(There is nothing physical about this force; it simply makes the F-ma equations solv- able.) Show that...
3. Under the influence of a vector field a particle spirals on the surface of a unit sphere toward the (t)-t and ф(t)- uppermost pole.

Under the influence of a...
2. Potential Inside a Sphere We are interested in the electric potential inside a spherical shell that is radius a and centered on the origin. There are no charges inside the she, so the potential satisfies the Laplace equation, However, there is an external voltage applied to the surface of the shell which holds the potential on the surface to a value which depends on θ: As a result, the potential Ф(r,0) -by symmetry, it does not depend on ф-is...
FIG. 2. Setup of Exercise 3 Exercise 3 The electrostatic potential of an electic dipole moment d located at the origin takes the following form d-T Tr where r is the vector joining the origin to the point X (7 is called the "position vector" in the textbook).
