PROBLEM 1 SOLUTION:

(a) A uniformly charged solid sphere of radius R carries a total charge Q, hence it has 4 3 charge ρ = Q/( 3 πR ). To find the magnetic moment of sphere we can divide the sphere into infinitesimal charges. Using spherical polar coordinates, we can take dq = ρ dτ = ρr2 dr sin θ dθ dφ, with the contribution to the dipole moment given by 1 ×  dm = 2r J dτ. One method would be to write down the volume integral directly, using J = ρv = ρω × r. We can, however, integrate over φ before we start, so we are breaking the sphere into rings, where a given ring is indicated by its coordinates r and θ, and its size dr and dθ. The volume of each ring is dτ =2πr2 dr sin θ dθ.The current dI in the ring is given by dq/T ,whereT =2π/ω is the period, so

dq ωρdτ dI = = = ωρr2 dr sin θ dθ. (1.2) T 2π 8.07 QUIZ 2 SOLUTIONS, FALL 2012 p. 2

The moment of each ring is then given by   1 1 2 2 dm ring = r × J dτ = dI r × d =dI(πr sin θ)ˆz. (1.3) 2 ring 2 ring

The total magnetic dipole moment is then  m = ωρr2 sin θ (πr2 sin2 θ)dr dθ zˆ

(b) The vector potential in dipole approximation is,

µ m × r µ |m | sin θ µ QωR2 sin θ A =0 = 0 φˆ = 0 φ.ˆ (1.5) 4π r3 4π r2 4π 5 r2

(c) To calculate the exact vector potential inside the sphere, we split the sphere into shells. Let r be the integration variable and the radius of a shell, moreover let dr denote the thickness of the shell. Then we can use the results of Example 5.11 (pp. 236-37) in Griffiths, if we replace σ by its value for this case. The value of σ is found equating charges Q σ(4πr2)= (4πr2)dr (1.6) 4 3 3 πR and therefore we must replace

Q σ → dr . 4 3 3 πR Making this replacement in Griffiths’ Eq. (5.67), quoted above as Eq. (1.1), we now have   rr if rr . 3 r2 Note that the R of Griffiths has been replaced by r, which is the radius of the integration shell. Now we can calculate the vector potential inside the sphere at 8.07 QUIZ 2 SOLUTIONS, FALL 2012 p. 3

PROBLEM 2: SPHERE WITH VARIABLE CONSTANT (35 points)

A dielectric sphere of radius R has variable , so the permittivity throughout space is described by  (R/r)2 if rR. There are no free charges anywhere in this problem. The sphere is embedded in a constant external electric field E = E0zˆ, which means that V (r ) ≡−E0r cos θ for r  R. (a) (9 points) Show that V (r) obeys the differential equation

dln ∂V ∇2V + =0. (2.2) dr ∂r

(b) (4 points) Explain why the solution can be written as

∞ {} V (r, θ)= V(r) zˆi1 ...zˆi rˆi1 ...rˆi , (2.3a) =0

or equivalently (your choice)

∞ V (r, θ)= V(r)P(cos θ) , (2.3b) =0

where { ...} denotes the traceless symmetric part of ... ,andP(cos θ)istheLeg- endre polynomial. (Your answer here should depend only on general mathematical principles, and should not rely on the explicit solution that you will find in parts (c) and (d).) 8.07 QUIZ 2 SOLUTIONS, FALL 2012 p. 4

(c) (9 points) Derive the ordinary differential equation obeyed by V(r)(separatelyfor rR) and give its two independent solutions in each region. Hint: they are powers of r. You may want to know that

d dP(cos θ) sin θ = −( +1)sinθP(cos θ) . (2.4) dθ dθ

The relevant formulas for the traceless symmetric tensor formalism are in the formula sheets. (d) (9 points) Using appropriate boundary conditions on V (r, θ)atr =0,r = R,and r →∞, determine V (r, θ)forrR. (e) (4 points) What is the net dipole moment of the polarized sphere?

PROBLEM 2 SOLUTION:

(a) Since we don’t have free charges anywhere,

∇·D  = ∇· (E ), = E · (∇ )+∇· E =0. (2.5)

d The permittivity only depends on r,sowecanwrite∇  = eˆr. Then putting this dr result into Eq. (2.5) with E = −∇ V , we find

d 2 0=(∇ V ) · eˆr + ∇ V dr ∂V d 1 = + ∇2V ∂r dr 

∂V dln =⇒ 0= + ∇2V. (2.6) ∂r dr

(b) With an external field along the z-axis, the problem has azimuthal symmetry, imply- ing ∂V/∂φ =0,soV = V (r, θ). The Legendre polynomials P(cos θ)areacomplete set of functions of the polar angle θ for 0 ≤ θ ≤ π, implying that at each value of r, V (r, θ) can be expanded in a Legendre series. In general, the coefficients may be functions of r,sowecanwrite ∞ V (r, θ)= V(r)P(cos θ) . (2.7) =0 8.07 QUIZ 2 SOLUTIONS, FALL 2012 p. 5

