[YMP/EM-02012] Average Value of Electric Field

Node id: 6021page

Problem

A solid sphere of radius \(R\) carries a charge density \(\rho(\vec{r})\). Show that the average of the electric field inside the sphere is \[\vec{E}= - \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \frac{\vec{p}}{R^3},\] where \(\vec{p}\) is the total dipole moment of the sphere.

[YMP/EM-02011] Overlapping Spheres -II

Node id: 6024article
Problem
Two spheres each of radius $R$ are placed so that they partially overlap. The charge densities in the overlap region is zero and in the two non overlapping regions is $+\rho$ and $-\rho$ respectively as shown in figure. The separation between the centers of the spheres is $D$.Find the electric field in the two non-overlap regions.

Node id: 6022page
 

Show that the electric field of a uniformly charged sphere, radius \(R\), total charge \(Q\) has the magnitude given by\[E= \begin{cases}  E_0 x &   x< 1  \\ E_0/x^2 &  x>1 \end{cases}\]where \(E_0= \dfrac{Q}{4\pi\epsilon_0 R^2 }\)   and \(x=\dfrac{r}{R}\).

[YMP/EM-02008] Electric Field Due to a Dipole

Node id: 6013page

A dipole is a system of two equal and opposite charges separated by a distance. Its electric field is computed and the field at large distances depends only on the dipole moment, defined as the product of the charge and separation between the charges.

While dipole is a system of two charges, the concept of dipole moment is defined and is useful for any system of charges  with total zero charge.

[YMP/EM-02004] Electric Field due to a Line with Uniform Charge Density

Node id: 6016page

Let \(AB\) be a line charge with charge per unit length $\lambda$, which is given to be uniform. The field is to be computed at a point \(P\),. Let \(p\) be the perpendicular distance of \(P\) from the line \(AB\). let \(\alpha, \beta\) be the angles as shown in the figure. Electric field will be calculated at a general point \(P\), the corner point \(C\) and the middle point \(M\) as shown in figure below.

[YMP/EM-02003] Dipole Moment of Overlapping Spheres

Node id: 6015page
Two spheres each of radius $R$ are placed so that they partially overlap. The charge densities in the overlap region is zero. Outside the overlap region but inside the spheres the charge densities in the two non overlapping   regions are $+\rho$ and $-\rho$, respectively, as shown in figure. The charge density in the overlap region will be zero. The separation between the centers of the spheres is $D$.

Overlapping uniformly charged spheres

  1. Guess the value of the dipole moment?
  2. Compute the dipole moment of the system and check the correctness of the expression you guessed.
  3. How will the dipole moment change if the two spheres equal and opposite total charges but have different radii \(a,b, a \ne b\).

[YMP/EM-04008] Force Between the Hemispheres Parts of a Uniformly Charged Sphere

Node id: 5929page

A conducting spherical shell of radius \(R\) is placed in a uniform electric field along the \(Z\)- axis.A plane  perpendicular to the electric field divides the shell into two equal halves. Show that  the Coulomb force acting on the hemispherical surfaces which tends to separate them is  across the diametral plane perpendicular to \(\vec E\) is given by
\[ F = \tfrac{9}{4}\pi \epsilon_0 R^2 E_0^2\]

[YMP/EM-04001] Grounded Conducting Sphere and a Point Charge

Node id: 5923page

Two point charges \(Q\) and \(Q^\prime\) are located at positions given by \(\vec{a}, \vec{b},  (a\ne b) \). Find the conditions on \(Q, Q^\prime, a, b \)  so that the potential on the surface of a sphere of radius \(R\) with center at the origin may be zero.

Note the result of this problem is used in solution for electric potential of a grounded conducting sphere in presence of a point charge by the method of images.

[NOTES/EM-01009] From Action at a Distance to Field Concept

Node id: 5952page

The concept of electric field to describe the interaction of charged particles is briefly explained. Instead of the Coulomb interaction, which is an instantaneous action, we say a charge produces electric field which in turn acts on another charge  present at some other point. Similarly the magnetic force on a current, or a moving charged particle is described in terms of magnetic field produced by a magnet or a current..
