An infinitely long cylinder, of radius R, carries a "frozen-in" magnetization, parallel to the axis

M=ksz^,

Where is a constant and is the distance from the axis; there is no free current anywhere. Find the magnetic field inside and outside the cylinder by two different methods: (a) As in Sect. 6.2, locate all the bound currents, and calculate the field they produce. (b) Use Ampere's law (in the form of Eq. 6.20) to find, and then get from Eq. 6.18. (Notice that the second method is much faster, and avoids any explicit reference to the bound currents.)

Short Answer

(a)

The values of all bound currents areKb=kRϕ^ and Jb=-kϕ^.

The value of magnetic field they produce is B=μ0ksz^.

(b) The value of magnetic field for any loop there is no enclosed free current, is B=π0ksz^.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

Consider an infinitely long cylinder, of radius R, carries a "frozen-in" magnetization, parallel to the axis.

02

Determine the formula of all bound currents and of magnetic field they produce.

Write the formula ofall bound currents.

Kb=M×s^ …… (1)

Here, Mis frozen in magnetization and s^is distance from the axis.

Write the formula of all bound currents.

Jb=×M …… (2)

Here, Mis frozen in magnetization.

Write the formula ofmagnetic field they produce.

BI=μ0KbI-μ0IsRkbs …… (3)

Here,μ0 is permeability, k is constant, s^ is distance from the axis and I is current passing area.

Write the formula ofmagnetic field for any loop there is no enclosed free current.

B=μ0M …… (4)

Here, μ0is permeability andM is frozen in magnetization.

03

(a) Determine the value of all bound currents and of magnetic field they produce.

Determine the bound currents first:

Substitute k for Mand Rϕ^for s^into equation (1).

kb=kRϕ^

Determine the bound currents second:

Substitute -k for Mand ϕ^for into equation (2).

Jb=-kϕ^

Although the magnetic field will be in the z-direction, it will be zero outside since Ienc = 0. We have the following inside, utilising an Amperian rectangle that spans the surface:

BI=kri-k(R-s)B=μ0ksz^

Therefore, the value of magnetic field they produce is B=μ0ksz^.

In the gray-shaded areas in the image below, the total current is seen passing through the RHS.

(b) Determine the value of magnetic field for any loop there is no enclosed free current.

for any loop there is no enclosed free current, so we have:

H = 0

Determine the magnetic field.

H=Bμ0-M0=Bμ0-MB=μ0M=μ0ksz^

Therefore, the value of magnetic field for any loop there is no enclosed free current, is B=μ0ksz^.
