Get started for freeA steady current flows down a long cylindrical wire of radius a(Fig. 5.40). Find the magnetic field, both inside and outside the wire, if
Just as allows us to express B as the curl of a vector potential , so permits us to write A itself as the curl of a "higher" potential:. (And this hierarchy can be extended ad infinitum.)
(a) Find the general formula for W (as an integral over B), which holds when 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 ); 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.)
(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 and .
(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 .It is set spinning about its axis, at an angular velocity .Find the magnetic field at a distances from the axis, in the xyplane (Fig. 5.66). [Hint:treat it as a stack of magnetic dipoles.]
