Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnetic force of attraction is π4μ0ω2δ2R4.

Step by step solution

01

Significance of the magnetic force

The magnetic force mainly arises amongst the particles having electrically charged and in also motion. However, the magnetic force is mainly the repulsion or attraction amongst the charged particles.

02

Determination of the magnetic attraction force

The equation of the surface element’s force is expressed as:

B=12(Bin+Bout)

Here, is the surface element’s force, Binand Boutare force inside and outside of the spinning shell.

The equation of the magnetic scalar potential’s curl of the inside of the shell is expressed as:

Aout=μ0R4ωδ3sinθr2^

Here, Ainis the magnetic scalar potential’s curl of the inside of the shell, Ris the radius, μ0is the permeability constant, ωis the angular velocity, δis the variability measurement, is the distance from the field, is the angle subtended and localid="1657519378591" ϕ^is the cap of the angle.

The cross product of with the Ainis expressed as:

×Ain=Bin=1rsinθθμ0Rωδ3rsin2θr^-1rθrμ0Rωδ3rsin2θθ^

The cross product of with the Aoutis expressed as:

×Aout=Bout=1rsinθθμ0R4ωδ3r2sin2θr^-1rθrμ0R4ωδ3r2sin2θθ^=23μ0R4δω1r3(2cosθr^+sinθθ^)

The equation of the average surface of the sphere is expressed as:

Bavg=12(Bin+Bout)r-R

The above equation can be reduced as:

Bavg=1213μ0R4δω1R3(2cosθr^+sinθθ^)+23μ0Rδω(cosθr^-sinθθ^=16Rωδμ(4cosθr^-sinθθ^)

The equation of the force on the differential surface element is expressed as:

dF=dqv×Bavg=δdSv×Bavg …(i)

Here, dqv is the differential surface element.

The equation of the velocity of the shell is expressed as:

v=Rsinθωϕ^

The differentiation of the above equation is expressed as:

dS=R2sinθdϕdθ

Substituting Rsinθωϕ^for vand R2sinθdϕdθfor dSin the equation (i).

dF=16μ0δ2ω2R4sin2θdθdϕϕ^×(4cosθr^-sinθθ^)=16μ0δ2ω2R4sin2θ(4cosθθ^-sinθr^)dθdϕ

The equation of the z component of the force of the shell is expressed as:

dFz=dFz^

…(ii)

Here, dFis the differential force and z^is the position vector.

The equation of the angle subtended by the force is expressed as:

θ^=cosθs^-sinθz^

The equation of the position vector in the zdirection is expressed as:

localid="1658556502484" r^=sinθs^+cosθz^

Substituting the values in the equation (ii).

dF=16μ0ω2δ2R4sin2(4cosθsinθ-cosθsinθ)dθϕ=12μ0ω2δ2R4sin3θcosθdθdϕ

Double integrating the above equation with the integral limits can be expressed as:

F=12μ0δ2ω2R402π0π/2sin3θcosdθdϕ=πμ0ω2δ2R40π/2sin3θcos

…(iii)

The change in the variables can be expressed as:

x=sinθdx=cosθdθ

Substitute the value of the integral in the equation (iii).

F=πμ0ω2δ2R401x3dx=πμ0ω2δ2R4x44=πμ0ω2δ2R414=π4πμ0ω2δ2R4

Thus, the magnetic force of attraction is π4μ0ω2δ2R4.

The magnetic field on the axis of a circular current loop (Eq. 5.41) is far from uniform (it falls off sharply with increasing z). You can produce a more nearly uniform field by using two such loops a distanced apart (Fig. 5.59).

(a) Find the field (B) as a function of z, and show that Bzis zero at the point midway between them (z=0)

(b) If you pick d just right, the second derivative ofBwill also vanish at the midpoint. This arrangement is known as a Helmholtz coil; it's a convenient way of producing relatively uniform fields in the laboratory. Determine dsuch that

2B/z2=0at the midpoint, and find the resulting magnetic field at the center.

thick slab extending from z=-ato z=+a(and infinite in the x andy directions) carries a uniform volume current J=Jx^(Fig. 5.41). Find the magnetic field, as a function of z, both inside and outside the slab.

A circular loop of wire, with radius , R lies in the xy plane (centered at the origin) and carries a current running counterclockwise as viewed from the positive z axis.

(b) What is the (approximate) magnetic field at points far from the origin?

(c) Show that, for points on the z axis, your answer is consistent with the exact field (Ex. 5.6), when z>>R.
