Step by step solution

01

Understanding Electric and magnetic fields

When a statically charged particle is placed in space, the field will be produced due to charged particle, called an Electric field.

The field produced around a magnet and magnetism's effect is called the magnetic field.

02

Determination of the Electric field and Magnetic field above a certain height.

(a)

We know that:

Modifying equation 11.16, we can write:

A(x,t)=μ04π​â¶Ä‹âˆ«K(tr)​rda...(i)

By solving simplifying equation (i), we can write:

A(x,t)=μ0z^4π​â¶Ä‹âˆ«K(tr)​r2+x22Ï€rdr=μ0z^2​â¶Ä‹âˆ«K(t−r2+x2c)​r2+x2rdr...(ii)

To maximize or minimize the function, we have to perform the derivative of equation (ii) and equate it with zero. Hence, we can find the condition of maximum r

t−r2+x2c=0

Therefore,

rmax=c2t2−x2​As we know that K(t) is 0 for t less than zero.

  1. From the condition provided in the question, we can modify equation (ii) as:

A(x,t)=μ0K0z^2​â¶Ä‹âˆ«0rmax​1r2+x2rdr=μ0K0z^2r2+x2|0rmax=μ0K02(ct−x)z^

Therefore,

As we know, Electric field intensity (E) can be calculated as

E(x,t)=−∂A∂t=∂∂t(μ0K02(ct−x)z^)=μ0K0c2z^

As we know, Magnetic flux density (B) can be calculated as:

B(x,t)=∇×A=−∂Az∂xy^=μ0K02y^

(ii) From the condition provided in the question, we can modify equation (ii) as:

A(x,t)=μ0αz^2​â¶Ä‹âˆ«0rmax​(t−r2+x2c)r2+x2rdr=μ0αz^2[t∫0rmaxrr2+x2dr−1c∫0rmaxrdr]=μ0α(x−ct)2z^2

As we know, Electric field intensity (E) can be calculated as

E(x,t)=−∂A∂t=∂∂t(μ0α(x−ct)2z^2)=μ0α(x−ct)2z^

As we know, Magnetic flux density (B) can be calculated as:

B(x,t)=∇×A=−∂Az∂xy^=μ0α2(x−ct)y^

03

To show the retarded vector potential in the specified form

(b)

Let,

u≡1c(r2+x2−x)...(iii)

Therefore, we can find its derivative as:

du=1c(121r2+x22rdr)=1crr2+x2dr

And we can also calculate,

t−r2+x2c=t−xc−u

Because when r tends from 0 to infinity, u will also be tending from 0 to infinity.

Hence, we can modify equation (ii) as:

A(x,t)=μ0z^2​∫0∞(​t−xc−u)du...(iv)

As we know, Electric field intensity (E) can be calculated as

E(x,t)=−∂A∂t=−μ0z^2​∫0∞∂∂tK(​t−xc−u)du

Now, as we know that:

∂∂tK(​t−xc−u)=∂∂uK(​t−xc−u)

Therefore,

E(x,t)=−μ0cz^2​∫0∞∂∂uK(​t−xc−u)du=μ0cz^2K​(​t−xc−u)|0∞=−μ0c2[K(t−xc)−K(−∞)]z^=−μ0c2K(t−xc)z^

As we know, Magnetic flux density (B) can be calculated as:

B(x,t)=∇×A=−∂Az∂xy^=−μ0cy^2​∫0∞∂∂xK(​t−xc−u)du

Now, as we know that:

∂∂xK(​t−xc−u)=1c∂∂uK(​t−xc−u)

Therefore,

B(x,t)=−μ0y^2​∫0∞∂∂uK(​t−xc−u)du=−μ0y^2[K(​t−xc−u)]|0∞=−μ02[K(t−xc)−K(−∞)]y^=μ02K(t−xc)y^

04

 Finding the power radiated per unit area.

We know that to calculate the power radiated, we have to use thePoynting vector:

Therefore,

S=1μ0(E×B)=1μ0[−μ0c2K(t−xc)z^×μ02K(t−xc)y^]=1μ0μ0c2μ02K(t−xc)[−z^×y^]=μ0c4[K(t−xc)]2x^

Therefore, the power radiated we got by solving the Poynting vector is the power per unit area, which reaches a certain point x at a certain time t. It passes away from the surface at a time instant (t-x/c), and the amount of energy radiated towards the downward direction is the same.

Hence,

The time at which the total power left the surface is:

μ0c2[K(t)]2

An electron is released from rest and falls under the influence of gravity. In the first centimeter, what fraction of the potential energy lost is radiated away?

As a model for electric quadrupole radiation, consider two oppositely oriented oscillating electric dipoles, separated by a distance d, as shown in figure in Fig. 11.19. Use the results of Sect. 11.1.2 for the potentials of each dipole, but note that they are not located at the origin. Keeping only the terms of first order in d:

(a) Find the scalars and vector potentials

(b) Find the electric and magnetic fields.

(c) Find the pointing vector and the power radiated

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]

A point charge q, of mass m, is attached to a spring of constant k.Y2<<Ó¬0Attimet=0it is given a kick, so its initial energy is U0=12mv02. Now it oscillates, gradually radiating away this energy.

(a) Confirm that the total energy radiated is equal to U0. Assume the radiation damping is small, so you can write the equation of motion as and the solution as

role="math" localid="1658840767865" x+y+x+Ó¬02x=0,

and the solution as

x(t)=v0Ó¬0e-yt/2sin(Ó¬0t)

with Ӭ0≡k/m,Y=Ӭ02T, and Y2<<Ӭ0 (drop Y2in comparison to Ӭ02, and when you average over a complete cycle, ignore the change in e-yτ).

(b) Suppose now we have two such oscillators, and we start them off with identical kicks. Regardless of their relative positions and orientations, the total energy radiated must be 2U0. But what if they are right on top of each other, so it's equivalent to a single oscillator with twice the charge; the Larmor formula says that the power radiated is four times as great, suggesting that the total will be 4U0. Find the error in this reasoning, and show that the total is actually2U0, as it should be.

Find the radiation resistance of the wire joining the two ends of the dipole. (This is the resistance that would give the same average power loss—to heat—as the oscillating dipole in fact puts out in the form of radiation.) Show thatR=790(dλ)2Ω , whereλ is the wavelength of the radiation. For the wires in an ordinary radio (say, d = 5 cm ), should you worry about the radiative contribution to the total resistance?
