HW-01

Keys: potential, electric field and electric displacement field; Gauss theorem; polarization field (equivalent polarization charge), etc.
(due on Tue. 3/23)
  1. Problems 1-1-1 (hint: Gauss theorem) and 1-1-4 in the textbook;
  2. Problems 1-2-1, 1-2-2 and 1-2-3 in the textbook;
  3. Find the electric field and potential of a uniform line charge \( q \) of radius \( a \) in the far field region (\( r \gg a \)). (hint: the ring charge is located in the \( xoy \)-plane; use spherical coordinates.);
  4. Find the electric field and potential inside and outside a polarized sphere of radius \( a \), where the polarization field is \( \mathbf{P}(\mathbf{r}) = P \mathbf{r} \).
