Figure 2.34 shows a charge array known as an electric quadrupole. For a point on the axis of the quadrupole, obtain the dependence of potential on r for r/a >> 1, and contrast your results with that due to an electric dipole, and an electric monopole (i.e., a single charge).

Two charges –q and +q are located at points (0, 0, –a) and (0, 0, a), respectively. (a) What is the electrostatic potential at the points (0, 0, z) and (x, y, 0) ? (b) Obtain the dependence of potential on the distance r of a point from the origin when r/a >> 1. (c) How much work is done in moving a small test charge from the point (5,0,0) to (–7,0,0) along the x-axis? Does the answer change if the path of the test charge between the same points is not along the x-axis?

If one of the two electrons of a H₂ molecule is removed, we get a hydrogen molecular ion H₂+. In the ground state of an H₂+, the two protons are separated by roughly 1.5 Å, and the electron is roughly 1 Å from each proton. Determine the potential energy of the system. Specify your choice of the zero of potential energy.

In a hydrogen atom, the electron and proton are bound at a distance of about 0.53 Å:(a) Estimate the potential energy of the system in eV, taking the zero of the potential energy at infinite separation of the electron from proton. (b) What is the minimum work required to free the electron, given that its kinetic energy in the orbit is half the magnitude of potential energy obtained in (a)? (c) What are the answers to (a) and (b) above if the zero of potential energy is taken at 1.06 Å separation?

(a) Show that the normal component of electrostatic field has a discontinuity from one side of a charged surface to another given by ( E₂ -E₁ ). ñ =σ/ ε0 where ñ is a unit vector normal to the surface at a point and σ is the surface charge density at that point. (The direction of ñ is from side 1 to side 2.) Hence show that just outside a conductor, the electric field is σ nˆ /ε0. (b) Show that the tangential component of electrostatic field is continuous from one side of a charged surface to another. [Hint: For (a), use Gauss’s law. For, (b) use the fact that work done by electrostatic field on a closed loop is zero.]

In a Van de Graaff type generator a spherical metal shell is to be a 15 × 10⁶ V electrode. The dielectric strength of the gas surrounding the electrode is 5 × 10⁷ Vm⁻¹. What is the minimum radius of the spherical shell required? (You will learn from this exercise why one cannot build an electrostatic generator using a very small shell which requires a small charge to acquire a high potential.)
