Solutions of Examples for Practice

Example 1.6.3
Solution : The origin O (0, 0, 0) while P (3, 3, 2) hence the distance vector OP is,
OP = ( 3 - 0) a x + ( -3 - 0) a y + ( -2 - 0) a z = 3 a x - 3 a y - 2 a z
\
OP
2
2
( 3) 2 + ( - 3) + ( - 2) = 4.6904
Hence the unit vector along the direction OP is,

3ax - 3ay - 2az
OP
a OP =
=
4.6904
| OP|
= 0.6396 a x 0.6396 a y 0.4264 a z
Example 1.6.4
Solution : The starting point is A and terminating point is B.
Now
\
A = 2 a x + 2 a y + a z and B = 3 a x - 4 a y + 2 a z
AB = B - A = ( 3 - 2) a x + ( -4 - 2) a y + ( 2 - 1) a z
\
AB = a x - 6 a y + a z
This is the vector directed from A to B.
Now
AB = (1) 2 + ( - 6) + (1) 2 = 6.1644

Thus unit vector directed from A to B is,

ax - 6ay +az
AB
a AB =
=
6.1644
AB
= 0.1622 a x 0.9733 a y + 0.1622 a z
It can be cross checked that magnitude of this unit vector is unity i.e.
( 0.1622) 2 + ( - 0.9733) 2 + ( 0.1622) 2 = 1.

Example 1.7.3
Kept this unsolved example for student's practice.
Example 1.7.4

The bottom surface area S 2 is same as S 1 i.e. p R 2 . For remaining surface area consider the
differential surface area normal to r direction which is r df dz.

Example 1.8.4
Example 1.8.5
Solution : Consider the spherical shell of radius a hence r = a is constant.
Consider differential surface area normal to r direction which is radially outward.
dS r = r 2 sin q dq df = a 2 sin q dq df ... as r = a
But f is varying between 0 to a while for spherical shell q varies from 0 to p.

sin q dq df = a 2 [ - cos q ] 0 [f] 0
- cos p - ( - cos 0) a = 2 a 2 a
So area of the region is 2
a 2 a.
If a = 2 p, the area of the region becomes 4 p a 2 , as the shell becomes complete sphere of
radius a when f varies from 0 to 2 p .

Example 1.10.6
Solution : The dot product is,
A B = A x Bx + A y By + A z Bz
= ( 2 3) + ( -5)(5) + ( -4)( 2) = -27
As A B is negative, it is expected that the angle between the two is greater than 90.

2
16 + B 2y + B 2z = 5.6568
i.e.
B 2y + B 2z = 16
This is the required relation between B y and B z .

Solution : The volume bounded by the given planes is a cube. To evaluate total charge
use Gauss's law.
Q = D dS
But to evaluate D d S, it is necessary to consider all six faces of the cube. Let us find dS
for each surface.
1) Front surface (x = 2), dS = dy dz, direction = a x , dS = dy dz a x
2) Back surface ( x = 1), dS = dy dz, direction = - a x , dS = dy dz a x
3) Right side (y = 3), dS = dx dz, direction = a y , dS = dx dz a y
4) Left side (y = 2), dS = dx dz, direction = - a y , dS = dx dz a y
5) Top side (z = 4), dS = dx dy, direction = a z , dS = dx dy a z
6) Bottom side (z = 3), dS = dx dy, direction = - a z , dS = dx dy a z

Any point on z axis is (0, 0, z) while point P at which E to be calculated is ( 2, 0, 0).

Now there is no charge between 5 to 5 hence to find E, dE to be integrated in two zones

E =

Looking at the symmetry it can be observed that z component of E produced by charge

between 5 to will cancel the z component of E produced by charge between 5 to - .
Hence for integration a z component from dE can be neglected.

To find cylindrical co-ordinates find the dot product of E with a r , a f and a z , at point P,

Hence the cylindrical co-ordinate systems E is,

Consider any point on line charge i.e. (x, 0, 0) while P (1, 5, 2). But as line is along x-axis,
no component of E will be along a x direction. Hence while calculating r and a r , do not
consider x co-ordinates of the points.

