A plane wire loop of irregular shape is situated so that part of it is in a uniform magnetic field B (in Fig. 5.57 the field occupies the shaded region, and points perpendicular to the plane of the loop). The loop carries a current I. Show that the net magnetic force on the loop is, whereis the chord subtended. Generalize this result to the case where the magnetic field region itself has an irregular shape. What is the direction of the force?
Suppose there did exist magnetic monopoles. How would you modifyMaxwell's equations and the force law to accommodate them? If you think thereare several plausible options, list them, and suggest how you might decide experimentally which one is right.
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 ); 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, , 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.)
Show that the magnetic field of an infinite solenoid runs parallel to the axis, regardless of the cross-sectional shape of the coil,as long as that shape is constant along the length of the solenoid. What is the magnitude of the field, inside and outside of such a coil? Show that the toroid field (Eq. 5.60) reduces to the solenoid field, when the radius of the donut is so large that a segment can be considered essentially straight.
