As we know that electric field due to a moving charge.

E1=q24πε0r(r⋅u)3[(c2−v2)u+(r⋅a)u−(r⋅u)a]

Substitute cr−v for u, (lx^+dy^) for r, νx^ for v, role="math" localid="1658740581012" ax^ for a, cr−lvfor râ‹…u and (cl−ν°ù)/r for uxinto above equation E1.

But r2=l2+d2

E1x=q8πε01(cr−lv)3[(cl−ν°ù)(c2−ν2)−acd2]

Therefore, the value of first term is the electromagnetic mass is Fradint=μ0q212Ï€³¦Î³4a+3ν²¹2γ2c2 and the radiation reaction itself is the second term is Frad=μ0q26Ï€³¦Î³4a+3ν²¹2γ2c2.

(b) Determine the value of radiation reaction force of adding first integral to the second one.

The power radiated in the case of collinear velocity and acceleration is:

P=μ0q26Ï€³¦Î³6a2

There is need to demonstrate from equation 11.75 that, on average, the power radiated by the dumbbell under force Frad equals the above-described P:

∫t1t2Frad⋅vdt=−∫t1t2Pdt

Assuming that the motion is periodic, vand an are assumed to have the identical values at t1 and t2, respectively. Now:

∫t1t2Fradâ‹…vdt=μ0q26Ï€³¦âˆ«t1t2γ4aË™+3γ2a2Ï…c2Ï…»å³Ù=μ0q26Ï€³¦(I1+I2)

Determine the first integral:

I∫t1t2γ4Ï…aË™dt=|(²¹Î³4Ï…)|t1t2−∫t1t2ddt(γ4Ï…)adt=0−∫t1t2(4γ3γ˙υ+γ4a)adt=−∫t1t2(4γ3γ˙υ²¹+γ4a2)dt

Substitute γ˙=−12−2Ï…/c2(1−υ2/c2)3/2=γ3Ï…²¹c2 into above equation.

−∫t1t24γ6υ2a2c2+γ4a2dt=−∫t1t2γ6a24υ2c2+γ2dt=∫t1t2γ6a21+3υ2c2dt

where the boundary term has been eliminated using the assumption of periodicity of motion. The result of adding the first integral to the second is:

Determine the radiation reaction force of adding first integral to the second one.

Substitute −μ0q26Ï€cγ6a21+3Ï…2c2for Frad and 3μ0q26Ï€³¦Î³6a2Ï…2c2 for vdtinto equation (2).

∫t1t2Fradâ‹…vdt=μ0q26Ï€³¦âˆ«t1t2−γ6a21+Ï…2c2+3γ6a2Ï…2c2dt=−μ0q26Ï€³¦âˆ«t1t2γ6a2dt=−∫t1t2Pdt

Therefore, the value of radiation reaction force of adding first integral to the second one is ∫t1t2Frad⋅vdt=−∫t1t2Pdt.

An electric dipole rotates at constant angular velocity Ӭin thexy plane. (The charges,±q , are at r±=±R(cosӬtx^+sinӬty^); the magnitude of the dipole moment is p=2qR.)

(a) Find the interaction term in the self-torque (analogous to Eq. 11.99). Assume the motion is nonrelativistic ( Ó¬R<<c).

(b) Use the method of Prob. 11.20(a) to obtain the total radiation reaction torque on this system. [answer: -μ0p2Ó¬36Ï€³¦z^]

(c) Check that this result is consistent with the power radiated (Eq. 11.60).

(a) A particle of charge qmoves in a circle of radiusRat a constant speedv. To sustain the motion, you must, of course, provide a centripetal forcemv2Rwhat additional force (Fe) must you exert, in order to counteract the radiation reaction? [It's easiest to express the answer in terms of the instantaneous velocityv.] What power (Pe) does this extra force deliver? ComparePewith the power radiated (use the Larmor formula).

(b) Repeat part (a) for a particle in simple harmonic motion with amplitudeand angular frequency:Ӭ.Ӭ(t)=Acos(Ӭt)z⌢ Explain the discrepancy.

(c) Consider the case of a particle in free fall (constant accelerationg). What is the radiation reaction force? What is the power radiated? Comment on these results.

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!]

8 Suppose the (electrically neutral) yz plane carries a time-dependent but uniform surface current K (t) Z.

(a) Find the electric and magnetic fields at a height x above the plane if

(i) a constant current is turned on at t = 0:

K(t)={0, â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰t≤0K0, â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰t>0}

(ii) a linearly increasing current is turned on at t = 0:

K(t)={0, â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰t≤0αt, â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰t>0}

(b) Show that the retarded vector potential can be written in the form, and from

A(x,t)=μ0c2z^∫0∞K(t−xc−u)du

And from this determine E and B.

(c) Show that the total power radiated per unit area of surface is

μ0c2[K(t)]2

Explain what you mean by "radiation," in this case, given that the source is not localized.22

A radio tower rises to height h above flat horizontal ground. At the top is a magnetic dipole antenna, of radius b, with its axis vertical. FM station KRUD broadcasts from this antenna at (angular) frequency Ӭ, with a total radiated power P (that’s averaged, of course, over a full cycle). Neighbors have complained about problems they attribute to excessive radiation from the tower—interference with their stereo systems, mechanical garage doors opening and closing mysteriously, and a variety of suspicious medical problems. But the city engineer who measured the radiation level at the base of the tower found it to be well below the accepted standard. You have been hired by the Neighborhood Association to assess the engineer’s report.

(a) In terms of the variables given (not all of which may be relevant), find the formula for the intensity of the radiation at ground level, a distance R from the base of the tower. You may assume that b≪c/Ӭ≪h. [Note: We are interested only in the magnitude of the radiation, not in its direction—when measurements are taken, the detector will be aimed directly at the antenna.]

(b) How far from the base of the tower should the engineer have made the measurement? What is the formula for the intensity at this location?

(c) KRUD’s actual power output is 35 kilowatts, its frequency is 90 MHz, the antenna’s radius is 6 cm, and the height of the tower is 200 m. The city’s radio-emission limit is 200 microwatts/cm2. Is KRUD in compliance?
