and, for |x| < ct, the fields are given by :
μ 0 k 2 (ct − |x|) zˆ
B = ± μ 0 k 2 c
(ct − |x|) yˆ, “+” for x > 0 and “−” for x < 0 ,
and both fields vanish for |x| > ct. At t 1 = dc , x ≥ ct 1 within the box, so E = 0, B = 0, and hence W (t 1 ) = 0 (0.1 pt). At t 2 = (d+ c h), ct 2 = d + h > x at all points in the box, and the fields are:
E = − μ 0 k 2
(d + h − x) zˆ
B = μ 0 k 2 c (d + h − x) yˆ,
0.1 pt for writing down the field, but 0 pt if not distinguishing the case which |x| ≶ ct and x ≶ 0. We have B^2 = E^2 /c^2 , and the energy density is:

(ct − |x|)^2 xˆ (0.3 pt),
(“+” for ct > x > 0 and “−” for −ct < dx < 0 , as before). For |x| > ct, S = 0. You need to check that S = 0 at the upper surface (using the fact that S = 0 if |x| > ct), in order to deduce only the integral over the lower surface contributes to the energy influx. Therefore, just calculating S at the lower surface and not distinguishing the case which |x| ≶ ct and x ≶ 0 is not enough. There will be − 0. 1 pt deduction for this. At t 1 < t < t 2 , the only surface that has non-zero energy flux is the lower face of the box at x = d, so the energy per unit time entering the box in this time interval is: dW dt
S(d) · da =
μ 0 k^2 lw 4 c (ct − d)^2. (0.3 pt)
Note that no energy flows out the top, since S(d + h) = 0. (c) The change in total energy in the box is:

which are just the fields of a point charge 2 q at the origin. Therefore, using Eq. (1.99), ρ = ϵ 0 ∇ · E = 2q δ(3)(r) (0.3 pt) J = 0 (0.3 pt).
