Homework Statement


An important result in the theory of antennas, is that if a current passes through the ZZ axis, the magnetic field far from the origin can be expressed in spherical coordinates, using only one componente of the magnetic vector potential.
Prove that:

Homework Equations


The magnectic field for a straight wire is mu0*I/(2*pi*r), and B=∇xA.

The Attempt at a Solution


This was in my exam last week, and i have no idea how to solve it... I've tried stating with the magnetic field of a straight wire, but i don't know how to relate that with the curl of A. Can you guys please help me out?

Well I think at a great distance, we are talking about the magnetic field of the radiated EM wave. These fields, when radiated from a short conductor, will fall off inversely with distance, have a maximum at 90 degrees to the conductor and a radiation pattern which falls off with the cosine of this angle. Maybe this description will help?
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
