(a) The scalar and vector potentialsVtot=−p0Ӭ2d4πε0c2rcos2θcos[Ӭ(t−rc)] and Atot=−μ0p0Ӭ2d4πcrcosθcos[Ӭ(t−rc)]z^

(b) The electric and magnetic fields are E=−αӬcrcosθsinθ[sinӬ(t−rc)]θ^ and B=−αӬc2rsinθcosθsin[Ӭ(t−rc)]ϕ^

(c) The pointing vector and the power radiated are S={−αӬcrcosθsinθ[sinӬ(t−rc)]}2μ0cr^and P=μ060πc3(p0d)2Ӭ6

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question

Total scalar potential of two oppositely oriented electric dipoles is given from the section 11.1.2.

V±=∓p0Ӭ4πε0c(cosθ±r±)sin[Ӭ(t−r±c)] …………. (1)

Total vector potential of two oppositely oriented electric dipoles is given from the section 11.1.2.

A±=∓μ0p0Ӭ4πr±sin[Ӭ(t−r±c)]z^

The electric field is given from the section 11.1.2.

E=−∇V−∂A∂t ……….…… (3)

02

Determine the formulas to calculate the scalar and vector potential.

The law of cosines is given as follows:

r±=r2+(d2)2+2r(d2)cosθ……….…… (4)

Here, is the distance.

03

Step 3:Find the scalar and vector potentials

(a)

Apply the law of cosines in the given figure.

r±=r2+(d2)2+2r(d2)cosθ≅r1∓(dr)cosθ≅r(1∓(dr)cosθ)12≅r(1∓d2rcosθ)

It follows that

1r±=1r(1∓d2rcosθ)1r±=1r(1∓d2rcosθ)−11r±=1r(1±d2rcosθ) …………. (5)

Now, the angle is

cosθ±=rcos∓(d2)r±

Now substitute the value of 1r±=1r(1±d2rcosθ).

role="math" localid="1658756836865" cosθ±=1r±(rcosθ∓(d2))=1r(1±d2rcosθ)(rcosθ∓d2r)=(cosθ∓d2r)(1±d2rcosθ)=cosθ±d2rcos2θ∓d2r

Solve further as

cosθ±=cosθ∓d2r(1−cos2θ)=cosθ∓d2rsin2θ

Let us take

sin[Ӭ(t−r±c)]

Substitute the value of r±=r(1∓d2rcosθ).

sin[Ӭ(t−r(1∓d2rcosθ)c)]=sin[Ӭ(t−rc(1∓d2rcosθ))]=sin{Ӭ[t−rc±d2ccosθ]}=sin{Ӭ[(t−rc)±d2ccosθ]} ….… (6)

Put t0=t−rcin the equation (6).

sin{Ӭ[(t−rc)±d2ccosθ]}=sin{Ӭ[t0±d2ccosθ]}=sin[Ӭt0±Ӭd2ccosθ]=sin(Ӭt0)cos(Ӭd2ccosθ)±cos(Ӭt0)sin(Ӭd2ccosθ)=sin(Ӭt0)±Ӭd2ccosθcos(Ӭt0)… (7)

Substituting all these values in the equation (1)

V±=∓p0Ӭ4πε0c(cosθ±r±)sin[Ӭ(t−r±c)]V±=∓p0Ӭ4πε0c[(cosθ∓d2rsin2θ)1r(1±d2rcosθ)][sin(Ӭ0t)±Ӭd2ccosθcos(Ӭt0)]V±=∓p0Ӭ4πε0cr[(cosθ∓d2rsin2θ)(1±d2rcosθ)][sin(Ӭ0t)±Ӭd2ccosθcos(Ӭt0)]V±=∓p0Ӭ4πε0cr[(cosθ±d2rcos2θ∓d2rsin2θ)][sin(Ӭ0t)±Ӭd2ccosθcos(Ӭt0)]

