    The document outlines the topics and problems for an EMLR course assignment. It includes 6 problems related to electric and magnetic fields, dielectrics, and vector potentials. The problems cover topics like the energy of a charged spherical conductor surrounded by a dielectric, Snell's law at a dielectric interface, the height oil rises between coaxial metal tubes, and vector potentials for a spinning charged sphere and a magnetized cylinder.

    EMLR Course-Monsoon Semester

    Assignment-3

    Deadline- 15th November, 2023
    Assigned date- 6th November, 2023

    1. A spherical conductor of radius c, carries a charge Q. It is surrounded


    by linear dielectric material of susceptibility χe , out to radius d. Find
    the energy of this configuration. [5]

    2. At the interface between one linear dielectric and another, the electric
    field lines bend . Show that

    tan θ2 θ2
    =
    tan θ1 θ1
    assuming there is no free charge at the boundary.
    If we think of the above equation as analogous to of Snell’s law in op-
    tics. Would a convex “lens” of dielectric material tend to “focus,” or
    “defocus,” the electric field? [4+1]
    3. Two long coaxial cylindrical metal tubes (inner radius b, outer radius a)
    stand vertically in a tank of dielectric oil (susceptibility χe , mass density
    ρ). The inner one is maintained at potential V, and the outer one is
    grounded. To what height (h) does the oil rise, in the space between the
    tubes? [10]

    4. A dielectric sphere of radius R has variable permittivity, so the permit-
    tivity throughout space is described by
    (
    ϵ0 (R/r)2 , if r < R
    ϵ(r) =
    ϵ0 , if r > R

    There are no free charges anywhere in this problem. The sphere is


    ⃗ = E0 ẑ, which means
    embedded in a constant external electric field E
    that V (⃗r) ≡ − E0 r cos θ for r ≫ R.
    Show that V (⃗r) obeys the differential equation
    dlnϵ ∂V
    ∇2 V + =0
    dr ∂r
    [5]
    5. A uniformly charged solid sphere of radius R carries a total charge Q,
    and is set spinning with angular velocity ω about the z axis.
    (a) What is the magnetic dipole moment of the sphere? [10]
    ⃗ r) at
    (b) Using the dipole approximation, what is the vector potential A(⃗
    large distances? (Remember that A ⃗ is a vector, so it is not enough
    to merely specify its magnitude.) [5]

    2
    (c) Find the exact vector potential INSIDE the sphere. [10]
    6. Consider a uniformly magnetized infinite circular cylinder, of radius R,
    with its axis coinciding with the z axis. The magnetization inside the
    ⃗ = M0 ẑ.
    cylinder is M
    ⃗ r) everywhere in space. [5]
    (a) Find H(⃗
    ⃗ r) everywhere in space. [5]
    (b) Find B(⃗
