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.

Question: Using Eq. 5.88, calculate the average magnetic field of a dipole over

a sphere of radius Rcentered at the origin. Do the angular integrals first. Compare your answer with the general theorem in Prob. 5.59. Explain the discrepancy, and indicate how Eq. 5.89 can be corrected to resolve the ambiguity at . (If you get stuck, refer to Prob. 3.48.) Evidently the truefield of a magnetic dipole is

Bdip(r)=μ04πr3[3(m·r^)r^-m]+2μ03mδ3(r)Bdip(r)=μ04πr3[3m·r^r^-m]+2μ03mδ3(r)

Compare the electrostatic analog, Eq. 3.106.

A thin glass rod of radius Rand length Lcarries a uniform surface charge σ. It is set spinning about its axis, at an angular velocityω. Find the magnetic field at a distances sRfrom the axis, in the xyplane (Fig. 5.66). [Hint: treat it as a stack of magnetic dipoles.]

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.

Prove Eq. 5.78, using Eqs. 5.63, 5.76, and 5.77. [Suggestion: I'd set up Cartesian coordinates at the surface, with Z perpendicular to the surface and X parallel to the current.]

Another way to fill in the "missing link" in Fig. 5.48 is to look for a magnetostatic analog to Eq. 2.21. The obvious candidate would be

A(r)=0r(B×dl)

(a) Test this formula for the simplest possible case-uniform B (use the origin as your reference point). Is the result consistent with Prob. 5.25? You could cure this problem by throwing in a factor of localid="1657688349235" 12, but the flaw in this equation runs deeper.

(b) Show that (B×dl)is not independent of path, by calculating (B×dl)around the rectangular loop shown in Fig. 5.63.

Figure 5.63

As far as lknow,28the best one can do along these lines is the pair of equations

(i) localid="1657688931461" v(r)=-r×01E(λr)

(ii) A(r)=-r×01λB(λr)

[Equation (i) amounts to selecting a radial path for the integral in Eq. 2.21; equation (ii) constitutes a more "symmetrical" solution to Prob. 5.31.]

(c) Use (ii) to find the vector potential for uniform B.

(d) Use (ii) to find the vector potential of an infinite straight wire carrying a steady current. Does (ii) automatically satisfy A=0[Answer:(μol/2πs)(zs^-sz^) ].
