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 radio tower rises to height h above flat horizontal ground. At the top is a magnetic dipole antenna, of radius b, with its axis vertical. FM station KRUD broadcasts from this antenna at (angular) frequency ω, with a total radiated power P (that’s averaged, of course, over a full cycle). Neighbors have complained about problems they attribute to excessive radiation from the tower—interference with their stereo systems, mechanical garage doors opening and closing mysteriously, and a variety of suspicious medical problems. But the city engineer who measured the radiation level at the base of the tower found it to be well below the accepted standard. You have been hired by the Neighborhood Association to assess the engineer’s report.

(a) In terms of the variables given (not all of which may be relevant), find the formula for the intensity of the radiation at ground level, a distance R from the base of the tower. You may assume that bc/ωh. [Note: We are interested only in the magnitude of the radiation, not in its direction—when measurements are taken, the detector will be aimed directly at the antenna.]

(b) How far from the base of the tower should the engineer have made the measurement? What is the formula for the intensity at this location?

(c) KRUD’s actual power output is 35 kilowatts, its frequency is 90 MHz, the antenna’s radius is 6 cm, and the height of the tower is 200 m. The city’s radio-emission limit is 200 microwatts/cm2. Is KRUD in compliance?

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.

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

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.