Further solved as

V±≅∓p0Ӭ4πε0cr(cosθsin(Ӭ0t)±Ӭd2ccos2θcos(Ӭt0)±d2rcos2θsin(Ӭ0t)∓d2rsin2θsin(Ӭ0t))V±=∓p0Ӭ4πε0cr(cosθsin(Ӭ0t)±Ӭd2ccos2θcos(Ӭt0)±d2r(cos2θ−sin2θ)sin(Ӭ0t))

Therefore, the expression for the total voltage is derived as

Vtot=V++V−Vtot=−p0Ӭ4πε0cr[Ӭdccos2θcos(Ӭ0t)+dr(cos2θ−sin2θ)sin(Ӭt0)]Vtot=−p0Ӭ4πε0cr×Ӭdc[cos2θcos(Ӭ0t)+cӬddr(cos2θ−sin2θ)sin(Ӭt0)]Vtot=−p0Ӭ2d4πε0c2r[cos2θcos(Ӭ0t)+cӬr(cos2θ−sin2θ)sin(Ӭt0)]

In the radiation zone r>>Ó¬cthen the second term in the above square bracket can be neglected then the above equation becomes

Vtot=−p0Ӭ2d4πε0c2rcos2θcos(Ӭt0) ………. (8)

Now, put t0=t−rcin the equation (8).

Vtot=−p0Ӭ2d4πε0c2rcos2θcos[Ӭ(t−rc)]

Hence, the scalar potential is Vtot=−p0Ӭ2d4πε0c2rcos2θcos[Ӭ(t−rc)].

Now calculate the vector potential from equation (2).

A±=∓μ0p0Ӭ4πr±sin[Ӭ(t−r±c)]z^

Substitute equation (5) and (7) in equation (2).

A±=∓μ0p0Ӭ4π×{1r(1±d2rcosθ)[sin(Ӭt0)±Ӭd2ccosθcos(Ӭt0)]}A±=∓μ0p0Ӭ4πr[sin(Ӭt0)±Ӭd2ccosθcos(Ӭt0)±d2rcosθsin(Ӭt0)]z^

Hence, the total scalar potential is

Atot=A++A−Atot=∓μ0p0Ӭ4πr[Ӭdccosθcos(Ӭt0)±drcosθsin(Ӭt0)]z^Atot=∓μ0p0Ӭ24πcr[cosθcos(Ӭt0)±crӬcosθsin(Ӭt0)]z^

In the radiation zone r>>Ó¬cthen the second term in the above square bracket can be neglected then the above equation becomes

Atot=−μ0p0Ӭ2d4πcrcosθcos(Ӭt0)z^Atot=−μ0p0Ӭ2d4πcrcosθcos[Ӭ(t−rc)]z^

Hence, the total vector potential is Atot=−μ0p0Ӭ2d4πcrcosθcos[Ӭ(t−rc)]z^.

04

Determine the electric and magnetic field

(b)

Consider the expression for the total voltage drop as

Vtot=−p0Ӭ2d4πε0c2rcos2θcos[Ӭ(t−rc)]

As we know

c=1μ0ε0

where ε0is the vacuum permittivity and μ0 is the vacuum permeability.

Vtot=−p0Ӭ2d4πε0(1μ0ε0)rcos2θcos[Ӭ(t−rc)]Vtot=−μ0p0Ӭ2d4πrcos2θcos[Ӭ(t−rc)]

Let us consider α=−μ0p0Ӭ2d4π; then the above equation become

Vtot=αrcos2θcos[Ӭ(t−rc)]Vtot=αcos2θrcos[Ӭ(t−rc)]

Now vector potential in the co-ordinate form

∇V=∂Vtot∂rr^+1r∂Vtot∂θθ^ ………. (9)

Put Vtot=αcos2θrcos[Ӭ(t−rc)] in the equation (9).