Note that the r v is dependent on the variable r. Hence though the charge

distribution is sphere of radius 'a' we can not obtain Q just by multiplying r v by p a 3
3
Solution :
as r v is not constant. As it depends on r, it is necessary to consider differential volume dv

and integrating from r = 0 to a, total Q must be obtained. Thus if r v depends on r, do
not use standard results.

Solution : The charges are shown in the Fig. 3.6. Consider line charge along x-axis. Any
point Q on this charge is (x, 0, 0). As the charge is infinite along x axis, E and hence D

Consider any point Q on charge along y axis.
Hence Q (0, y, 0) and P (3, 3, 3). There is no component of E hence D along a y direction
as charge is along y axis. So do not consider y co-ordinate.

Alternatively find the equations for straight line path from B to A by using,

( x - x B ) and z - z B = y A - y B ( y - y B )

and using the relations between x, y and z solve the integrals. From the above equations
we get, x = 11 y + 15 and z = y + 3 so use y interms of x for first integral and x
interms of y for the second integral and integrate.

where VO = 100 V
\
VP2 = 118.5417 + 100 = 18.5417 V
This is absolute potential of P due to line charge 2
\
VP = VP1 + VP2 = 50.16 18.5417 = 31.6183 V
Note Students can use the method of using consant C to find absolute potential of P due
to line charge 1 and line charge 2. Adding the two, potential of P can be obtained. The
answer remains same. For reference, the constant C 1 = C 2 = 215.721 for both the line
charges.

b) To find potential at any point on z axis.

... z varies from 0.5 to z for points B to A.
z = - 0.5

But
VAB = VA - VB

VB is potential at z = 0.5 which
V(z)
is zero.

The graph of V(z) as a function of z is

For z > 1.5 and z < 0.5, the potential is

zero as E is zero in that region.

To find k1 : At t = 0, initial velocity in z-direction is zero.

Let us consider initial constant velocity in x-direction, the charge attains x co-ordinate of,

Hence at t = 3 msec, the position of charge is given by,
P(x, y, z) = (0.9, 0, 0.135) m

dS = ( 4 a x ) ( 4 a y ) = 16 a z m 2
Hence the magnetic torque at origin is given by,

b) A(0, 0, 0) and B = 200 a x + 100 a y mT :

In one minute there are 1500 revolutions which corresponds to 25 revolutions in one
second. The distance covered in one second is ( 2pr ) meter. Hence in 25 revolutions the
distance travelled is (50pr ) meter. The conductor rotates in f-direction. Hence linear
velocity is given by,
v = (50pr ) a f = 50p 25 10 -2 a f = 39.27 a f m/s

Thus we have E 0 which indicates that the given electric field E is not static. But we
can have a static field only if the charge distribution is static. From above calculation it is

k is expressed in V/m 2 . While in part (b), k is the part of expression of D which is
expressed in m C/m 2 . k is multiplied by z which is expressed in m, in expression of D.
Hence k is expressed in mC/m 2 .

When an EM wave is in medium 1 i.e. free space, the wavelength is l 1 = 0.2 m, while
when it is in medium 2 i.e. perfect dielectric, the wavelength changes to l 2 = 0.09 m. But
in both the media, the frequency of an EM wave remains constant i.e. f.

The transmitted wave is in medium 2. For medium 2, h 2 = 188.36 W. As the incident wave

x = r sin q cos f, y = r sin q sin f, z = r cos q

B q = 2r sin q cos q sin f cos f + r cos 2 q sin f

Electromagnetic Field Theory

B f = r sin q sin 2 f + r sin q cos 2 f + r cos q cos f

B f = + r sin q cos 2 q + r cos q cos f

cos 2 f sin 2 f = cos 2 q

At Q, r = 7, q = 64.623, f = 108.435 hence B at Q is,

Ar = 2r sin f cos f + z sin f = r sin 2 f + z sin f

A = [r sin 2 f + z sin f] a r + [r cos 2 f + z cos f] a f + 0 a z

[yz ] = 2y + 0 + 2zy = 2y + 2yz
