This is an oddball coordinate system. It is not a degenerate case of the confocal
ellipsoidal coordinates. Equation 2.1 is not completely separable in this system

unusual coordinate system may be chosen to lit a problem.

Dividing Eq. 2.81a by 2.81h, we obtain

Usin g Eq. 2.82 to eliminate C from Eq. 2.81a, we have

(x — a coth ) + 2 y2
= 2 C/ CSC112 (2.83)
• Eq. 2.82 to eliminate q from Eq. 2.81h, we have

X 2 + (3' - a cot ,;) 2 = a 2 csc2 (2.84)


From Eqs. 2.83 and 2.84 we may identify the coordinate surfaces as follows:

I. Circular cylinders, center at i = a cot *C,
= constant, 0 5 C 27t.

2. Circular cylinders, center at .v = a coth


= constant, - CC < 1/ < CC .

3. Planes parallel to .vy-plane,


= constant, - SO < < Cf-

when coth q —* I and csch q 0. Equation 2.83 has a solution x = a,


y= 0. Similarly, when q — cr.>, a solution is .v = —a, r = 0, the circle degenerating
to a point, the cylinder to a line. The family of circles (in the .vy-plane) described by
Eq. 2.84 passes through both of these points. This follows from noting that .v = +a,
y = 0 are solutions of Eq. 2.84 for any value of C.

From Eq. 2.89, Eq. 2.84 follows directly. This identifies ,; as 5 12 = 0, — 0 2 . Solving

Multiplication by e - " 2 and use of the definitions of hyperbolic sine and cosine
produces Eq. 2.83, which identifies q as th, = In (0,1p,). The following example
exploits this identification.

EXAMPLE 2.9.1

An infinitely long strai g ht wire carries a


current I in the negative :-direction. A second
wire, parallel to the first, carries a current / in
the positive z-direction. Using

dk
dA = (2.91)
47r r

find A, the magnetic vector potential, and B,


the magnetic inductance.
From Eq. 2.91 A has only a z-component.
Integrating over each wire from 0 to P and FIG. 2.9 Antiparallel electric Cur-

2.10 Prolate Spheroidal Coordinates (a, 1 ,, (p)


Let us start with the elliptic coordinates of Section 2.7 as a two-dimensional
system. We can generate a three-dimensional system by rotating about the major
or minor elliptic axes and introducing (I) as an azimuth angle (Fig. 2.10). Rotating
first about the major axis gives us prolate spheroidal coordinates with the following
nate surfaces :

1. Prolate spheroids,
= constant, 0 u < v4.

2. Hyperboloids of two sheets,


c= constant, 0

3. Half planes through the .7-axis,