∇V=∂[αcos2θrcos[Ӭ(t−rc)]]∂rr^+1r∂[αcos2θrcos[Ӭ(t−rc)]]∂θθ^∇V=αcos2θ∂∂r[1rcos[Ӭ(t−rc)]]r^+1rαrcos[Ӭ(t−rc)]∂∂θ[cos2θ]θ^∇V={αcos2θ{−1r2cos[Ӭ(t−rc)]+1r[−sin(Ӭ(t−rc))(−Ӭc)]}+αr2cos[Ӭ(t−rc)](−2cosθsinθ)θ^}∇V={αcos2θ{−1r2cos[Ӭ(t−rc)]+Ӭrc[sin(Ӭ(t−rc))]}+αr2cos[Ӭ(t−rc)](−2cosθsinθ)θ^}

In the radiation zone

ΔV=αcos2θӬrc[sin(Ӭ(t−rc))]r^ΔV=αӬccos2θr[sin(Ӭ(t−rc))]r^ ……… (10)

Since

A=αccosθrcos[Ӭ(t−rc)](cosθr^−sinθθ^)

Differentiate the equation with respect to time .

∂A∂t=∂∂t{αccosθrcos[Ӭ(t−rc)](cosθr^−sinθθ^)}∂A∂t=αccosθr{−sin[Ӭ(t−rc)(Ӭ)](cosθr^−sinθθ^)}∂A∂t=−αӬccosθrsin[Ӭ(t−rc)(Ӭ)](cosθr^−sinθθ^)

From equation (3)

E=−∇V−∂A∂t ……… (11)

Put the value of ΔV and ∂A∂tin equation (11).

E=−αӬccos2θr[sin(Ӭ(t−rc))]r^+αӬccosθrsin[Ӭ(t−rc)(Ӭ)](cosθr^−sinθθ^)E=αӬccosθr[sinӬ(t−rc)](cosθr^−sinθθ^)−αӬccos2θrsin[Ӭ(t−rc)]r^E=αӬccosθr[sinӬ(t−rc)][cosθr^−sinθθ^−cosθr^]E=αӬccosθr[sinӬ(t−rc)][−sinθθ^]

Further solve as

E=αӬccosθsinθr[sinӬ(t−rc)]θ^E=−αӬcrcosθsinθ[sinӬ(t−rc)]θ^ ……… (12)

Thus, the electric field is .E=−αӬcrcosθsinθ[sinӬ(t−rc)]θ^

The magnetic field is given by

B=∇×AB=1r[∂∂r(rA0)−∂Ar∂θ]ϕ^B=αcr{∂∂r[cosθcos(Ӭ(t−rc))(−sinθ)]−∂∂θcos2θrcos(Ӭ(t−rc))}ϕ^B=αcr{(−sinθcosθ)[−sin(Ӭ(t−rc))](−Ӭc)−∂∂θcos2θrcos(Ӭ(t−rc))}ϕ^

Further solved as

B=αcr{(−sinθcosθ)Ӭcsin(Ӭ(t−rc))−∂∂θcos2θrcos(Ӭ(t−rc))}ϕ^

Consider the radiation zone.

B=αcr(−sinθcosθ)Ӭcsin[Ӭ(t−rc)]ϕ^B=−αӬc2rsinθcosθsin[Ӭ(t−rc)]ϕ^

Thus, the magnetic field is .B=−αӬc2rsinθcosθsin[Ӭ(t−rc)]ϕ^

05

Step 5:Find the pointing vector and the power radiated

(c)

Consider the formula for the magnetic field as

B=1c(r^×E)

Here, Eâ‹…r^=0.

Then, the pointing vector is given as

S=1μ0(E×B)S=1μ0[E×1c(r^×E)]S=1μ0c[E×(r^×E)]S=1μ0c(E2r^−(E.r^)E)

Substitute E.r^=0 in the above expression.

S=1μ0c[E2r^−(0)E]S=E2μ0cr^

Substitute equation (12) in the expression.

S={−αӬcrcosθsinθ[sinӬ(t−rc)]}2μ0cr^

Thus, the pointing vector is

S={−αӬcrcosθsinθ[sinӬ(t−rc)]}2μ0cr^

The power radiated is given as

P=∫⟨S⟩.da=1μ0c(αӬc)2∫sin2θcos2θsinθdθdϕ=12μ0c(αӬc)2(2π)∫0π(1−cos2θ)cos2θsinθdθ

Letu=cosθ; then du=−sinθdθ.

