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.

The fields that would be produced by an oscillating “Gilbert” magnetic dipole isE'=μ0m0ω24πcsinθrcosωt-rcϕ^ and B'=μ0m0ω24πc2sinθrcosωct-rcϕ^, and the equations 11.36 and 11.37 are identical to the fields of an ampere dipole.

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 field produced by an oscillating “Gilbert” magnetic dipole:

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

  • First equation:

E'=Ecos90°+cBsin90°E'=cB........(1)

  • Second equation:

cB'=cBcos90°-Esin90°cB'=-E.......(2)

  • Third equation:

cqe'=cqecos90°+qmsin90°cqe'=qm

  • Fourth equation:

qm'=qmcos90°-cqesin90°qn'=-cqe

Write the expression for the magnetic field using the equation .

B=-μ0p0ω24πcsinθrcosωt-rcϕ^

Here,p0=-m0c .

Hence, the above equation becomes,

B=-μ0m0ω24πc2sinθrcosωt-rcϕ^

Substitute B=-μ0m0ω24πc2sinθrcosωt-rcϕ^in equation (1).

E'=c-μ0m0ω24πc2sinθrcosωt-rcϕ^E'=μ0m0ω24πcsinθrcosωt-rcϕ^

03

Determine the magnetic field produced by an oscillating “Gilbert” magnetic dipole:

Write the expression for an electric field using the equation .

E=μ0m0ω24πcsinθrcosωt-rcϕ^

Substitute E=μ0m0ω24πcsinθrcosωt-rcϕ^in equation (2).

B'=1c-μ0m0ω24πcsinθrcosωt-rcϕ^B'=-μ0m0ω24πc2sinθrcosωct-rcϕ^

Hence, these are identical to the fields of an ampere dipole.

Therefore, the fields that would be produced by an oscillating “Gilbert” magnetic dipole isE'=μ0m0ω24πcsinθrcosωt-rcϕ^ andB'=-μ0m0ω24πc2sinθrcosωct-rcϕ^ and the equations 11.36 and 11.37 are identical to the fields of an ampere dipole.

A charged particle, traveling in from along the x axis, encounters a rectangular potential energy barrier

U(x)={U0,if0<x<L,0,otherwise}

Show that, because of the radiation reaction, it is possible for the particle to tunnel through the barrier-that is, even if the incident kinetic energy is less thanU0, the particle can pass through 26.[Hint: Your task is to solve the equation

a=τa˙+Fm

Subject to the force

F(x)=U0[δ(x)+δ(xL)]

Refer to Probs. 11.19 and 11.31, but notice that this time the force is a specified function ofx, nott. There are three regions to consider: (i)x<0, (ii) 0<x<L, (iii)x>L. Find the general solution fora(t), υ(t), andx(t)in each region, exclude the runaway in region (iii), and impose the appropriate boundary conditions at x=0andx=L. Show that the final velocity (υf)is related to the time spent traversing the barrier by the equation

,L=υfTU0mυf(τeT/τ+Tτ)

and the initial velocity (atx=) is

υi=υfU0mυf[111+υ0mvf2(eT/τ1)]

To simplify these results (since all we're looking for is a specific example), suppose the final kinetic energy is half the barrier height. Show that in this case

υi=υf1(L/υfτ)

In particular, if you choose L=υfτ/4 , then υi=(4/3)υf, the initial kinetic energy is (8/9)U0, and the particle makes it through, even though it didn't have sufficient energy to get over the barrier!]

As a model for electric quadrupole radiation, consider two oppositely oriented oscillating electric dipoles, separated by a distance d, as shown in figure in Fig. 11.19. Use the results of Sect. 11.1.2 for the potentials of each dipole, but note that they are not located at the origin. Keeping only the terms of first order in d:

(a) Find the scalars and vector potentials

(b) Find the electric and magnetic fields.

(c) Find the pointing vector and the power radiated

Find the angle θmax at which the maximum radiation is emitted, in Ex. 11.3 (Fig. 11.13). Show that for ultra relativistic speeds ( υclose toc), θmax(1β)/2. What is the intensity of the radiation in this maximal direction (in the ultra relativistic case), in proportion to the same quantity for a particle instantaneously at rest? Give your answer in terms ofγ.

Equation 11.14 can be expressed in “coordinate-free” form by writing p0cosθ=p0·r^. Do so, and likewise for Eqs. 11.17, 11.18. 11.19, and 11.21.

Deduce Eq. 11.100 from Eq. 11.99. Here are three methods:

(a) Use the Abraham-Lorentz formula to determine the radiation reaction on each end of the dumbbell; add this to the interaction term (Eq. 11.99).

(b) Method (a) has the defect that it uses the Abraham-Lorentz formula—the very thing that we were trying to derive. To avoid this,F(q) let be the total d-independent part of the self-force on a charge q. Then

F(q)=Fint(q)+2F(q2)

WhereFint is the interaction part (Eq. 11.99), andF(q2) is the self-force on each end. Now,F(q) must be proportional to q2, since the field is proportional to q and the force is qE. SoF(q2)=(14)F(q) Take it from there.

(c) Smear out the charge along a strip of length L oriented perpendicular to the motion (the charge density, then, is λ=qL); find the cumulative interaction force for all pairs of segments, using Eq. 11.99 (with the correspondence q2λdy, at one end and at the other). Make sure you don’t count the same pair twice.