{ } The same argument holds for an expansion in zˆi1 ...zˆi rˆi1 ...rˆi , since these are in fact the same functions, up to a multiplicative constant. Note that if  depended on θ as well as r, then the completeness argument would still be valid, and it would still be possible to write V (r, θ) as in Eqs. (2.3). In that case, however, the equations for the functions V(r) would become coupled to each other, making them much more difficult to solve. dln 2 (c) For r

2 1 ∂ 2 ∂V dV 2 ( +1) d V ( +1) r + − − V = − V =0. (2.9) r2 ∂r ∂r dr r r2 dr2 r2

The general solution to Eq. (2.9) is

+1 B V(r)=A  r + . (2.10) r

(This can be verified by inspection, but it can also be found by assuming a trial p function in the form of a power, V ∝ r . Inserting the trial function into the differential equation, one finds p(p − 1) = ( +1) . One might see by inspection that this is solved by p =  +1orp = −, or one can solve it as a quadratic equation, finding 1 ± (2 +1) p = =  +1or − .) 2 For r>R,   1 ∂ 2 ∂V (  +1) r − V =0. (2.11) r2 ∂r ∂r r2 The general solution to Eq. (2.11) is,

 D V(r)= Cr + . (2.12) r+1 8.07 QUIZ 2 SOLUTIONS, FALL 2012 p. 6

(d) The coefficients B are zero, B = 0, to avoid a singularity at r =0. Thepotential goes as V (r)=−E0r cos θ for r  R;thisgivesC = 0except for C1 = −E0.The potential V (r, θ) is continuous at r = R, implying that   +1 D    A R = +1 for  =1 R (2.13)  D1 A R2 = −E R + for  =1. 1 0 R2 In addition, the normal component of the displacement vector is continuous on the boundary of the sphere. Since  is continuous at r = R, this means that Er = −∂V/∂r is continuous, which one could also have deduced from Eq. (2.2), since any discontinuity in ∂V/∂r would produce a δ-function in ∂2V/∂r2. Setting ∂V/∂r at r = R− equal to its value at r = R+, we find    D   −  ( +1)AR = ( +1) +2 for  =1 R (2.14)  D1 2A R = −2 − E for  =1 . 1 R3 0 Solving Eq. (2.13) and Eq. (2.14) as two equations (for each ) for the two unknowns A and D,weseethatA = D =0for =1,andthat 3E E R3 A = − 0 ,C= −E, and D = 0 . (2.15) 1 4R 1 0 1 4 Then we find the potential as   3E r2  − 0 cos θ for r

(e) Eq. (2.16) tells us that for r>R, the potential is equal to that of the applied external field, Vext = −E0r cos θ, plus a term that we attribute to the sphere: E R3 V (r, θ)= 0 cos θ.

PROBLEM 3: PAIR OF MAGNETIC (20 points)

Suppose there are two magnetic dipoles. One has dipole moment m 1 = m0zˆ and 1 − is located at r 1 =+2 a zˆ; the other has dipole moment m 2 = m0zˆ, and is located at − 1 r 2 = 2 a zˆ. (a) (10 points) For a point on the z axis at large z, find the leading (in powers of 1/z) behavior for the vector potential A(0, 0,z) and the magnetic field B (0, 0,z). (b) (3 points) In the language of monopole ( =0),dipole( =1),( =2), octupole ( = 3), etc., what type of field is produced at large distances by this current configuration? In future parts, the answer to this question will be called a whatapole. (c) (3 points) We can construct an ideal whatapole — a whatapole of zero size — by n taking the limit as a → 0, keeping m0a fixed, for some power n. What is the correct value of n? (d) (4 points) Given the formula for the of a dipole,

  3 Jdip(r)=−m × ∇ r δ (r − r d) , (3.1)

where r d is the position of the dipole, find an expression for the current density of the whatapole constructed in part (c). Like the above equation, it should be expressed in terms of δ-functions and/or derivatives of δ-functions, and maybe even higher derivatives of δ-functions.

PROBLEM 3 SOLUTION: (a) For the vector potential, we have from the formula sheet that µ m × rˆ A(r)= 0 , (3.2) 4π r2

which vanishes on axis, since m = m0zˆ,andrˆ=ˆz on axis. Thus, A(0, 0,z)=0. (3.3)

This does not mean that B = 0, however, since B depends on derivatives of A with respect to x and y. From the formula sheet we have µ 3(m · rˆ)ˆr− m B (r)= 0 , (3.4) dip 4π r3 wherewehavedroppedtheδ-function because we are interested only in r =0. Evaluating this expression on the positive z axis, where rˆ =ˆz, we find µ 2m zˆ µ m zˆ B (0, 0,z)= 0 0 = 0 0 . (3.5) dip 4π r3 2π r3 8.07 QUIZ 2 SOLUTIONS, FALL 2012 p. 8

