1.27| The important dipole field (to be addressed in Chapter 4) is expressed in
spherical coordinates as
E =4 (2 cos 0 a, + sin 0 ag)
where A is a constant, and where r> 0. See Figure 4.9 for a sketch.
(a) Identify the surface on which the field is entirely perpendicular to the xy
plane and express the field on that surface in cylindrical coordinates.
(b) Identify the coordinate axis on which the field is entirely perpendicular
to the xy plane and express the field there in cylindrical coordinates.
(c) Specify the surface on which the field is entirely parallel to the xy plane.
Problem 2.20 One of these is an impossible electrostatic field. Which one?
(a) E= k[xy x + 2yz y + 3xz 2];
(b) E= k[y² + (2xy + z²)ŷ + 2yz2].
Here k is a constant with the appropriate units. For the possible one, find the poten-
tial, using the origin as your reference point. Check your answer by computing VV.
[Hint: You must select a specific path to integrate along. It doesn't matter what path
you choose, since the answer is path-independent, but you simply cannot integrate
unless you have a definite path in mind.]
