1 𝑹𝑹 1 𝑹𝑹
∇ � � = − 3, ∇′ � � = 3,
𝑅𝑅 𝑅𝑅 𝑅𝑅 𝑅𝑅
where 𝑹𝑹 = 𝒓𝒓 − 𝒓𝒓′ and ∇′ operates on the primed variables. Following these results, show that:
1
∇ ∙ ∇ � � = −4𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋(𝑅𝑅)
𝑅𝑅
where 𝑅𝑅 = |𝒓𝒓 − 𝒓𝒓′|
Hints: In the last part, separately consider the cases when R=0 and R≠0. Use spherical coordinates.
5. In a perfect conductor, the conductivity is infinite, so E=0 and any net charge resides on the surface (just
as it does for an imperfect conductor in electrostatics).

b. Show that the magnetic flux through a perfect conducting loop is constant.
6. The figure shows an open rectangular waveguide radiating into free space. The field at the opening is
given by
Find the time-average power radiated into the free space (express your result in terms of E0, a, and b).
7. Consider a section of a coaxial cable, as shown in the figure. The length ot the section is d and the coaxial
cable is composed of two cylinders of radius a and b. The transverse time-harmonic field components at
z=0 and z=d are given by
