For the force field F=-yi+xj+zk, calculate the work done in moving a particle from (1,0,0) torole="math" localid="1664273455603" (-1,0,Ï€)

(a) along the helixx=cost,y=sint,z=t;

(b) along the straight line joining the points.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)The work done isW=Ï€2+Ï€2

(b) The work done isW=Ï€22

F is not conservative so the work done by these forces depends on the path.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The force field isF1=-yi+xj+zk'

02

Definition of conservative force and scalar potential

A force is said to be conservative if∇×F=0 .

The scalar potential is independent of the path. The scalar potential is the sum of potential in all the 3 dimensions calculated separately.

The formula for the scalar potential is W=∫F.dr.

03

Find the work done for first part.

W1is from (0,0,0) to (x,0,0).

x=cost,y=sint,z=t

Now write the other values.

dx=-sintdt,dy=costdt,dz=dt

Find the work.

W1=∫F·dr=∫0πsin2tdt

Set the limits of integration from0→π because the position (1,0,0) corresponds to an angle of zero, while the position (-1,0,0) corresponds to an angle of π.

W1=Ï€/2

W2is from(0,0,0) to (x,0,0) .

x=cost,y=sint,z=t

Now write the other values.

dx=-sintdt,dy=costdt,dz=dt

Find the work.

W2=∫F·drW2=∫0πtdtW2=π2/2

The formula states the equation mentioned below.

W=W1+W2=Ï€2+Ï€2

04

Find the work done for second part.

W1is from(1,0,0) to (-1,0,0) .

y = 0

z = 0

dy = 0

dz = 0

Find the work.

W1=∫F·dr=∫1-10dx

W2is from(-1,0,0) to(-1,0,Ï€) .

y = 0

dx = 0

dy = 0

Find the work.

W2=Ï€2/2

The formula states the equation mentioned below.

W=W1+W2=Ï€22

05

Verify whether the force is conservative or not.

The force is said to be conservative if∇×F=0 .

Putthe values given below in the above equation.

∇×F=ijk∂/∂x∂/∂y∂/∂z-yxz∇×F=(0-0)i-(0-0)j+(-1-1)k≠0

Therefore, the field is not conservative.

A cylindrical capacitor consists of two long concentric metal cylinders. If there is a charge of k coulombs per meter on the inside cylinder of radius, R1and coulombs per meter on the outside cylinder of radius,R1find -k the electric field E between the cylinders. Hint: Use Gauss’s law and the method indicated in Figure 10.7. What is E inside the inner cylinder? Outside the outer cylinder? (Again use Gauss’s law.) Find, either by inspection or by direct integration, the potential role="math" localid="1659237306724" φsuch thatE=-∇φfor each of the three regions above. In each case E is not affected by adding an arbitrary constant toφ. Adjust the additive constant to makeφa continuous function for all space

(a) Given Φ=x2-y2, sketch on one graph the curvesΦ=4,Φ=1,Φ=0,Φ=-1,Φ=-4. IfΦis the electrostatic potential, the curvesΦ=const. are equipotential, and the electric field is given byE=-∇Φ. IfΦis temperature, the curvesΦ= const. are isothermals and∇Φis the temperature gradient; heat flows in the direction-∇Φ.

(b) Find and draw on your sketch the vectors-∇Φat the points(x,y)=(+1,+1),(0,+2),(+2,0),. Then, remembering that∇Φis perpendicular toΦ= const., sketch, without computation, several curves along which heat would flow [see (a)].
