Get started for freeA point charge q is located at the center of a toroidal coil of rectangular cross section, inner radius a, outer radius a, and height h, which carries a total of N tightly-wound turns and current I.
(a) Find the electromagnetic momentum p of this configuration, assuming that w and h are both much less than a (so you can ignore the variation of the fields over the cross section).
(b) Now the current in the toroid is turned off, quickly enough that the point charge does not move appreciably as the magnetic field drops to zero. Show that the impulse imparted to q is equal to the momentum originally stored in the electromagnetic fields. [Hint: You might want to refer to Prob. 7.19.]
Question: A circular disk of radius R and mass M carries n point charges (q), attached at regular intervals around its rim. At time the disk lies in the xy plane, with its center at the origin, and is rotating about the z axis with angular velocity , when it is released. The disk is immersed in a (time-independent) external magnetic field role="math" localid="1653403772759" , where k is a constant.
(a) Find the position of the center if the ring, , and its angular velocity, , as functions of time. (Ignore gravity.)
(b) Describe the motion, and check that the total (kinetic) energy—translational plus rotational—is constant, confirming that the magnetic force does no work.
Question: (a) Carry through the argument in Sect. 8.1.2, starting with Eq. 8.6, but using in place of J. Show that the Poynting vector becomes and the rate of change of the energy density in the fields is
For linear media, show that
.
(b) In the same spirit, reproduce the argument in Sect. 8.2.2, starting with Eq. 8.15, with and inplace of and J. Don’t bother to construct the Maxwell stress tensor, but do show that the momentum density is
.
Because the cylinders in Ex. 8.4 are left rotating (at angular velocities wa and wb, say), there is actually a residual magnetic field, and hence angular momentum in the fields, even after the current in the solenoid has been extinguished. If the cylinders are heavy, this correction will be negligible, but it is interesting to do the problem without making that assumption.
(a) Calculate (in terms of wa and wb ) the final angular momentum in the fields. [Define , sowa and wb could be positive or negative.]
(b) As the cylinders begin to rotate, their changing magnetic field induces an extra azimuthal electric field, which, in turn, will make an additional contribution to the torques. Find the resulting extra angular momentum, and compare it with your result in (a).
out the formulas for u, S, g, and in the presence of magnetic charge. [Hint: Start with the generalized Maxwell equations (7.44) and Lorentz force law (Eq. 8.44), and follow the derivations in Sections 8.1.2, 8.2.2, and 8.2.3.]
