<b>Energy of spherical shell</b>

</p>
|
||||
|

<p>
|
||||
Consider a uniformly charged spherical shell of total charge \(q\) and radius \(R\).
|
||||
We wish to compute its electrostatic energy.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<b>first way</b>: we use <a href="./ems_es_e.html#W_vcd">W_vcd</a> adapted for surface charges,
|
||||
\[
|
||||
W = \frac{1}{2} \int_S da \sigma \phi.
|
||||
\]
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The potential at the surface of the sphere is constant,
|
||||
\(\phi = \frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{q}{R}\), so
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
\[
|
||||
W = \frac{1}{8\pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{q}{R} \int da \sigma = \frac{1}{8\pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{q^2}{R}.
|
||||
\]
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<b>second way</b> we use <a href="./ems_es_e.html#W_intEsq">W_intEsq</a>. Inside the sphere, \({\bf E} = 0\); outside,
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
\[
|
||||
{\bf E} = \frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} q \frac{\hat{\bf r}}{r^2} \rightarrow E^2 = \frac{q^2}{(4\pi \varepsilon_0)^2 r^4}.
|
||||
\]
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
so
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
\begin{align}
|
||||
W &= \frac{\varepsilon_0}{2} \int_{outside~sphere} \frac{q^2}{(4\pi \varepsilon_0)^2 r^4} r^2 \sin \theta dr d\theta d\phi \nonumber \\
|
||||
&= \frac{1}{32 \pi^2 \varepsilon_0} q^2 4\pi \int_R^{\infty} \frac{dr}{r^2} = \frac{1}{8\pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{q^2}{R}.
