Get started for freeThe 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 , and show that is zero at the point midway between them
(b) If you pick d just right, the second derivative ofwill 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 such that
at the midpoint, and find the resulting magnetic field at the center.
thick slab extending from to (and infinite in the x andy directions) carries a uniform volume current (Fig. 5.41). Find the magnetic field, as a function of , 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.
(a) What is its magnetic dipole moment?
(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 .
What current density would produce the vector potential, (where is a constant), in cylindrical coordinates?
Suppose that the magnetic field in some region has the form
(where kis a constant). Find the force on a square loop (side a),lying in the yz
plane and centered at the origin, if it carries a current I,flowing counterclockwise,
when you look down the xaxis.
