Question:
4
The potential in the region above the infinite grounded conducting plane?
V π«π« =ππ
4ππππ01
x2 + y2 + (z β d)2β
1x2 + y2 + (z + d)2
Q: Is kV π«π« also a solution, where k is a constant?
Ans: No
Corollary to First Uniqueness Theorem: The potential in a volume is uniquely determined if (a) the charge desity throughout the region and (b) the value of V at all boundaries, are specified.
ππ2V1 = βππππ0
In this case one has to satisfy the Poissonβs equation. But kV π«π« does not satisfy it.
Only when ππ = 0 (everywhere), kV π«π« can be a solution as well Exception: But then since in this case V π«π« = ππ, it is a trivial solution.

Multipole Expansion (Potentials at large distances)
β’ What is the potential due to a quadrupole at large distance?
(goes like ππ/ππππ at large ππ)
β’ What is the potential due to a octopole at large distance?
(goes like ππ/ππππ at large ππ)
Note1: Multipole terms are defined in terms of their ππ dependence, not in terms of the number of charges.
Note 2: The dipole potential need not be produced by a two-charge system only . A general ππ-charge system can have any multipole contribution.

Questions 1:
Q: In this following configuration, is the βlarge π«π«β limit valid, since the source dimensions are much smaller than π«π«?
Ans: No. The βlarge π«π«β limit essentially mean π«π« β« |π«π«β²|. In majority of the situations, the charge distribution is centered at the origin and therefore the βlarge π«π«β limit is the same as source dimension being smaller than π«π«.

β’ For a collection of point charges.
Multipole Expansion (Monopole and Dipole terms)
ππ = οΏ½ππππ
ππ
ππ=1
π©π© = οΏ½π«π«π’π’β²ππππ
ππ
ππ=1
So, ππβ² cosπΌπΌ = π«π«οΏ½ β π«π«β²
12
Monopole term:
Example: A three-charge system
ππ = οΏ½ππππ
ππ
ππ=1
= βππ
π©π© = οΏ½π«π«π’π’β²ππππ
ππ
ππ=1
= ππππ πποΏ½ + βππππ β ππ βππ πποΏ½ = ππππ πποΏ½
Therefore the system will have both monopole and dipole contributions 13

Q: Why not calculate the potential directly ??
Ans: Yes, that is what should be done. For a point charge, we donβt need a multipole expansion to find the potential. This is only for illustrating the connection.
