate the momentum per unit time radiated.

(b) Calculate the angular momentum per unit time radiated.

A particle of mass m and charge q is attached to a spring with force constant k, hanging from the ceiling (Fig. 11.18). Its equilibrium position is a distance h above the floor. It is pulled down a distance d below equilibrium and released, at timet=0.

(a) Under the usual assumptions (d≪λ≪h), calculate the intensity of the radiation hitting the floor, as a function of the distance R from the point directly below q. [Note: The intensity here is the average power per unit area of floor.]

FIGURE 11.18

At whatR is the radiation most intense? Neglect the radiative damping of the oscillator.

(b) As a check on your formula, assume the floor is of infinite extent, and calculate the average energy per unit time striking the entire floor. Is it what you’d expect?

(c) Because it is losing energy in the form of radiation, the amplitude of the oscillation will gradually decrease. After what timebhas the amplitude been reduced to d/e? (Assume the fraction of the total energy lost in one cycle is very small.)

Find the radiation resistance (Prob. 11.3) for the oscillating magnetic dipole in Fig. 11.8. Express your answer in terms ofλand b , and compare the radiation resistance of the electric dipole. [ Answer: 3×105(bλ)4Ω]
