  1. We carve a perfectly spherical hole of radius R inside a conductor, and we put an electric dipole with dipole moment p at the center, directed upward. What will be the magnitude of the electric field at a height R/2 above the dipole?

    p/R3
    2p/R3
    7p/R3
    8p/R3
    15p/R3

  2. A muon with E=?MeV energy is in circular motion in a constant magnetic field B=?G. Its spin is initially polarized in the direction of motion. What will be the angle between the spin and the velocity after one full revolution?







  3. An electric dipole with dipole moment p is at a fixed position and its direction is rotating in the x-y plane with fixed angular velocity ω. What is the total radiated power?
