Imagine an iron sphere of radius R that carries a charge Q and a uniform magnetization M=M. The sphere is initially at rest.
(a) Compute the angular momentum stored in the electromagnetic fields.
(b) Suppose the sphere is gradually (and uniformly) demagnetized (perhaps by heating it up past the Curie point). Use Faraday’s law to determine the induced electric field, find the torque this field exerts on the sphere, and calculate the total angular momentum imparted to the sphere in the course of the demagnetization.
(c) Suppose instead of demagnetizing the sphere we discharge it, by connecting a grounding wire to the north pole. Assume the current flows over the surface in such a way that the charge density remains uniform. Use the Lorentz force law to determine the torque on the sphere, and calculate the total angular momentum imparted to the sphere in the course of the discharge. (The magnetic field is discontinuous at the surface ….does this matter?) [Answer: ]
A charged parallel-plate capacitor (with uniform electric field ) is placed in a uniform magnetic field , as shown in Fig. 8.6.
Figure 8.6
(a) Find the electromagnetic momentum in the space between the plates.
(b) Now a resistive wire is connected between the plates, along the z-axis, so that the capacitor slowly discharges. The current through the wire will experience a magnetic force; what is the total impulse delivered to the system, during the discharge?

In Ex. 8.4, suppose that instead of turning off the magnetic field (by reducing I) we turn off the electric field, by connecting a weakly conducting radial spoke between the cylinders. (We’ll have to cut a slot in the solenoid, so the cylinders can still rotate freely.) From the magnetic force on the current in the spoke, determine the total angular momentum delivered to the cylinders, as they discharge (they are now rigidly connected, so they rotate together). Compare the initial angular momentum stored in the fields (Eq. 8.34). (Notice that the mechanism by which angular momentum is transferred from the fields to the cylinders is entirely different in the two cases: in Ex. 8.4 it was Faraday’s law, but here it is the Lorentz force law.)
