Problem 3 [15 points]

An insulating circular ring of radius R lies in the xy plane, centered at the

origin. It carries a linear charge density () = 0sin, where 0 is a constant
and is the usual azimuthal angle. The ring is now set spinning at constant
angular velocity about the z axis. Calculate the total power radiated in the
electric dipole approximation.

Hint: The trick to doing this problem easily is to compute the electric dipole
moment as a function of time, p(t), and see that it can be written in the
form p(t) = Re[ p()eit], where p() is an appropriate complex number.
