An infinite cylinder of radius Rhas a linear charge density λ. The volume charge density C/m3within the cylinder (r≤R)is ÒÏ(r)=rÒÏ0/R, where ÒÏ0is a constant to be determined.

a. Draw a graph of ÒÏversus localid="1648911863544" xfor an x-axis that crosses the cylinder perpendicular to the cylinder axis. Let xrange from −2Rto 2R.

b. The charge within a small volume dVis dq=ÒÏdV. The integral of ÒÏdVover a cylinder of length localid="1648848405768" Lis the total charge Q=λLwithin the cylinder. Use this fact to show that ÒÏ0=3λ/2Ï€R2.

Hint: Let dVbe a cylindrical shell of length L, radius r, and thickness dr. What is the volume of such a shell?

c. Use Gauss's law to find an expression for the electric field strength Einside the cylinder, localid="1648889098349" r≤R, in terms of λand R.

d. Does your expression have the expected value at the surface, localid="1648889146353" r=R? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Graph forÒÏversusx

b) The fact shows that localid="1648912582458" ÒÏ0=3λ2R2Ï€

c) An expression for the electric field strength localid="1648912589521" E=λr22R3πϵ0(r≤R)

d) For localid="1648912607750" r=Rthe electric field strength localid="1648912597831" E=λ2Rπϵ0

Step by step solution

01

Draw a graph of ρ versus x (part a)

a)

02

Expression of the charge within a small volume dV (part b)

b) You may try resolving via defining the charge in a tiny volume dV:

dq=ÒÏdV

dV=2rπLdr(differentiate the volume of cylinder)

dq=ÒÏ0rRâ‹…2rÏ€Ldr (try substitutingdVand ÒÏ)

Q=2ÒÏ0Ï€LR∫0R r2dr( To obtain net charge integrating it from 0to r)

Q=2ÒÏ0Ï€LRr330R

Q=2ÒÏ0Ï€LRR33

Q=2ÒÏ0Ï€LR23

In additional, you knew about localid="1648884695068" Q=λL.

Q=λL

λL=2ÒÏ0Ï€LR23(try substitutingQ)

localid="1648884669435" ÒÏ0=3λ2R2Ï€(showÒÏ0)

03

cylindrical Gaussian surface (part c)

c) For obtain an electromagnetic field at r≤R, you need to adopt Gauss equation. Its helical Probabilistic distribution was selected.

∮E→⋅dA→=Qinϵ0

∮E→⋅dA→=EA(A cylinder is a Gaussian surface)

EA=Qinϵ0

E=QinAϵ0

A=2rπl(cylinder's surface area)

Qin=∫ÒÏdV(charge in the surface)

Then you will obtain Qinusing the same calculation as seen at portion a).

Qin=2ÒÏ0Ï€lR∫0r r2dr (integrate it from localid="1648907852327" 0to localid="1648907900366" r)

Qin=2ÒÏ0Ï€lRr330r (solve the integral)

Qin=2ÒÏ0Ï€lRr33

Qin=2Ï€lr33Râ‹…3λ2R2Ï€ (try substituting ÒÏ0)

Qin=λlr3R3

E=λlr3R3⋅12rπlϵ0(put Aand Qinto formula for E)

E=λr22R3πϵ0

04

The electric field for the long charged wire (part d)

d) To r=Ryou obtain,

E=λR22R3πϵ0

E=λ2Rπϵ0

Considering every lengthy electrified cable, you see an equation to such electromagnetic current.
