Figure 29-80 shows a cross-section of a long cylindrical conductor of radius a=4 cmcontaining a long cylindrical hole of radiusb=1.50cm. The central axes of the cylinder and hole are parallel and are distanced=2cmapart; currentis uniformly distributed over the tinted area. (a) What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the hole? (b) Discuss the two special casesb=0andd=0.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Magnitude of magnetic field at the center of the hole is1.53×10-5T.
  2. When b=0, then we get non-zero value of the field, and when d=0we get the field zero.

Understanding the concept of Biot-Savart law

An equation known as the Biot-Savart Law describes the magnetic field produced by a steady electric current. It connects the electric current's strength, direction, length, and proximity to the magnetic field.

We use Biot-Savart law to find the magnetic field inside the wire.Since the current is uniform we use the current density formula to find the current in a solid cylinder of different radii. Using these different values of current we can find the magnetic field inside the two different regions. Adding these two fields at the required distance, we get the net magnetic field at that point.

Formulae:

B=μ0ir2πR2

J=iA

Determining the magnitude of magnetic field at the center of the hole.

Magnitude of magnetic field at the center of the hole.

The magnetic field at any point inside the wire of which the current is uniformly distributed over its cross section is given by

B=μ0ir2Ï€R2 …(¾±)

Where ris the distance from the axis of the cylinder and Ris the radius of the cylinder.

The current density is given by

J=iA

The cross-sectional area of the cylinder with the hole is

A=Ï€a2-b2

Hence, the current density with the hole is given by

J=iÏ€a2-b2 …(¾±¾±)

Now the current without the hole is given by

I1=JA=Ï€a2J

Substituting the value of Jfrom equation (ii) we get

I1=Ï€a2iÏ€a2-b2=ia2a2-b2 …(¾±¾±¾±)

This current produces the magnetic field inside the cylinder at distance r1; therefore, from equation (i)

B1=μ0I1r12Ï€a2 …(¾±±¹)

Substituting the value of (iii) in (iv) we get

B1=μ0ia2r12πa2a2-b2=μ0ir12πa2-b2

Now the current inside the cylinder that fills the hole is

I2=Ï€Jb2=ib2a2-b2 …(±¹)

This current produces the magnetic field inside a distance r2from the axis, and has magnitude

I2=Ï€Jb2=ib2a2-b2 …(±¹¾±)

Substituting the value of from (v) in (vi) we get

B2=μ0ib2r22πb2a2-b2=μ0ir22πa2-b2

At the center of the hole r2=0, hence, this field is zero at the center. Hence, the net field at the center of the hole is only B1

And the distance r1from the center of cylinder to center of hole is d

B1=μ0ir12πa2-b2B=μ0id2πa2-b2

μo=4π×10-7TmA,i=5.25A,d=2×10-2m,a=4×10-2m …(±¹¾±¾±)

b=1.50×10-2m

B=4π×10-7T.mA5.25A2×10-2m2π4×10-2m2-1.50×10-2m2=1.53×10-5T

04

(b) Discuss the special cases  and.

Special cases : b=0,d=0

If b=0then from equation (vii) the net field is

B=μ0id2πa2-b2

B=μ0id2πa2

This is the field due to a solid cylinder carrying a uniform current iinside the cylinder at a distance from the axis of the cylinder.

If d=0

Then B = 0

This is the field on the axis of the cylindrical shell carrying uniform current because the current enclosed in this case is zero.

Figure 29-29 gives, as a function of radial distance r, the magnitude Bof the magnetic field inside and outside four wires (a, b, c, and d), each of which carries a current that is uniformly distributed across the wire’s cross section. Overlapping portions of the plots (drawn slightly separated) are indicated by double labels. Rank the wires according to (a) radius, (b) the magnitude of the magnetic field on the surface, and (c) the value of the current, greatest first. (d) Is the magnitude of the current density in wire agreater than, less than, or equal to that in wire c?

Figure 29-34 shows three arrangements of three long straight wires carrying equal currents directly into or out of the page. (a) Rank the arrangements according to the magnitude of the net force on wire Adue to the currents in the other wires, greatest first. (b) In arrangement 3, is the angle between the net force on wire A and the dashed line equal to, less than, or more than 45°?

The current-carrying wire loop in Fig. 29-60a lies all in one plane and consists of a semicircle of radius 10.0cm, a smaller semicircle with the same center, and two radial lengths. The smaller semicircle is rotated out of that plane by angleθ, until it is perpendicular to the plane (Fig.29-60b). Figure 29-60c gives the magnitude of the net magnetic field at the center of curvature versus angleθ . The vertical scale is set byBa=10.0μTandBb=12.0μT. What is the radius of the smaller semicircle?

One long wire lies along an xaxis and carries a current of30A in the positive xdirection. A second long wire is perpendicular to the xyplane, passes through the point 0,4.0m,0, and carries a current of 40A in the positive zdirection. What is the magnitude of the resulting magnetic field at the point0,2.0m,0?
