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.]

(a) Consider two equal point charges q, separated by a distance 2a. Construct the plane equidistant from the two charges. By integrating Maxwell’s stress tensor over this plane, determine the force of one charge on the other.

(b) Do the same for charges that are opposite in sign.

Consider the charging capacitor in Prob. 7.34.

(a) Find the electric and magnetic fields in the gap, as functions of the distance s from the axis and the timet. (Assume the charge is zero at t=0).

(b) Find the energy density uemand the Poynting vector S in the gap. Note especially the direction of S. Check that Eq.8.12is satisfied.

(c) Determine the total energy in the gap, as a function of time. Calculate the total power flowing into the gap, by integrating the Poynting vector over the appropriate surface. Check that the power input is equal to the rate of increase of energy in the gap (Eq 8.9—in this case W = 0, because there is no charge in the gap). [If you’re worried about the fringing fields, do it for a volume of radius b<awell inside the gap.]

Picture the electron as a uniformly charged spherical shell, with charge e and radius R, spinning at angular velocity ω.

(a) Calculate the total energy contained in the electromagnetic fields.

(b) Calculate the total angular momentum contained in the fields.

(c) According to the Einstein formula E=mc2, the energy in the fields should contribute to the mass of the electron. Lorentz and others speculated that the entire mass of the electron might be accounted for in this way: uem=mec2. Suppose, moreover, that the electron’s spin angular momentum is entirely attributable to the electromagnetic fields:Lem=ħ2 On these two assumptions, determine the radius and angular velocity of the electron. What is their product, ωR? Does this classical model make sense?

A sphere of radius R carries a uniform polarization P and a uniform magnetization M (not necessarily in the same direction). Find the electromagnetic momentum of this configuration. [Answer:49ττμ0R3(M×P)]
