Find the charge and current distributions that would give rise to the potentials
V=0,={0k4c(ct-|x|)2hat(z),for|x|ct,
where k is a constant, and c=1lon002.
Solution: First we'll determine the electric and magnetic fields, using Eqs. 10.2 and 10.3:
E=-delAdelt=-0k2(ct-|x|)hat(z),
B=gradA=-0k4cdeldelx(ct-|x|)2hat(y)=+-0k2c(ct-|x|)hat(y),
(plus for x>0, minus for x0). These are for |x|>ct,E=B=0grad*E=0;,grad*B=0;,gradE=0k2hat(y);,gradB=-0k2chat(z);
delEdelt=-0kc2hat(z);,delBdelt=+-0k2hat(y).JBx=0Kyzkthat(y)=Khat(x),K=kthat(z).zx=0t=0t|x|>ct|x|; when |x|>ct,E=B=0
(Fig.10.1). Calculating every derivative in sight, I find
grad*E=0;,grad*B=0;,gradE=0k2hat(y);,gradB=-0k2chat(z);
delEdelt=-0kc2hat(z);,delBdelt=+-0k2hat(y).
As you can easily check, Maxwell's equations are all satisfied, with and J both zero. Notice,
however, that B has a discontinuity atx=0, and this signals the presence of a surface current
Kin the yz plane; boundary condition (iv)inEq.7.63 gives
kthat(y)=Khat(x),
and hence
K=kthat(z).
Evidently we have here a uniform surface current flowing in the z direction over the plane
x=0, which starts upatt=0, and increases in proportion tot. Notice that the news travels
out (in both directions)at the speed of light: for points |x|>ct the message (that current is
now flowing) has not yet arrived, so the fields are zero.
