Derive Eq. 6.3. [Here's one way to do it: Assume the dipole is an infinitesimal square, of side E (if it's not, chop it up into squares, and apply the argument to each one). Choose axes as shown in Fig. 6.8, and calculate F = I J (dl x B) along each of the four sides. Expand B in a Taylor series-on the right side, for instance,

B=B(0,,z)B(0,0,Z)+By0.0.z

For a more sophisticated method, see Prob. 6.22.]

Therefore, the equationF=m.B is derived.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

Expansion of the Taylor series,

B=B(0,,z)B(0,0,z)+By0.0.z

Side of the square=

Current =I

Magnetic field=B

Force along each side =F

02

 Step 2: Derive the equation  F=∇m×B.

dF4Consider the square of side in the plan.

The force on the element of the core,

dF1=IL×BdF1=Idyy×B0,y,0

The force on the element of the wire parallel to z axis,

dF2=Idzz^×B0,,z

The force on the element of the wire parallel to yaxis,

dF3=I-dy×B0,y,

The force on the element of the wire on zaxis,

dF4=I-dzz^×B(0,0,z)

The total force on the element loop is sum of the forces along ach side.

dF=dF1+dF2dF3+dF4

Substitute Idyy×B0,y,0for dF1,Idzz^×B0,,z, for localid="1657711123898" dF2,I-dy×B0,y,, for dF3and I-dzz^×B0,0,z for into above equation.

localid="1657711909865" dF=Idyy×B0,y,0+Idzz^×B0,y,0z+I-dy×Bo,y,+I-dzz^×B0,0,zdF=I-dyy×B0,y,-B0,y,0+dzz^B0,,z-B0,0,z……(1)

From the Taylor series,

localid="1657713074645" B0,y,0-BO,y,0=BzB0,,z-BO,0,Z=By

Substitute Bzfor B(o,y,)-band Byfor B0,,z-B0,0,zinto equation (1).

dF=I-dyy×Bz+dzz^BzdF=I2z^×Bz-y×Bz …… (2)

The magnetic moment of the loop,

m=I2

Substitute for into equation (2).

dF=mz^×By-y×Bz

Noe solves the above equation,

localid="1657715061627" F=mx^yz^001BxyBYYBZY-x^yz^001BxzBYzBZzF=mx^-Byy-y-Bxy-z^BZzF=mx^Byy+BZz+Bxy+z^Bxz…… (3)

From the gauss law of the magnetization,

Bxx+Byy+BZz=0-Byy+BZz=Bxx

Substitute Bxxfor-Byy+BZzinto equation (3).

F=mx^Bxx+yBxy+zBxzF=m.BXF=m.Bx

In the general form the above equation can be written as,

localid="1657715013642" F=m.B

Hence, the equationF=m.Bis obtained.

A long circular cylinder of radius Rcarries a magnetization M=ks2ϕ^. Wherekis a constant,sis the distance from the axis, and ϕ^ is the usual azimuthal unit vector (Fig. 6.13). Find the magnetic field due to M, for points inside and outside the cylinder.

Figure 6.13

On the basis of the naïve model presented in Sect. 6.1.3, estimate the magnetic susceptibility of a diamagnetic metal such as copper. Compare your answer with the empirical value in Table 6.1, and comment on any discrepancy.

A current Iflows down a long straight wire of radius. If the wire is made of linear material (copper, say, or aluminium) with susceptibility Xm, and the current is distributed uniformly, what is the magnetic field a distances from the axis? Find all the bound currents. What is the net bound current flowing down the wire?

You are asked to referee a grant application, which proposes to determine whether the magnetization of iron is due to "Ampere" dipoles (current loops) or "Gilbert" dipoles (separated magnetic monopoles). The experiment will involve a cylinder of iron (radius Rand length L=10R), uniformly magnetized along the direction of its axis. If the dipoles are Ampere-type, the magnetization is equivalent to a surface bound current Kb=Mϕ^if they are Gilbert-type, the magnetization is equivalent to surface monopole densities σb=±Mat the two ends. Unfortunately, these two configurations produce identical magnetic fields, at exterior points. However, the interior fields are radically different-in the first case Bis in the same general direction as M, whereas in the second it is roughly opposite to M. The applicant proposes to measure this internal field by carving out a small cavity and finding the torque on a tiny compass needle placed inside.

Assuming that the obvious technical difficulties can be overcome, and that the question itself is worthy of study, would you advise funding this experiment? If so, what shape cavity would you recommend? If not, what is wrong with the proposal?

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.)