Upper limit is θ=π; then

u=cosπu=−1

Lower limit is θ=0; then

u=cos0u=1

Therefore

∫1−1(1−u2)u2(−du)=∫−11(1−u2)u2(du)=∫−11(u2−u4)(du)=∫−11u2(du)−∫−11u4(du)

Now integrate the expression

∫−11u2(du)−∫−11u4(du)=[u33]+1−1−[u55]−1+1=[13−(−13)]−[15−(−15)]=23−25=415

Now, power radiated is

P=12μ0cӬ2c(2π)(415)P=12μ0cӬ2c(2π)(415)α2

Since α=−μ0p0Ӭ2d4π, then the above equation becomes

P=12μ0cӬ2c(2π)(415)[−μ0p0Ӭ2d4π]2=12μ0cӬ2c(2π)(415)μ02p02Ӭ4d216π2=μ060πc3(p0d)2Ӭ6

Thus, the power radiated is P=μ060πc3(p0d)2Ӭ6.

Question: In Ex. 11.3 we assumed the velocity and acceleration were (instantaneously,

at least) collinear. Carry out the same analysis for the case where they are

perpendicular. Choose your axes so that v lies along the z axis and a along the x axis

direction (Fig. 11.15). The most important application of these formulas is to circular motion-in this case the radiation is called synchrotron radiation. For a relativistic electron, the radiation sweeps around like a locomotive's headlight as the particle moves.]

A positive charge q is fired head-on at a distant positive charge Q (which is held stationary), with an initial velocityv0 . It comes in, decelerates to v=0, and returns out to infinity. What fraction of its initial energy(12mv02) is radiated away? Assume v0≪c, and that you can safely ignore the effect of radiative losses on the motion of the particle. [ Answer (1645)(qQ)(v0c)3. ]

In Bohr’s theory of hydrogen, the electron in its ground state was supposed to travel in a circle of radius 5×10-11m, held in orbit by the Coulomb attraction of the proton. According to classical electrodynamics, this electron should radiate, and hence spiral in to the nucleus. Show thatv≪c for most of the trip (so you can use the Larmor formula), and calculate the lifespan of Bohr’s atom. (Assume each revolution is essentially circular.)

A charged particle, traveling in from −∞ along the x axis, encounters a rectangular potential energy barrier

U(x)={U0, if 0<x<L,0, otherwise}

Show that, because of the radiation reaction, it is possible for the particle to tunnel through the barrier-that is, even if the incident kinetic energy is less thanU0, the particle can pass through 26.[Hint: Your task is to solve the equation

a=τa˙+Fm

Subject to the force

F(x)=U0[−δ(x)+δ(x−L)]

Refer to Probs. 11.19 and 11.31, but notice that this time the force is a specified function ofx, nott. There are three regions to consider: (i)x<0, (ii) 0<x<L, (iii)x>L. Find the general solution fora(t), Ï…(t), andx(t)in each region, exclude the runaway in region (iii), and impose the appropriate boundary conditions at x=0andx=L. Show that the final velocity (Ï…f)is related to the time spent traversing the barrier by the equation

,L=υfT−U0mυf(τe−T/τ+T−τ)

and the initial velocity (atx=−∞) is

υi=υf−U0mυf[1−11+υ0mvf2(e−T/τ−1)]

To simplify these results (since all we're looking for is a specific example), suppose the final kinetic energy is half the barrier height. Show that in this case

υi=υf1−(L/υfτ)

In particular, if you choose L=υfτ/4 , then υi=(4/3)υf, the initial kinetic energy is (8/9)U0, and the particle makes it through, even though it didn't have sufficient energy to get over the barrier!]

Assuming you exclude the runaway solution in Prob. 11.19, calculate

(a) The work done by the external force,

(b) The final kinetic energy (assume the initial kinetic energy was zero),

(c) The total energy radiated.

Check that energy is conserved in this process.
