Условие

Consider a uniformly charged metallic ring of radius RR and total charge qq. The ring is a hollow toroid of thickness 2a≪R2a \ll R. This thickness can be neglected in parts A, B, C, and E. The xyxy plane coincides with the plane of the ring, while the zz-axis is perpendicular to it, as shown in Figure 1. In parts A and B you might need to use the formula (Taylor expansion)

(1+x)ε≈1+εx+12ε(ε−1)x2, when ∣x∣≪1.(1+x)^{\varepsilon} \approx 1 + \varepsilon x + \frac{1}{2}\varepsilon(\varepsilon-1)x^2, \ \text{when } |x| \ll 1.
A thick ring of radius R lying in the xy plane with total charge q; axes x, y, z drawn at top left. Point A lies on the axis of the ring at a height z above the centre; point B lies in the plane of the ring at a distance r from the centre. The ring thickness is marked 2a at the right edge.

Part A. Electrostatic potential on the axis of the ring (1 point)

A.1 Calculate the electrostatic potential Φ(z)\Phi(z) along the axis of the ring at a zz distance from its center (point A in Figure 1). [0,3 т.]

A.2 Calculate the electrostatic potential Φ(z)\Phi(z) to the lowest non-zero power of zz, assuming z≪Rz \ll R. [0,4 т.]

A.3 An electron (mass mm and charge −e-e) is placed at point A (Figure 1, z≪Rz \ll R). What is the force acting on the electron? Looking at the expression of the force, determine the sign of qq so that the resulting motion would correspond to oscillations. The moving electron does not influence the charge distribution on the ring. [0,2 т.]

A.4 What is the angular frequency ω\omega of such harmonic oscillations? [0,1 т.]

Part B. Electrostatic potential in the plane of the ring (1.7 points)

In this part of the problem you will have to analyze the potential Φ(r)\Phi(r) in the plane of the ring (z=0z = 0) for r≪Rr \ll R (point B in Figure 1). To the lowest non-zero power of rr the electrostatic potential is given by Φ(r)≈q(α+βr2)\Phi(r) \approx q(\alpha + \beta r^2).

B.1 Find the expression for β\beta. You might need to use the Taylor expansion formula given above. [1,5 т.]

B.2 An electron is placed at point B (Figure 1, r≪Rr \ll R). What is the force acting on the electron? Looking at the expression of the force, determine the sign of qq so that the resulting motion would correspond to harmonic oscillations. The moving electron does not influence the charge distribution on the ring. [0,2 т.]

Part C. The focal length of the idealized electrostatic lens: instantaneous charging (2.3 points)

One wants to build a device to focus electrons—an electrostatic lens. Let us consider the following construction. The ring is situated perpendicularly to the zz-axis, as shown in Figure 2. We have a source that produces on-demand packets of non-relativistic electrons. Kinetic energy of these electrons is E=mv2/2E = mv^2/2 (vv is velocity) and they leave the source at precisely controlled moments. The system is programmed so that the ring is charge-neutral most of the time, but its charge becomes qq when electrons are closer than a distance d/2d/2 (d≪Rd \ll R) from the plane of the ring (shaded region in Figure 2, called “active region”). In part C assume that charging and de-charging processes are instantaneous and the electric field ”fills the space” instantaneously as well. One can neglect magnetic fields and assume that the velocity of electrons in the zz-direction is constant. Moving electrons do not perturb the charge distribution on the ring.

Side view of the ring (height 2R, charge q) perpendicular to the dashed z-axis, surrounded by a shaded active region of width d. An electron path parallel to the axis at distance r bends at the ring and reaches the focal point F on the axis. Axes x, y (out of page), z at bottom left.

C.1 Determine the focal length ff of this lens. Assume that f≫df \gg d. Express your answer in terms of the constant β\beta from question B.1 and other known quantities. Assume that before reaching the ”active region” the electron packet is parallel to the zz-axis and r≪Rr \ll R. The sign of qq is such so that the lens is focusing. [1,3 т.]

In reality the electron source is placed on the zz-axis at a distance b>fb > f from the center of the ring. Consider that electrons are no longer parallel to the zz-axis before reaching the ”active region”, but are emitted from a point source at a range of different angles γ≪1\gamma \ll 1 rad to the zz-axis. Electrons are focused in a point situated at a distance cc from the center of the ring.

C.2 Find cc. Express your answer in terms of the constant β\beta from question B.1 and other known quantities. [0,8 т.]

C.3 Is the equation of a thin optical lens

1b+1c=1f\frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c} = \frac{1}{f}

fulfilled for the electrostatic lens? Show it by explicitly calculating 1/b+1/c1/b + 1/c. [0,2 т.]

Part D. The ring as a capacitor (3 points)

The model considered above was idealized and we assumed that the ring charged instantaneously. In reality charging is non-instantaneous, as the ring is a capacitor with a finite capacitance CC. In this part we will analyze the properties of this capacitor. You might need the following integrals:

∫dxsin⁡x=−ln⁡∣cos⁡x+1sin⁡x∣+const\int \frac{\mathrm{d}x}{\sin x} = -\ln\left|\frac{\cos x + 1}{\sin x}\right| + \mathrm{const}

and

∫dx1+x2=ln⁡∣x+1+x2∣+const.\int \frac{\mathrm{d}x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} = \ln\left|x + \sqrt{1+x^2}\right| + \mathrm{const}.

D.1 Calculate the capacitance CC of the ring. Consider that the ring has a finite width 2a2a, but remember that a≪Ra \ll R. [2 т.]

When electrons reach the “active region”, the ring is connected to a source of voltage V0V_0 (Figure 3). When electrons pass the “active region”, the ring is connected to the ground. The resistance of contacts is R0R_0 and the resistance of the ring itself can be neglected.

Circuit: a switch connects the ring (circle labelled C) through a resistor R_0 either to a grounded voltage source V_0 or directly to ground.

D.2 Determine the dependence of the charge on the ring as a function of time, q(t)q(t), and make a schematic plot of this dependence. t=0t = 0 corresponds to a time moment when electrons are in the plane of the ring. What is the charge on the ring q0q_0 when the absolute value q(t)q(t) is maximal? The capacitance of the ring is CC (i.e., you do not have to use the actual expression found in D.1).

Remark: the drawn polarity in Figure 3 is for indicative purposes only. The sign should be chosen so that the lens is focusing. [1 т.]

Part E. Focal length of a more realistic lens: non-instantaneous charging (2 points)

In this part of the problem, we will consider the action of this more realistic lens. Here we will again neglect the width of the ring 2a2a and will assume that electrons travel parallel to the zz-axis before reaching the ”active region”. However, the charging of the ring is no longer instantaneous.

E.1 Find the focal length ff of the lens. Assume that f/v≫R0Cf/v \gg R_0C, but d/vd/v and R0CR_0C are of the same order of magnitude. Express your answer in terms of the constant β\beta from part B and other known quantities. [1,7 т.]

E.2 You will see, that the result for ff is similar to that obtained in part C, whereby the value qq is substituted with qeffq_{\mathrm{eff}}. Find the expression for qeffq_{\mathrm{eff}} in terms of quantities given in formulation of the problem. [0,3 т.]
