PHYS 321, Winter 2006
Electromagnetism I - Electrostatics Return to homework index Homework set 4 - due Feb 3
2.38 - Repulsion between hemispheres of a charged metal sphere
2.39 - Capacitance per unit length of a coaxial cable 2.40 - Work done moving parallel capacitor plates 3.1 - Find the average potential over a spherical surface Examples class week 52.37 - Pressure on parallel capacitor plates Bonus questionsB4.1 - Show that solving Laplace's equation is equivalent to minimizing the total electrostatic energy subject to the boundary conditions. Also, show that the potential V(r) can never have a maximum or a minimum in free space (proving Earnshaw's theorem). |
