á     Clear reasoning should be demonstrated in the solution development

á     Homework comprises

 

1. Make a sketch and describe each distribution below and calculate the electric field vector by direct integration on the distribution volume.

(a) In cylindrical coordinates, , with λ (C/m) representing a constant parameter.

(b) In cylindrical or rectangular coordinates , with  (C/m2) representing a constant parameter.

(c) In spherical coordinates , with


and  (C/m2) representing a constant parameter.

2. Where possible, use Gauss's law to calculate the electric flux density vector for the charge distributions of the previous question. If this is not possible, use symmetry operations and the superposition principle, to determine which components of D are present and on which coordinates these components depend.

3. Make the detailed calculation of the potential and electric field of the straight line of charge of lecture #5. Obtain the E-field from the potential function in the r >> l regime.

4. Make the detailed calculation of the potential and electric field of the charged disk of lecture #5. Obtain the E-field from the potential function in the a >> |z| regime.

5. Use the integral expression for the potential function to determine the function inside and outside of a sphere of radius a, having a charge density given by , with  (C/m3) representing a constant parameter.

6. Do the following problems of Chapter 2 of ref.[2]: 2.18, 2.19, 2.20, 2.22, 2.24, 2.25, 2.26, 2.31.

7. Determine the solution of Poisson's equation for the potential, for the following distributions:

(a) The charge distribution of Question 5.

(b) A spherical surface of radius a with constant charge surface density assuming that the permittivities inside and outside are ε0 and ε, respectively.

8. Solve the following problems in Chapter 3 of ref. [2]: 3.3, 3.4, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8
