A point charge q is locatedin vacumm at a distancel fromthe planesurfaceof a unifrom isotropicdeilectric filling up all the half-space. The permittivity of the dielectricequals epsilon. Find : (a) the surfacedensityof the bound chagresas a function of distanc e r from the pointcharges q'. anayse the obtainedresultat l -. 0, (b) the total bound charge on the surfaceof the dielectric

Answer»

Solution :The charge is at `A` in the medium 1 and has an image point at `A'` in the medium 2. The electric FIELD in themedium 1 is due to the actual charge `q` at `A` and the image chagre `q'` at `A'`. The electric field in 2 is due to a connectedcharge `q'` at `A`. Thus on the boundary between 1 and 2.
`E_(1n)= (q')/(4pi epsilon_(0) R^(2)) cos theta - (q)/(4pi epsilon_(0) r^(2)) cos theta`
`E_(2n)= (-q'')/(4pi epsilon_(0) r^(2)) cos theta`
`E_(1t)= (q')/(4pi epsilon_(0) r^(2)) sin theta + (q)/(4pi epsilon_(0) r^(2)) sin theta`
`E_(2T)= (q'')/(4pi epsilon_(0) r^(2)) sin theta`
The boundary conditions are
`D_(1n) = D_(2n)` and `E_(1t) - E_(2t)`
`eq" = q - q`
`q" = q + q`
So, `q" = (2q)/(epsilon + 1), q' = (epsilon - 1)/(epsilon + 1) q`
(a) The surface DENSITYOF the round charge on the surface of the dielectric
`sigma' = P_(2n) =D_(2n) - epsilon_(0) E_(2n) = (epsilon - 1) E_(0) E_(2n)`
`=(epsilon -1)/(epsilon +1)(q)/(2pi r^(2)) cos theta = (epsilon - 1)/(epsilon +1) (ql)/(2pi r^(3))`
(B) Total bound chargeis, `(epsilon - 1)/(epsilon +1) q int_(0)^(oo) (l)/(2pi (l^(2) + x^(2))^(3//2)) 2pi x dx = - (epsilon - 1)/(epsilon + 1) q`
