Suppose you wanted to find the field of a circular loop (Ex. 5.6) at a point rthat is not directly above the center (Fig. 5.60). You might as well choose your axes so that rlies in the yzplane at (0,y,z). The source point is ( Rcos φ',Rsin ϕ',0, and ϕ'runs from 0 to 2JJ. Set up the integrals25 from which you could calculate Bx,Byand Bzand evaluate Bxexplicitly.

Step by step solution

01

Determine the position vector and its magnitude for magnetic field.

Consider the figure for the given condition:

The position vector for the magnetic field is given as:

p^=-Rcosϕ+(y-Rsinϕ)y^+zz^

Here, ϕis the angle for the circular loop and Ris the radius of the circular loop.

The magnitude of the position vector is given as:

\begin{aligned}&p=\sqrt{(R\cos\phi)^{2}+(y-R\sin\phi)^{2}+z^{2}}\\&p=\left[(R\cos\phi)^{2}+(y-R\sin\phi)^{2}+z^{2}\right]^{1/2}\end{aligned}

The length of the small element of the circular loop is calculated as:

\begin{aligned}&l_{\bar{y}}^{z}=(R\cos\phi)\hat{x}+(R\sin\phi)\hat{y}+z\hat{z}\\&dl_{y}=-(R\sin\phi)d\phi\hat{x}+(R\cos\phi)d\phi\hat{y}+0\\&dl=-(R\sin\phi)d\phi\hat{x}+(R\cos\phi)d\phi\hat{y}\end{aligned}

The vector product of position vector and length vector of circular loop is given as:

\begin{aligned}&d\vec{d}\times\hat{p}=[-(R\sin\phi)d\phi\hat{x}+(R\cos\phi)d\phi\hat{y}]\times[-R\cos\phi\hat{x}+(y-R\sin\phi)\hat{y}+z\hat{z}]\\&dl\times\hat{p}=(Rz\cos\phid\phi)\hat{x}+(Rz\sin\phid\phi)\hat{y}+\left(-Ry\sin\phid\phi+R^{2}+d\phi\right)\hat{z}\end{aligned}

02

Determine the components of magnetic field of circular loop

The x component of the magnetic field of circular loop is given as:

Bx=μ0l2π4π02πdl×pΔp3

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}&B_{x}=\frac{\mu_{0}I^{2\pi}}{4\pi}\int_{0}^{2}\frac{\left[(Rz\cos\phid\phi)\hat{x}+(Rz\sin\phid\phi)\hat{y}+\left(-Ry\sin\phid\phi+R^{2}+d\phi\right)\hat{z}\right]}{\left[\left[(R\cos\phi)^{2}+(y-R\sin\phi)^{2}+z^{2}\right]^{1/2}\right]^{3}}\\&B_{x}=0\end{aligned}

The y component of the magnetic field of circular loop is given as:

By=μ04π02πdlLR×pp3

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

By=μ04π02π(Rzcosϕdϕ)x^+(Rz)y^+-Rysinϕdϕ+R2+dϕz^(Rcosϕ)2+(y-Rsinϕ)2+z21/23

By=μ0IRz2π4π02sinϕdϕ(Rcosϕ)2+(y-Rsinϕ)2+z23/2

Thez component of the magnetic field of circular loop is given as:

Bz=μ0J2π4π0Ndl×pNp3

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}&B_{z}=\frac{\mu_{0}I^{2\pi}}{4\pi}\int_{0}^{[}\frac{[Rz\cos\phid\phi)\hat{x}+(Rz)\hat{y}+\left(-Ry+R^{2}+d\phi\right)}{\left[\left[(R\cos\phi)^{2}+(y-R\sin\phi)^{2}+z^{2}\right]^{1/2}\right]^{3}}\\&B_{z}=\frac{\mu_{0}IR^{2\pi}}{4\pi}\int_{0}^{2\pi}\frac{(R-y\sin\phi)d\phi}{\left[(R\cos\phi)^{2}+(y-R\sin\phi)^{2}+z^{2}\right]^{3/2}}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the x,yand zcomponent of the magnetic field of the circular loop are 0 ,

\begin{aligned}&\frac{\mu_{0}IRz}{4\pi}\int_{0}^{2\pi}\frac{\sin\phid\phi}{\left[(R\cos\phi)^{2}+(y-R\sin\phi)^{2}+z^{2}\right]^{3/2}}\text{and}\\&\frac{\mu_{0}IR}{4\pi}\int_{0}^{2\pi}\frac{(R-y\sin\phi)d\phi}{\left[(R\cos\phi)^{2}+(y-R\sin\phi)^{2}+z^{2}\right]^{3/2}}\end{aligned}

(a) one way to fill in the "missing link" in Fig. 5.48 is to exploit the analogy between the defining equations for A(viz-A=0,×A=B)and Maxwell's equations forB(viz.B=0×B=μ0J).Evidently A depends on B in exactly the same way that B depends onμ0J(to wit: the Biot-Savart law). Use this observation to write down the formula for A in terms of B.

(b) The electrical analog to your result in (a) is
