Expert verified

The electric field and magnetic fields of a magnetic monopole is E'=-cr^×B'and B'=μ0qm4πr(r.u)3(c2-v2)u+r×(u×a)respectively, and the “Larmor formula” for the power radiated is p=μ0a2qm26πc3.

Step by step solution

01

Expression for the duality transformation equations:

Write the expression for the duality transformation equations.

E'=Ecosα+cBsinαcB'=cBcosα-Esinαcqe'=cqecosα+qmsinαqm'=qmcosα-cqesinα

02

Determine the electric and magnetic fields of a magnetic monopole:

Substitute α=90°in all the duality transformation equations.

localid="1657524521051" E'=Ecos(90°)+cBsin(90°)=cBcB'=cBcos(90°)-Esin(90°)=-Ecqe'=cqecos(90°)+qmsin(90°)=qmqm'=qmcos(90°)-cqesin(90°)=-cqe

Now, write all the duality transformation equations in a proper form.

E'=cBcB'=-Ecqe'=qmqm'=-cqe

Calculate the electric field due to a magnetic monopole.

E'=c1cr^×EE'=cr^×Ec.......(1) …… (1)

Here, E is the electric field which is given as:

E=q4πr(r-u)3(c2-v2)u+r×(u×a)

Substitution -Ecfor B'in equation (1).

E'=-cr^×B'

Calculate the magnetic field due to a magnetic monopole.

localid="1657524651730" B'=-EcB'=-1cqe4πr(r.u)3(c2-v2)u+r×(u×a)B'=-1c-qmC4πε0r(r.u)3(c2-v2)u+r×(u×a)B'=μ0qm4πr(r.u)3(c2-v2)u+r×(u×a)

03

Determine the “Larmor formula” for the power radiated:

Write the expression for the total power radiated by the decelerating charge.

P=μ0a26πcqe'2

Substitute the value of qe'in the above expression.

P=μ0a26πc-qmc2p=μ0a2qm26πc3

Therefore, the electric field and magnetic field of a magnetic monopole is E'=-cr^×B'andB'=μ0qm4πr(r.u)3(c2-v2)u+r(u×a)respectively, and the “Larmor formula” for the power radiated is p=μ0a2qm26πc3.

An ideal electric dipole is situated at the origin; its dipole moment points in the z direction and is quadratic in time:

p(t)=12p¨0t2z^    (<t<)

wherep¨0is a constant.

  1. Use the method of Section 11.1.2 to determine the (exact) electric and magnetic fields for all r > 0 (there's also a delta-function term at the origin, but we're not concerned with that).
  2. Calculate the power, P(r,t), passing through a sphere of radius r.
  3. Find the total power radiated (Eq. 11.2), and check that your answer is consistent with Eq. 11.60.21

we calculated the energy per unit time radiated by a (non-relativistic) point charge- the Larmor formula. In the same spirit:

(a) Calculate the momentum per unit time radiated.

(b) Calculate the angular momentum per unit time radiated.

A particle of mass m and charge q is attached to a spring with force constant k, hanging from the ceiling (Fig. 11.18). Its equilibrium position is a distance h above the floor. It is pulled down a distance d below equilibrium and released, at timet=0.

(a) Under the usual assumptions (dλh), calculate the intensity of the radiation hitting the floor, as a function of the distance R from the point directly below q. [Note: The intensity here is the average power per unit area of floor.]

FIGURE 11.18

At whatR is the radiation most intense? Neglect the radiative damping of the oscillator.

(b) As a check on your formula, assume the floor is of infinite extent, and calculate the average energy per unit time striking the entire floor. Is it what you’d expect?

(c) Because it is losing energy in the form of radiation, the amplitude of the oscillation will gradually decrease. After what timebhas the amplitude been reduced to d/e? (Assume the fraction of the total energy lost in one cycle is very small.)

Apply Eqs. 11.59 and 11.60 to the rotating dipole of Prob. 11.4. Explain any apparent discrepancies with your previous answer

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.
