    Solutions to I E Irodov Electrodynamics


    Electromagnetism has had a profound effect on human civilization. Power generated from large electric
    generators is distributed around the world bringing light into our lives. Maxwell united electricity to
    magnetism and uncovered the true nature of light. He also arguably motivated Einstein into developing
    relativity. Hopefully solving Irodov's problems will deepen your appreciation of the beauty and power of
    Maxwell's equations.

    The easiest way to solve this problem is to choose a coordinate system


    where the xaxis is oriented in the direction of the vector
    such a coordinate system the vector

    . In

    can be simply written as

    . The charge density of the sphere is then given by,

    Now any point on the surface of the sphere can be represented by two

    angles, namely the azimuthal angle


    and the inclination angle
    as shown in the figure. The coordinates of this point are then given by,

    Now consider an infinitesimally small rectangular section on the sphere


    that subtends azimuthal and inclination angles of

    and

    respectively. The dimensions of the rectangle are given by

    and

    as shown in the figure. The area of this rectangle is thus


    given by,

    The charge contained in this infinitesimally small section of the sphere


    surface is given by,

    The electric field due to this infinitesimally small section at the center

    is given by,

    Now recall that we had chosen a coordinate system where the xaxis
    was oriented along the vector

    . From the above solution it is clear

    that E is oriented along the xaxis, i.e. in the direction of


    .
    Hence, in general for a coordinate system the electric field can be
    written as,