For 2 dipoles, we have   µ m 1 1  0 0  −   B2dip(0, 0,z)= 3 3 zˆ 2π z − 1 a z + 1 a  2 2  µ m 1 1 = 0 0   −   zˆ 2πz3 1 a 3 1 a 3 1 − z 1+ z  2 2  µ m 1 1 ≈ 0 0  −   zˆ 3 − 3 a 3 a 2πz 1 2 z 1+ 2 z   µ m 3 a 3 a ≈ 0 0 1+ − 1 − zˆ 2πz3 2 z 2 z  µ m a ≈ 0 0 3 zˆ 2πz3 z

3µ m a = 0 0 z.ˆ (3.6) 4πz4

(b) Since it falls off as 1/z4, it is undoubtedly a quadrupole ( =2). For either the E or B fields, the monopole falls off as 1/r2, the dipole as 1/r3, and the quadrupole as 1/r4. (c) We wish to take the limit as a → 0in such a way that the field at large z approaches a constant, without blowing up or going to zero. From Eq. (3.6), we see that this

goal will be accomplished by keeping m0a fixed, which means n =1. (d) For the two-dipole system we add together the two contributions to the current density, using the appropriate values of r d and m :      − × ∇ 3 − a × ∇ 3 − a J2dip(r )= m0zˆ r δ r 2 zˆ + m0 zˆ r δ r 2 zˆ . (3.7)

Rewriting,   3 a −3 − a δ (r + 2 zˆ) δ (r 2 zˆ) J (r )=m azˆ × ∇ r . (3.8) 2dip 0 a

Now we can define Q ≡ m0a, and if we take the limit a → 0with Q fixed, the above expression becomes

∂ 3 J (r )=Qzˆ × ∇ r δ (r) . (3.9) 2dip ∂z 8.07 QUIZ 2 SOLUTIONS, FALL 2012 p. 9

Since partial derivatives commute, this could alternatively be written as

∂ 3 J (r )=Qzˆ × ∇ r δ (r) . (3.10) 2dip ∂z

PROBLEM 4: UNIFORMLY MAGNETIZED INFINITE CYLINDER (10 points)

Consider a uniformly magnetized infinite circular cylinder, of radius R, with its axis coinciding with the z axis. The inside the cylinder is M = M0zˆ. (a) (5 points) Find H (r ) everywhere in space. (b) (5 points) Find B (r) everywhere in space.

PROBLEM 4 SOLUTION:

(a) The magnetization inside the cylinder is M = M0zˆ.ThecurloftheH (r)fieldis

∇×H  (r)=Jfree =0, (4.1)

and the divergence is   B (r) 1 ∇·H  ( r)=∇· − M ( r) = ∇·B  − ∇· M =0. (4.2) µ0 µ0

Note that for a finite length cylinder, the divergence would be nonzero because of the abrupt change in M at the boundaries. Since H (r) is divergenceless and curl-free, we can say

H (r) = 0everywhere in space. (4.3)

(b) Having H (r) = 0everywhere in space, we can find magnetic field as

B (r ) µ M zˆ for rR .

In this question we could alternatively find the bound currents as Jb = ∇×M  =0and Kb = M  × nˆ = M0φˆ. Then, using Amp`ere’s law as we did for a , we could find the magnetic field and then also H , obtaining the same answers as above. 8.07 QUIZ 2 SOLUTIONS, FALL 2012 p. 10

PROBLEM 5: ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC UNIFORMLY POLARIZED SPHERES (10 points)

Compare the electric field of a uniformly polarized sphere with the magnetic field of a uniformly magnetized sphere; in each case the dipole moment per unit volume points along zˆ. Multiple choice: which of the following is true? (a) The E and B field lines point in the same direction both inside and outside the spheres. (b) The E and B field lines point in the same direction inside the spheres but in opposite directions outside. (c) The E and B field lines point in opposite directions inside the spheres but in the same direction outside. (d) The E and B field lines point in opposite directions both inside and outside the spheres.

PROBLEM 5 SOLUTION:

E field of a uniformly B field of a uniformly polarized sphere magnetized sphere

The answer is (c), E and B field lines point in opposite directions inside the spheres but in the same direction outside, as shown in the diagrams, which were scanned from the first edition of Jackson. Note that the diagram on the left shows clearly that ∇·E  =0 at the boundary of the sphere, so it could not possibly be a picture of B . Itisatleast visually consistent with ∇×E  =0,orequivalently E · d = 0for any closed loop, as it must be to describe an electrostatic field. The diagram on the right, on the other hand, shows clearly that ∇×B  =0,orequivalently B · d =0,soitcouldnotpossiblybea picture of an electrostatic field. It is at least qualitatively consistent with ∇·B  =0,as it must be. 8.07 FORMULA SHEET FOR QUIZ 2, V. 2, FALL 2012 p. 11
