Homework #11
Problem # 10.9 (b) ONLY hint: Change variables from z to script r in
the delta function and use delta properties in chapter 1.
10.10 (Just answer why can't you determine the magnetic field), 10.12.
Homework #12a
Continue the multipole expansion for the scalar and vector potentials to
determine the magnetic dipole contribution
to Electric and Magnetic fields
in the radiation zone from an arbitary current loop.
Compare your results with Griffiths for the special case of the magnetic
dipole alligned with the z-axis and oscillating harmonically in time
(his equations 11.36 and 11.37).
