Assignment Problems:
1. Given the vector current density J = 10ρ2zaρ − 4ρ cos2 φ aφ mA/m2: (a) find the current density
at P(ρ = 3, φ = 30◦, z = 2) and determine the total current flowing outward through the circular band
ρ = 3, 0 <φ< 2π, 2 < z < 2.8.
3. Given the potential field in free space, V = 100 sinh 5x sin 5y V, and a point P(0.1, 0.2, 0.3), find
at P: (a) V; (b) E; (c) |E|; (d) |ρS| if it is known that P lies on a conductor surface.
4. A perfectly conducting plane is located in free space at x = 4, and a uniform infinite line charge
of 40 nC/m lies along the line x = 6, y = 3. Let V = 0 at the conducting plane. At P(7, −1, 5) find:
(a) V; (b) E.
5. Let Region 1 (z < 0) be composed of a uniform dielectric material for which 𝜀 r = 3.2, while
Region 2 (z > 0) is characterized by 𝜀 r = 2. Let D1 = −30ax + 50ay + 70az nC/m2 and find: (a)
Dn1; (b) Dt1; (c) θ1; ( d ) P1; (e) Dn2; (e) Dt2; (f) P2; (g) θ2.
6. Consider a point charge above a grounded conducting plane as shown in Fig. 1 below. Find
Electric field intensity at point P(x, y, z). Also, determine surface charge density of induced
charge (at z=0) and total induced charge on the conducting plane.
Practice Problems:
1. A line charge within a conducting cylinder from book “Introduction to Electromagnetic Fields”, 3/e by
Clayton Paul, Syed A. Nasar (2007) – Available in Library, page 170-171
2. Problems with Infinite Images – Pg. 171-172 [Paul et. al] – Example: A point charge located in between two
grounded conducting plates.
3. A point charge outside a grounded conducting sphere – Pg. 124 [Griffiths] – Example 3.2
• Note that for the non-Cartesian geometries, the image charge might not be the equidistant from the
conducting surface
