Answer

The energy stored in the field is u=12(ε0E2+1μ0B2), the Poynting vector is S=1μ0(E×B), the electromagnetic momentum density is g=ε0(E×B), and the stress tensor is Tij=ε0(EiEj-12δijE2)+1μ0(BiBj-12δijB2). Thus, the formulas for the momentum density and the stress are unchanged.

Step by step solution

01

Expression for Maxwell’s equation with magnetic charge and Lorentz force equation:

Write the expression for Maxwell’s equation with a magnetic charge.

·F=1ε0μ0 …… (1)

Consider the second equation as:

·B=pμ0m …… (2)

Consider the third equation as:

·E=-μ0Jm-Bt …… (3)

Consider the fourth equation as:

×B=-μ0Je+μ0ε0Et …… (4)

Here, E is the electric field, ε0is the permittivity of free space, ρeis the electric charge density, Jeis the electric current density, Jm is the magnetic current density, B is the magnetic field, t is the time and μ0is the permeability of free space.

Write the expression for the Lorentz force.

F=qe(E+v×B)+qm(B-1c2v×E) …… (5)

Here, q is the charge, c is the speed of light, and v is the speed.

02

Determine the work done by an electromagnetic force:

Multiply by dl in equation (5) to calculate the work done by the electromagnetic force in the interval dt.

F·dl=[qeE+v×B+qmB-1c2v×E]·dt ……. (6)

Write the expression for displacement in terms of velocity and time.

dl = vdt

Substitute the known values in equation (6).

F·dl=[qe(E+v×B)+qm(B-1c2v×E)]·vdtF·dl=[qe(E+v×B)·vdt+qm(B-1c2v×E)·vdt]F·dl=[((qeE·vdt)+qe(v×B)·vdt)+(qmB·vdt-qmc2(v×E)·vdt)]F·dl=[(qeE·vdt)+(qmB·vdt)] ……. (7)

03

Determine the energy stored in the field and the Poynting vector:

Since,

Substitute the known values in equation (7).

dWdt=[E·Je+B·Jm]dζ

Use equations (3) and (4) to remove Jeand Jmin the above equation.

dWdt=[E·×Bμ0-ε0E+B·-×Eμ0-1μ0Bt]dWdt=[E·×Bμ0-ε0E·E+-B·×Eμ0-1μ0Bt] ……. (9)

Since,

·(E×B)=(×E)-E·(×B)

On further solving equation (8),

dWdt=-1μ0·(E×B)-12t(ε0E2+1μ0B2)dWdt=-ddt12(ε0E2+1μ0B2)dζ-1μ0(E×B)·da

Hence, the energy stored in the field will be,

u=12(ε0E2+1μ0B2)

So, the Poynting vector will be,

S=1μ0(E×B)

04

Determine the electromagnetic momentum density:

Write the expression for electromagnetic momentum density.

g=μ0ε0S

Substitute the known values in the above equation.

g=μ0ε0(1μ0(E×B))g=ε0(E×B)

05

Determine the stress tensor:

Write the expression for the total electromagnetic force on the charges for volume.

F=[E+V×Bρe+B-1c2v×Eρm]dζ

Write the expression for force per unit volume.

Fdζ=[(E+V×B)ρe+(B-1c2v×E)ρm]f=[(ρeE+ρev×B)+(ρmB-1c2ρmv×E)]f=[(ρeE+Je×B)+(ρmB-1c2Jm×E)]

From equations (1), (2), (3) and (4),

f=ε0[·EE-12E2+E·E]+1μ0[·BB-12B2+B·B]-ε0t(E×B)

So, the stress tensor will be,

Tij=ε0(EiEj-12δijE2)+1μ0(BiBj-12δijB2)

Therefore, the energy stored in the field is u=12(ε0E2+1μ0B2), the Poynting vector is S=1μ0(E×B), the electromagnetic momentum density is g=ε0(E×B), and the stress tensor is Tij=ε0(EiEj-12δijE2)+1μ0(BiBj-12δijB2). Thus, the formulas for the momentum density and the stress are unchanged.

Consider an infinite parallel-plate capacitor, with the lower plate (at z=d2) carrying surface charge density -σ, and the upper plate (atz=+d2) carrying charge density +σ.

(a) Determine all nine elements of the stress tensor, in the region between the plates. Display your answer as a3×3matrix:

(TxxTxyTxzTyxTyyTyzTzxTzyTzz)

(b) Use Eq. 8.21 to determine the electromagnetic force per unit area on the top plate. Compare Eq. 2.51.

(c) What is the electromagnetic momentum per unit area, per unit time, crossing the xy plane (or any other plane parallel to that one, between the plates)?

(d) Of course, there must be mechanical forces holding the plates apart—perhaps the capacitor is filled with insulating material under pressure. Suppose we suddenly remove the insulator; the momentum flux (c) is now absorbed by the plates, and they begin to move. Find the momentum per unit time delivered to the top plate (which is to say, the force acting on it) and compare your answer to (b). [Note: This is not an additional force, but rather an alternative way of calculating the same force—in (b) we got it from the force law, and in (d) we do it by conservation of momentum.]

Question: (a) Carry through the argument in Sect. 8.1.2, starting with Eq. 8.6, but using Jfin place of J. Show that the Poynting vector becomes S=E×Hand the rate of change of the energy density in the fields isut=E·Dt+H·Bt·

For linear media, show that

u=12E·D+B·H.

(b) In the same spirit, reproduce the argument in Sect. 8.2.2, starting with Eq. 8.15, with ρfand inJfplace of ρand J. Don’t bother to construct the Maxwell stress tensor, but do show that the momentum density isg=D×B.

An infinitely long cylindrical tube, of radius a, moves at constant speed v along its axis. It carries a net charge per unit length λ, uniformly distributed over its surface. Surrounding it, at radius b, is another cylinder, moving with the same velocity but carrying the opposite charge -λ. Find:

(a) The energy per unit length stored in the fields.

(b) The momentum per unit length in the fields.

(c) The energy per unit time transported by the fields across a plane perpendicular to the cylinders.


Imagine two parallel infinite sheets, carrying uniform surface charge +σ(on the sheet at z=d) and -σ(at z=0). They are moving in they direction at constant speed v (as in Problem 5.17).

(a) What is the electromagnetic momentum in a region of area A?

(b) Now suppose the top sheet moves slowly down (speed u) until it reaches the bottom sheet, so the fields disappear. By calculating the total force on the charge q=σA, show that the impulse delivered to the sheet is equal to the momentum originally stored in the fields. [Hint: As the upper plate passes by, the magnetic field drops to zero, inducing an electric field that delivers an impulse to the lower plate.]
