All the tools & learning materials you need for study success - in one app.
Get started for freeA current flows to the right through a rectangular bar of conducting material, in the presence of a uniform magnetic fieldpointing out of the page (Fig. 5.56).
(a) If the moving charges are positive, in which direction are they deflected by the magnetic field? This deflection results in an accumulation of charge on the upper and lower surfaces of the bar, which in turn produces an electric force to counteract the magnetic one. Equilibrium occurs when the two exactly cancel. (This phenomenon is known as the Hall effect.)
(b) Find the resulting potential difference (the Hall voltage) between the top and bottom of the bar, in terms of,(the speed of the charges), and the relevant dimensions of the bar.
(c) How would your analysis change if the moving charges were negative? [The Hall effect is the classic way of determining the sign of the mobile charge carriers in a material.]
(a) Construct the scalar potential for a "pure" magnetic dipole m.
(b) Construct a scalar potential for the spinning spherical shell (Ex. 5.11). [Hint: forthis is a pure dipole field, as you can see by comparing Eqs. 5.69 and 5.87.]
(c) Try doing the same for the interior of a solid spinning sphere. [Hint: If you solved Pro b. 5.30, you already know the field; set it equal to , and solve for U. What's the trouble?]
If B is uniform,show that works. That is, check that and. Is this result unique, or are there other functions with the same divergence and curl?
Prove the following uniqueness theorem: If the current density J isspecified throughout a volume V ,and eitherthe potential A orthe magnetic field B is specified on the surface Sbounding V,then the magnetic field itself is uniquely determined throughout V.[Hint:First use the divergence theorem to show that
for arbitrary vector functions and ]
Use the results of Ex. to find the magnetic field inside a solid sphere, of uniform charge density and radius , that is rotating at a constant angular velocity
