The general formula for the power radiated is P=μ0m¨26πc3

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

S=1μ0(E×B) ………. (1)

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

The maxwell equation for the magnetic field is

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.

An electron is released from rest and falls under the influence of gravity. In the first centimeter, what fraction of the potential energy lost is radiated away?

8 Suppose the (electrically neutral) yz plane carries a time-dependent but uniform surface current K (t) Z.

(a) Find the electric and magnetic fields at a height x above the plane if

(i) a constant current is turned on at t = 0:

K(t)={0,     t0K0,   t>0}

(ii) a linearly increasing current is turned on at t = 0:

K(t)={0,     t0αt,   t>0}

(b) Show that the retarded vector potential can be written in the form, and from

A(x,t)=μ0c2z^0K(txcu)du

And from this determine E and B.

(c) Show that the total power radiated per unit area of surface is

μ0c2[K(t)]2

Explain what you mean by "radiation," in this case, given that the source is not localized.22

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.

With the inclusion of the radiation reaction force (Eq. 11.80) Newton’s second law for a charged particle becomes

a=τa˙+Fm

Where Fis the external force acting on the particle.

(a) In contrast to the case of an unchanged particle (a=Fm), acceleration (like position and velocity) must now be a continuous function of time, even if the force changes abruptly. (Physically, the radiation reaction damps out any rapid change in a). Prove that ais continuous at any time t, by integrating the equation of motion above from (t-ε)to (t+ε)and taking the limit ε0.

(b) A particle is subjected to constant force F, beginning at timet=0and lasting until time T. Find the most general solution role="math" localid="1658753661705" a(t)to the equation of motion in each of the three periods: (i) t<0; (ii) 0<t<T ; (iii) t>T.

(c) Impose the continuity condition (a) at t=0and t=T. Sow that you can either eliminate the runaway in region (iii) or avoid pre-acceleration in region (i), but not both.

(d) If you choose to eliminate the runaway, what is the acceleration as a function of time, in each interval? How about the velocity? (The latter must, of course, be continuous at t=0andt=T ). Assume the particle was originally at rest; v(-)=0.

(e) Plot a(t)and v(t), both for an uncharged particle and for a (non-runaway) charged particle, subject to this force.

RepeatProb. 11.19, but this time let the external force be a Dirac delta function:F(t)=k(t)(for some constant k)[Note that the acceleration is now discontinuous att=0(though the velocity must still be continuous); use the method ofProb. 11.19(a) to show thatΔa=k/. In this problem there are only two intervals to consider: (i)t<0and (ii)t>0.]

(b) As inProb. 11.30, check that energy is conserved in this process.
