3. A dielectric sphere of radius a has a polarization 𝐏 = 𝐾𝑟 ! 𝐫 . Find the electric field and electric
displacement at distance 𝑟 from center, a) for 𝑟 < 𝑎 (inside the sphere), and b) for 𝑟 > 𝑎 (outside the
sphere)
z
4. A point charge q is embedded in a dielectric of
permittivity 𝜖 , at distance 𝑑 below the surface, as O
shown in the figure. The surface of the dielectric is at x
𝑧 = 0. d
a) Find the electrostatic potential at points in
(𝑧 < 0) and outside (𝑧 > 0) the dielectric. q
b) Find the polarization charge density on the
surface (𝑧 = 0) of the dielectric.
5. A thick spherical shell of inner radius a and outer radius b is made of dielectric
!
material with a “frozen-in” polarization 𝐏 𝐫 = 𝐫, where k is a constant and r is
! b
the distance from the center. (There is no free charge in the problem.) Find the
electric field in all three regions (𝑟 < 𝑎, 𝑎 < 𝑟 < 𝑏, and 𝑟 > 𝑎) by two different
methods:
a
(a) Locate all the bound charge, and use Gauss’s law to calculate the field it
produces.
(b) Find D and solve for E.
