Wire

Storyboard

The geometry referred to as a wire can be understood as an infinitely long cylinder where the distance to the axis is much greater than the radius of the cylinder. Essentially, this corresponds to a case where the radius approaches zero, effectively becoming an infinitely thin line of charge.

Particle in electric field of a wire

Description

In the case of a spherical Gaussian surface, the electric field ($\vec{E}$) is constant in the direction of the versor normal to the section ($\hat{n}$). Therefore, using the charge ($Q$), the electric field constant ($\epsilon_0$), and the dielectric constant ($\epsilon$), it can be calculated by integrating over the surface where the electric field is constant ($dS$):

$\displaystyle\int_S\vec{E}\cdot\hat{n}\,dS=\displaystyle\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0\epsilon}$



With the surface ($S$) for a cylinder of the axle distance ($r$) and the conductor length ($L$):

$ S =2 \pi r h $



what is shown in the graph



and the linear charge density ($\lambda$) calculated with the charge ($Q$):

$ \lambda = \displaystyle\frac{ Q }{ L }$



Thus,

$ E_w =\displaystyle\frac{1}{2 \pi \epsilon_0 \epsilon }\displaystyle\frac{ \lambda }{ r }$

Particle in electric potencial of a wire

Description

The electric potential, infinite wire ($\varphi_w$) is derived from the radial integration of the electric field of an infinite wire ($E_w$) from the reference radius ($r_0$) to the axle distance ($r$), resulting in the following equation:

$ \varphi_w = -\displaystyle\int_{r_0}^r du E_w$



Furthermore, for the variables the charge ($Q$), the dielectric constant ($\epsilon$), and the electric field constant ($\epsilon_0$), the value of the electric field of an infinite wire ($E_w$) is given as:

$ E_w =\displaystyle\frac{1}{2 \pi \epsilon_0 \epsilon }\displaystyle\frac{ \lambda }{ r }$



This implies that by performing the integration

$\varphi_w = -\displaystyle\int_{r_0}^r du \displaystyle\frac{ \lambda }{ 2 \pi \epsilon_0 \epsilon u }= -\displaystyle\frac{ \lambda }{ 2 \pi \epsilon_0 \epsilon } \ln\left(\displaystyle\frac{ r }{ r_0 }\right)$



the following equation is obtained:

$ \varphi_w = -\displaystyle\frac{ \lambda }{ 2 \pi \epsilon_0 \epsilon }\ln\left(\displaystyle\frac{ r }{ r_0 }\right)$



As illustrated in the following graph:



the field at two points must have the same energy. Therefore, the variables the charge ($Q$), the particle mass ($m$), the speed 1 ($v_1$), the speed 2 ($v_2$), and the electric potential 1 ($\varphi_1$) according to the equation:

$ \varphi_1 = -\displaystyle\frac{ \lambda }{ 2 \pi \epsilon_0 \epsilon }\ln\left(\displaystyle\frac{ r_1 }{ r_0 }\right)$



and the electric potential 2 ($\varphi_2$), according to the equation:

$ \varphi_2 = -\displaystyle\frac{ \lambda }{ 2 \pi \epsilon_0 \epsilon }\ln\left(\displaystyle\frac{ r_2 }{ r_0 }\right)$



must satisfy the following relationship:

$ \displaystyle\frac{1}{2} m v_1 ^2 + q \varphi_1 = \displaystyle\frac{1}{2} m v_2 ^2 + q \varphi_2 $
