Where .... and...... are contants. Find the electric field E(r), the charge density .....(r),
and the total charge Q.[Answer: ...................]
47. Two ifinitely long wires running parallel to the x exis carry uniform charge density
.......... and .......... (Fig. 2. 54).
a). Find a potential at any point (x,y,z) using the origin as your reference.
b). Show that the equipotential surfaces are circular cylinders, and locate the axis and
radius of the cylinder corresponding to a given potential V0.
48. In a Facuum diode, electrons are “boiled” off a hot cathode,at potential zero, and
accelerated across a gap to the anode, which is heldat positive potential V0 .the cloud
of moving electrons within the gap (called space charge) quickly builds up to the
point where it reduces the field at the surface of the cathode to zero. From then on a
steady current ...... Flows between the plates .
Suppose the plates are large relative to the seperation (................... in Fig. 2.55), so
that edge efects can be neglected. Then V, p , and v (the speed of the electrons )are all
functions of x alone.
Gambar
a). Write poisson’s equation for the region between the plates.
b). Assuming the electrons start from rest at the cathode,what is their speed at point x,
where the potential is V (x).
c). In the steady state, ........is the independet of x . What,then, is the relation between
p and V.
d). Use these there result to obtain a differential equation for V, by eliminating p and
V.
e). Solve this equation for V as a function of x, V0, and d. Plot V(x), and compare it to
the potential without space-charge. Also, find p and v as fuction of x.
f). Show that

And find the contant K. (Equation 2.56 is called the Child-Lagmuir law. It holds for
other geometries as well,whenever space-charge limits the current. Notice that the
space-charge limiteddioda is nonlinear – it does not obey ohm’s law.)
49. Imagie that new ad extraodinarily precise measurements have revealed and error in
coulombs law. The actual force of interactio between twopoit charges is found to be.

Where ..... is a new constant of nature (is has dimensios of length,obviously, and is a
huge number – say half the radius of the known universe – so that the correction is
small, which is why noone ever noticed the discrepacy dispore). You are charget with
the task of reformulating electrostatics to accommodate the new discovery. Assume
the principle of superposition still hold.
(a) What is the electric field of a cherge distribution 𝜌 (replacing Eq.2.8)
(b) Does this electric field admit scalar potential? explain briefly how you reached
your conclusion. (no formal proof necessary just a persuasive argument .)
(c) Find thepotential of a point charge q the analog Eq. 2.26. (if you answere to (b)
was “no”, better go back and charge it!) use ...... as your reference point.
(d) For a point charge q at the origin, show that.

Where S is the surface, V the volume, of any sphere centered at q.
(e) Show that this result generalizes:
