Step by step solution

01

Significance of magnetostatics

Magnetostatics is mainly used for predicting fast switching magnetic events which occur in less than a nanosecond. Moreover, magnetostatics is also a good approximation when there is no static current.

02

(a) Checking the equation 5.76

The equation 5.76 can be expressed as:

Babove-Bbelow=μ0(K×n^) …(i)

Here, Baboveand Bbeloware the magnetic field at the top and the bottom,μ0 is the permeability, k is the constant and n^is the position vector.

At the solenoid’s surface, the magnetic field at the top is zero.

The equation of the magnetic field at the bottom at solenoid’s surface is expressed as:

Bbelow=μ0nIz^

Here, lis the current andz^ is the position vector along the z axis.

Substitute for in the above equation.

Bbelow=μ0Kz^

Substitute -Kz^for(K×n^) in the equation (i).

Babove-Bbelow=-μ0Kz^

Thus, the equation 5.76 satisfies.

03

(b) Checking the equation 5.77 and 5.78

The equation in the example 5.11 is expressed as:

Ar,θ,ϕ=μ0Rωδ3rsinθϕ^rR=μ0R4ωδ3sinθr2ϕ^rR …(ii)

The equation 5.77 is expressed as:

Aabove=Abelow

The equation 5.78 is expressed as:

Aaboven-Abelown=-μ0K

In the equation of the example 5.11, the both the equations have the same values at the surface. Hence, it satisfies the equation 5.77 asAabove=Abelow .

Differentiating the equation (ii) with respect to the coordinate r in order to find the left side of the equation 5.78 .

ArR+=μ0R4ωδ3-2sinθr3ϕ^R=2μ0Rωδ3sinθϕ^=μ0Rωδ3sinθϕ^

The equation of the constant K is expressed as:

K=δV=δω×r=δωrsinθϕ^

Hence, the right and the left side of the equation 5.78 is satisfied.

Thus, the equations 5.77 and 5.78 is satisfied.

A steady current Iflows down a long cylindrical wire of radius a(Fig. 5.40). Find the magnetic field, both inside and outside the wire, if

  1. The current is uniformly distributed over the outside surface of the wire.
  2. The current is distributed in such a way that Jis proportional to s,the distance from the axis.

Just as V.B=0allows us to express B as the curl of a vector potential (B=×A), so .A=0permits us to write A itself as the curl of a "higher" potential:A=×W. (And this hierarchy can be extended ad infinitum.)

(a) Find the general formula for W (as an integral over B), which holds whenB0 at .

(b) Determine for the case of a uniform magnetic field B. [Hint: see Prob. 5.25.]

(c) Find inside and outside an infinite solenoid. [Hint: see Ex. 5.12.]

Question: Suppose you want to define a magnetic scalar potential U(Eq. 5.67)

in the vicinity of a current-carrying wire. First of all, you must stay away from the

wire itself (there ×B0); but that's not enough. Show, by applying Ampere's

law to a path that starts at a and circles the wire, returning to b (Fig. 5.47), that the

scalar potential cannot be single-valued (that is, U(a)U(b), even if they represent the same physical point). As an example, find the scalar potential for an infinite straight wire. (To avoid a multivalued potential, you must restrict yourself to simply connected regions that remain on one side or the other of every wire, never allowing you to go all the way around.)

(a) By whatever means you can think of (short of looking it up), find the vector potential a distance from an infinite straight wire carrying a current . Check that .A=0and ×A=B.

(b) Find the magnetic potential inside the wire, if it has radius R and the current is uniformly distributed.

A thin glass rod of radius Rand length Lcarries a uniform surfacecharge δ .It is set spinning about its axis, at an angular velocity ω.Find the magnetic field at a distances sR from the axis, in the xyplane (Fig. 5.66). [Hint:treat it as a stack of magnetic dipoles.]
