    Electromagnetism Homework Sheet No.

    Issued 27 Oct. 2021

    1. Find the general solution to Laplace’s equation in spherical coordinates, for the case
    where V depends only on r. Do the same for cylindrical coordinates, assuming V depends
    only on s.
    (Textbook, p. 119, Problem 3.3).

    2. Prove that the field is uniquely determined when the charge density  is given, and either
    V or the normal derivative V/n is specified on each boundary surface. Do not assume the
    boundaries are conductors, or that V is constant over any given surface.
    (Textbook, p. 124, Problem 3.5).

    3. A uniform line charge  is placed on an infinite straight wire, a distance d above a


    grounded conducting plane. (Let’s say the wire runs parallel to the x-axis and directly above
    it, and the conducting plane is the xy plane.)
    (a) Find the potential in the region above the plane.
    (b) Find the charge density  induced on the conducting plane.
    (Textbook, p. 130, Problem 3.10).

    4. Two semi-infinite grounded conducting planes meet at right angles. In the region between
    them, there is a point charge q, situated as shown in
    Fig. 1. Set up the image configuration, and calculate
    the potential in this region. What charges do you need,
    and where should they be located? What is the force
    on q? How much work did it take to bring q in from
    infinity? Suppose the planes met at some angle other
    than 90; would you still be able to solve the problem
    by the method of image? If not, for what particular
    angles does the method work?
    Fig. 1 Figure for problem 4.
    (Textbook, p.130, Problem 3.11)

    5. A rectangular pipe, running parallel to the z-axis (from –  to + ), has three grounded
    metal sides at y = 0, y = a, and x = 0. The fourth side, at x = b, is maintained at specified
    potential V0(y).
    (a) Develop a general formula for the potential inside the pipe.
    (b) Find the potential explicitly, for the case V0(y) = V0 (a constant).
    (Textbook, p. 140, Problem 3.15).

    6. The potential at the surface of a sphere (radius R) is given by V0 = k cos 3 , where k is a


    constant. Find the potential inside and outside the sphere, as well as the surface charge
    density  () on the sphere. (Assume there is no charge inside or outside the sphere.)
    (Textbook, p. 149, Problem 3.19).

    7. A sphere of radius R, centered at the origin, carries charge density


    R
     (r ,  )  k ( R  2r )sin  , where k is a constant, and r,  are the usual spherical
    r2
    coordinates. Find the approximate potential for points on the z axis, far from the sphere.
    (Textbook, p. 154, Problem 3.27).

    8. A stationary electric dipole p  pzˆ is situated at the origin. A positive point charge q
    (mass m) executes circular motion (radius ) at constant speed in the field of the dipole.
    Characterize the plane of the orbit. Find the speed, angular momentum and total energy of

    the charge.  Answer : L  qpm / 3 3 0 


     
    (Textbook, p. 166, Problem 3.57).
