Apply Eqs. 11.59 and 11.60 to the rotating dipole of Prob. 11.4. Explain any apparent discrepancies with your previous answer

Short Answer

Expert verified

The equation of the Poynting vectorS=μ0p02Ӭ416π2csin2θr2r^ disagrees with the value of Poynting vector S in problem 11.4 because, in this problem, the polar axis is along the direction ofpt0¨ .

For the case of total radiated power, the value ofPradt0=μ0p02Ӭ46πc agrees with the value of P in problem 11.4 because, in this problem, the integration of all angles is calculated, and the orientation of the polar axis is irrelevant.

Step by step solution

01

Expression for the dipole moment of rotating dipole:

Write the expression for the dipole moment of the rotating dipole.

p(t)=p0cos(Ӭt)x^+p0sin(Ӭt)y^ …… (1)

Write the expression for the Poynting vector (using equation 11.59 ).

S=μ0p¨t216π2csin2θr2r^ …… (2)

Write the expression for the total radiated power (using equation ).

Pradt0≅μ06πcp¨t02 …… (3)

02

Determine the apparent discrepancies:

Take the double differentiation of equation (1).

p˙t=-p0ӬsinӬtx^+p0ӬcosӬty^p¨t=-p0Ӭ2cosӬtx^-p0Ӭ2sinӬty^p¨t=-p0Ӭ2cosӬtx^+sinӬty^

Substitutep¨t=-p0Ӭ2cosӬtx^+sinӬty^ in the above value in equation (2).

S=μ0-p0Ӭ2cosӬtx^+sinӬty^216π2csin2θr2r^S=μ0p02Ӭ416π2ccos2Ӭt+sin2Ӭtsin2θr2r^S=μ0p02Ӭ416π2csin2θr2r^

Hence, the above equation disagrees with the value of Poynting vector S in problem 11.4 because, in this problem, the polar axis is along the direction of p¨t0.

Substitutep¨t=-p0Ӭ2cosӬtx^+sinӬty^ in equation (3).

Pradt0≅μ06πc-p0Ӭ2cosӬtx^+sinӬty^2Pradt0=μ0p02Ӭ46πc

For the case of total radiated power, the value ofPradt0=μ0p02Ӭ46πc agrees with the value of P in problem 11.4 because, in this problem, the integration of all angles is calculated, and the orientation of the polar axis is irrelevant.

Find the angle θmax at which the maximum radiation is emitted, in Ex. 11.3 (Fig. 11.13). Show that for ultra relativistic speeds ( υclose toc), θmax≅(1−β)/2. What is the intensity of the radiation in this maximal direction (in the ultra relativistic case), in proportion to the same quantity for a particle instantaneously at rest? Give your answer in terms ofγ.

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.

With the inclusion of the radiation reaction force (Eq. 11.80) Newton’s second law for a charged particle becomes

a=τa˙+Fm

Where Fis the external force acting on the particle.

(a) In contrast to the case of an unchanged particle (a=Fm), acceleration (like position and velocity) must now be a continuous function of time, even if the force changes abruptly. (Physically, the radiation reaction damps out any rapid change in a). Prove that ais continuous at any time t, by integrating the equation of motion above from (t-ε)to (t+ε)and taking the limit ε→0.

(b) A particle is subjected to constant force F, beginning at timet=0and lasting until time T. Find the most general solution role="math" localid="1658753661705" a(t)to the equation of motion in each of the three periods: (i) t<0; (ii) 0<t<T ; (iii) t>T.

(c) Impose the continuity condition (a) at t=0and t=T. Sow that you can either eliminate the runaway in region (iii) or avoid pre-acceleration in region (i), but not both.

(d) If you choose to eliminate the runaway, what is the acceleration as a function of time, in each interval? How about the velocity? (The latter must, of course, be continuous at t=0andt=T ). Assume the particle was originally at rest; v(-∞)=0.

(e) Plot a(t)and v(t), both for an uncharged particle and for a (non-runaway) charged particle, subject to this force.

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.

RepeatProb. 11.19, but this time let the external force be a Dirac delta function:F(t)=k∂(t)(for some constant k)[Note that the acceleration is now discontinuous att=0(though the velocity must still be continuous); use the method ofProb. 11.19(a) to show thatΔ²¹=−k/³¾Ï„. In this problem there are only two intervals to consider: (i)t<0and (ii)t>0.]

(b) As inProb. 11.30, check that energy is conserved in this process.
