Question
(Electric field) The lines of electric force of two opposite charges of the same strength at (-1. 0) and (1, 0) are the circles through (-1. 0) and (l, 0). Show that these circles are given by x 2 + (y - c)2 = 1 -+ c2. Show that the equipotential lines (orthogonal trajectories of those circles) are the circles given by lx + C*)2 + )'2 = C*2 - I (dashed in Fig. 25).
Solution
The first step in solving 1 problem number 18 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (Electric field) The lines of electric force of two opposite charges of the same strength at (-1. 0) and (1, 0) are the circles through (-1. 0) and (l, 0). Show that these circles are given by x 2 + (y - c)2 = 1 -+ c2. Show that the equipotential lines (orthogonal trajectories of those circles) are the circles given by lx + C*)2 + )'2 = C*2 - I (dashed in Fig. 25).
From the textbook chapter First-Order ODEs you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
