Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

The given equation 11.60

Prad(t0)μ06πc[p¨(t0)]2

02

Determine the formulas to calculate the power radiated. 

The expression for the pointing vector is

Here, μ0is the permeability of free space, Eis the electric field, Bis the magnetic field.

The retarded vector potential is

role="math" localid="1658736946261" A(r,t)=μ04πJ(t-rc)r' ………. (2)

Here,Jis the current density, Cis the speed of the light, t is the time, and role="math" localid="1658737028413" ris the position vector.

The change in current is

Here, bis the radius of the wire loop, and ϕ^ is the direction vector.

The maxwell equation for the electric field is

Here, E is the electric field, role="math" localid="1658737189047" Vis the voltage.

The maxwell equation for the magnetic field is

B=×A ………. (5)

Here, ×A is the curl of role="math" localid="1658737263083" A.

The total radiated power is

role="math" localid="1658737288650" P=S.da ………. (6)

Here,role="math" localid="1658737336377" Sis the pointing vector.

The magnetic dipole moment is

μ=IA ………. (7)

Here, I is the current andA is the area of the ring.

03

Step 3: Derive the general formula for the power radiated in the terms of the magnetic dipole moment.

From the equation (2)

A(r,t)=μ04πJt-rcr'

Rearrange the equation,

A(r,t)=μ04πt-rcr(Jdτ')

As we know,

Jdτ'=IdI'

Substitute IdI' for Jdτ'in the above equation.

A(r,t)=μ04πt-rcr(IdI') ………. (8)

Here,

1r=1r1+brsinθcosϕ'

Now substitute (-sinϕ'x^+cosϕ'y^) for ' in the equation (3)

dI'=b(-sinϕ'x^+cosϕ'y^)f^

Also,

It-rc=It-rc+bcsinθcosϕ'

Substitute t0for t-rc in the above equation.

It-rc=It0+bcsinθcosϕ'=I(t0)+I˙(t0)bcsinθcosϕ'=I+I˙bcsinθcosϕ'

Substitute I+I˙bcsinθcosϕ'for It-rc in the equation (8)

A(r,t)=μ04π1r1+brsinθcosf'(I+I'bcsinθcosϕ')b(-sinϕ'x^+cosϕ'y^)'=μ0b4πr02πI+I'bcsinθcosf'+Ibrsinθcosϕ'(-sinϕ'x^+cosϕ'y^)'

From the trigonometry,

02πsinϕ''=02πcosϕ''=002πsinϕcosϕ''=002πcos2ϕ''=π

Therefore, the equation (9) becomes

A(r,t)=μ0b4πrπy^I˙bcsinθ+IbrsinθA(r,t)=μ0b24r2I˙rcsinθ+Isinθy^

For points not lying (z-x) plane

y^f^

A(r,t)=μ0b24cI˙t-rcsinθrf^ ………. (10)

From the equation (4)

E(r,t)=-V-At

As the voltage, V=0, the electric field is

E(r,t)=-At

Substitute equation (10) in the above expression.

E(r,t)=tμ0b24cI˙t-rcsinθrϕ^E(r,t)=-μ0b24ctI˙t-rcsinθrϕ^E(r,t)=-μ0b24cI¨t-rcsinθrϕ^

From the equation (5)

B=×A

The curl of the A is

×A=1rsinθθ(Aϕsinθ)r^-1rr(rAϕ)θ^

Substitute equation (10) in the above expression

×A=μ0b24cIrsinθθI˙trcsinθrsinθr^1rrrI˙trcsinθrθ^=μ0b24cI˙rsinθ2sinθcosθrr^1rI¨1csinθθ^=μ0b24c2I¨sinθrθ^

Therefore, the magnetic field isμ0b24c2I¨sinθrθ^

From the equation (1)

S=1μ0(E×B)

Substituteμ0b24c2I¨sinθrθ^ for B and -μ0b24cI¨t-rcsinθrϕ^ for E

S=1μ0-μ0b24cI¨t-rcsinθrf^2×μ0b24c2I¨sinθrθ^S=1μ0cμ0b24cI¨sinθr2(-f^×θ^)S=μ0b16c3(b2I¨)2sin2θr2r^

The total radiated power is

P=S.da

Substituteμ0b16c3(b2I¨)2sin2θr2r^ forS.

P=S.daP=f=02πθ=0πμ0b16c3(b2I¨)2sin2θr2r2sinθdθdfP=2πμ0b16c3(b2I¨)20πsin2θdθP=μ016c3(b2I¨)2×2π×43

Hence,

P=μ0π6c3(b2I¨)2 ………… (11)

From the equation (7)

μ=IA

Substitute πb2 for A

μ=I×(πb2)

Here, Iis the current and bis the radius of the ring.

Differentiate the above equation twice.

m¨=I¨πb2m¨π=I¨b2

Substitute m¨π for I¨b2in the equation (11)

P=μ0π6c3m¨π2P=μ0πm¨26c3×π2P=μ0m¨26πc3

Thus, the general formula for the power radiated is P=μ0m¨26πc3.

Question: In Ex. 11.3 we assumed the velocity and acceleration were (instantaneously,

at least) collinear. Carry out the same analysis for the case where they are

perpendicular. Choose your axes so that v lies along the z axis and a along the x axis

dP=μ0q2a216π2c1-βcosθ2-1-β2sin2θcos2ϕ1-βcosθ5,P=μ0q2a2γ46πc[Answer: .For relativistic velocities ( β1) the radiation is again sharply peaked in the forward

direction (Fig. 11.15). The most important application of these formulas is to circular motion-in this case the radiation is called synchrotron radiation. For a relativistic electron, the radiation sweeps around like a locomotive's headlight as the particle moves.]

Use the “duality” transformation of Prob. 7.64, together with the fields of an oscillating electric dipole (Eqs. 11.18 and 11.19), to determine the fields that would be produced by an oscillating “Gilbert” magnetic dipole (composed of equal and opposite magnetic charges, instead of an electric current loop). Compare Eqs. 11.36 and 11.37, and comment on the result.

A parallel-plate capacitor C, with plate separation d, is given an initial charge (±)Q0. It is the0n connected to a resistor R, and discharges, Q(t)=Q0e-t/RC.

(a) What fraction of its initial energy(Q02/2C) does it radiate away?

(b) If C=1pF,R=1000Ω,and role="math" localid="1653972749344" d=0.1mm, what is the actual number? In electronics we don’t ordinarily worry about radiative losses; does that seem reasonable, in this case?

Check that the retarded potentials of an oscillating dipole (Eqs. 11.12 and 11.17) satisfy the Lorenz gauge condition. Do not use approximation 3.

(a) A particle of charge qmoves in a circle of radiusRat a constant speedv. To sustain the motion, you must, of course, provide a centripetal forcemv2Rwhat additional force (Fe) must you exert, in order to counteract the radiation reaction? [It's easiest to express the answer in terms of the instantaneous velocityv.] What power (Pe) does this extra force deliver? ComparePewith the power radiated (use the Larmor formula).

(b) Repeat part (a) for a particle in simple harmonic motion with amplitudeand angular frequency:ω.ω(t)=Acos(ωt)z Explain the discrepancy.

(c) Consider the case of a particle in free fall (constant accelerationg). What is the radiation reaction force? What is the power radiated? Comment on these results.
