EM maxwells equations problem infinite cylinder

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on solving a problem involving Maxwell's Equations applied to an infinite cylinder with a uniform volume charge density ρ and an angular velocity ω along the z-axis. Participants explore the complexities introduced by the angular velocity, particularly how it affects the electric field (E), magnetic field (B), electric potential (V), and vector potential (A). The challenge lies in integrating the effects of rotation into the established relationships of Maxwell's Equations, which has proven difficult for some contributors.

Homework Statement


Suppose we have a infinite cylinder of radius=R and with uniform volume charge density ρ. Use Maxwell's Equations or relationships from them to find E, B, V, and A everywhere.

Pretty easy. But how do you approach the problem when you bring an angular vel into the mix? Suppose it is ω=(constant)*t z-hat and z-hat is along the central axis. (accelerates from rest)

Homework Equations

[/B]
Maxwell's Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


Have not been able to solve this with the angular vel included.
