ELE401 - Field Theory: Tutorial Problems Week 5

1. A slab of conducting material with conductivity exists in the region: a r b;

2

o Taking the E -eld to the E = E r 2 ar [V /m] solve for the resistance in the r direction between the surfaces r = a and r = b.

2. A piece of dielectric material is held between two conducting planes located at x = 0 and x = l. If the polarization vector eld inside the dielectric is P = (ax2 + b)ax [C/m2 ] (1)

solve for the following if the cross-sectional area of the dielectric slab/rod is taken as A [m2 ]. (a) E (b) D (c) s @ x=0 (d) s @ x=l+ (e) v (f) i. ps @ x=0+ ii. ps @ x=l iii. pv i. Qps ii. Qpv iii. Qps + Qpv
