Vector Analysis
Problem 1.1
(a) From the diagram, [B + C| cos63 = |B] cos@; + |C| cos. Multiply by [A].
|AI[B + C]cos@s = |Al|B|cosés + |A||C|cos és.
So: A-(B + C) = A-B+A-C. (Dot product is distributive.)
Similarly: |B + C|sin 05 = |B| sin, + |C|sin@,. Mulitply by |A| fi.
|A||B + C|sin 45 A = |Al|B|sin@; & + |Al/C|sin 8, a.
If fi is the unit vector pointing out of the page, it follows that
Ax(B + C) =(AXB) +(AXxC). (Cross product is distributive.) Bleosé, (Cleos ea
(b) For the general case, see G. B. Hay's Vector and Tensor Analysis, Chapter 1, Section 7 (dot product) and
Section 8 (cross product).
Problem 1.2
The triple cross-product is not in general associative. For example,
suppose A = B and C is perpendicular to A, as in the diagram.
Then (BXC) points out-of-the-page, and Ax(BXxC) points down,
and has magnitude ABC. But (AxB) = 0, 50 (AXB)xC = 0 ¢
Ax(BxC).

Problem 1.4
‘The cross-product of any two vectors in the plane will give a vector perpendicular to the plane. For example,
we might pick the base (A) and the left side (B):
A= -1%+29 +08; B= 18409 +38.2 CHAPTER 1. VECTOR ANALYSIS

This has the right direction, but the wrong magnitude. To make a unit vector out of it, simply divide by its
length:
|AxB| = V364944=7.

Problem 1.6 —
Ax(BXxC)+Bx(CxA)+Cx(AXB) = B(A-C)-C(A-B)+C(A-B)-A(C-B)+A(B-C)-B(C-A) = 0.
So: Ax (Bx C) - (AxB)xC = —Bx(CxA) = A(B-C) - C(A-B).
If this is zero, then either A is parallel to C (including the case in which they point in opposite directions, or
‘one is zero), or else B-C = B-A = 0, in which case B is perpendicular to A and C (including the case B = 0).
Ax(BxC}
Conclusson: [A x(Bx C) = (AXB)xC > either A is parallel to C, or B is perpendicular to A and G

Moreover, if R is to preserve lengths for all vectors A, then this condition is not only sufficient but also
necessary. For suppose A = (1,0,0). Then Dy,t (31 Ray Rix) AyAx = D, Ra Rn, and this must equal 1 (since we
want A +A; +Az = 1). Likewise, Bi, RaRy = D3; RiaRag = 1. To check the case j # k, choose A = (1,1,0).

behavior of an “ordinary” vector, as given by (b). If A and B are pseudovectors, then (Ax) —> (A) x (B) =

In the cross-product of a vector
and a pseudovector, one changes sign, the other doesn’t, and therefore the cross-product is itself a vector.

This conclusion is surprising, because, from the diagram, this vector field is obviously diverging away from the
origin. How, then, can V-v = 0? The answer is that V-v = 0 everywhere except at the origin, but at the
origin our calculation is no good, since r = 0, and the expression for v blows up. In fact, V-v is infinite at
that one point, and zero elsewher all see in Sect. 1.5.

Problem 1.37
There are many ways to do this one—probably the most illuminating way is to work it out by trigonometry
from Fig. 1.36. The most systematic approach is to study the expression:
ra2kt-+yF+2%=rsindcospk+rsindsingy + rcosdz.
If only vary r slightly, then dr = 2(r)dr is a short vector pointing in the direction of increase in r. To make
it a unit vector, I must divide by its length. Thus:

hope to compute B = —8¥ or By = 3%. That was OK in part (a), because we knew from symmetry that

‘The same charge density would be compatible (as far as Gauss’s law is concerned) with E = ay§, for
instance, or E = ($)r, etc. The point is that Gauss’s law (and VxE = 0) by themselves do not determine
the field—like any differential equations, they must be supplemented by appropriate boundary conditions.
Ordinarily, these are so “obvious” that we impose them almost subconsciously (* must. go to zero far from
the source charges”)—or we appeal to symmetry to resolve the ambiguity (“the field must be the same—in
magnitude—on both sides of an infinite plane of surface charge"). But in this case there are no natural
boundary conditions, and no persuasive symmetry conditions, to fix the answer. The question “What is the
electric field produced by a uniform charge density filling all of space?” is simply ill-posed: it does not give
‘us sufficient information to determine the answer. (Incidentally, it won't help to appeal to Coulomb's law
(B= ag Jo&dr)—the integral is hopelessly indefinite, in this case.)
Problem 2.51
Compare Newton’s law of universal gravitation to Coulomb's law:
Now, G = 6.67 x 10-1! N m?/kg?, and for the sun M = 1.99 x 10° kg, R = 6.96 x 10 m, so the sun’s
gravitational energy is W = 2.28 x 10 J. At the current rate, this energy would be dissipated in a time

you place the image charge (1) in the refiection point. ‘To make the

But this is precisely the field produced by q (at r) at the center of the sphere. So the average field (over
the sphere) due to a point charge outside the sphere is the same as the field that same charge produces
at the center. And by superposition, this holds for any collection of exterior charges.

From Ex. 5.8, the top plate produces a field joK/2 (aiming out of the page, for points above it, and into
the page, for points below). The bottom plate produces a field oK’/2 (aiming mto the page, for points above
it, and out of the page, for points below). Above and below both plates the two fields cancel; between the plates
they add up to oX, pointing m.

As for the Lorentz, force law, one might guess something of the form ga[B + (v x E)] (where dm is the
