The magnetic field on the axis of the disk is Bα=μ0σωR48z3. The dipole field with dipole moment is good approximation for very small distance from center of rotating disk to find magnetic field on the axis of the rotating disk.

Step by step solution

01

Determine the magnetic field on the axis of rotating disk

The total charge on the small element of ring is given as:

dC2r(dr)

Here, σis the surface charge density for the rotating disk.

The time period for the revolution of disk is given as:

role="math" localid="1658118995711" dt=2rω

Here, ωis the angular velocity of rotating disk.

The current in the small element of the disk is given as:

l=dQdt

l=σ(2πr)dr2πω

role="math" localid="1658119084316" I=σ()dr

The magnetic field on the axis of rotating disk due to small element of disk is given as:

dB=μ0l2r2r2+z23/2

dB=μ0(σ()dr)2r2r2+z23/2

The total magnetic field on the axis of rotating disk is given as:

B=0RdB

B=0Rμ0(σ()dr)2r2r2+z23/2

B=μt0σω2R2+2z2R2+z22z

Apply the approximation z>>Rin the above expression.

B=μ0σω2R2+2z2R2+z22z

B=μ0σω22z21+R22z2z1+Rz1/22z

B=μ0σω22z1+R22z21R22z2+38R4z41

B=μ0σωR42z3

02

Determine the dipole field with approximation

Bd=μ0σωR48z3The dipole moment for the rotating disk by equation5.37 is given as:

m=πσωR44

The dipole field for the rotating disk is given as:

Bd=μ0m4πr3(2cosθ+sinθ)

The points on the z axis z=rand θ=0.

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

Bσ=μ0πσωR444π(z)3(2cos(0)+sin(0))

Therefore, it is clear that to obtain magnetic field on the axis of rotating disk the approximation in dipole field for very small distance compared to radius of disk.

A current flows to the right through a rectangular bar of conducting material, in the presence of a uniform magnetic fieldBpointing 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 ofB,v(the speed of the charges), and the relevant dimensions of the bar.23

(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) Complete the proof of Theorem 2, Sect. 1.6.2. That is, show that any divergenceless vector field F can be written as the curl of a vector potential . What you have to do is find Ax,Ayand Azsuch that (i) Az/y-Ay/z=Fx; (ii) Ax/z-Az/x=Fy; and (iii) Ay/x-Ax/y=Fz. Here's one way to do it: Pick Ax=0, and solve (ii) and (iii) for Ayand Az. Note that the "constants of integration" are themselves functions of y and z -they're constant only with respect to x. Now plug these expressions into (i), and use the fact that F=0to obtain

Ay=0xFz(x',y,z)dx';Az=0yFx(0,y',z)dy'-0yFy(x',y,z)dx'

(b) By direct differentiation, check that the you obtained in part (a) satisfies ×A=F. Is divergenceless? [This was a very asymmetrical construction, and it would be surprising if it were-although we know that there exists a vector whose curl is F and whose divergence is zero.]

(c) As an example, let F=yx^+zy^+xz^. Calculate , and confirm that ×A=F. (For further discussion, see Prob. 5.53.)

It may have occurred to you that since parallel currents attract, the current within a single wire should contract into a tiny concentrated stream along the axis. Yet in practice the current typically distributes itself quite uniformly over the wire. How do you account for this? If the positive charges (density ρ+) are "nailed down," and the negative charges (densityρ-) move at speed v(and none of these depends on the distance from the axis), show that ρ-=-ρ+γ2,Whereγ1/1-(v/c)2andc2=1/μ0ε0. If the wire as a whole is neutral, where is the compensating charge located?22[Notice that for typical velocities (see Prob. 5.20), the two charge densities are essentially unchanged by the current (sinceγ1). In plasmas, however, where the positive charges are also free to move, this so-called pinch effect can be very significant.]

What current density would produce the vector potential, A=kϕ^(where kis a constant), in cylindrical coordinates?

A particle of charge qenters a region of uniform magnetic field B (pointing intothe page). The field deflects the particle a distanced above the original line of flight, as shown in Fig. 5.8. Is the charge positive or negative? In terms of a, d, Band q,find the momentum of the particle.
