Assume that an electron of mass mand charge magnitude emoves in a circular orbit of radius rabout a nucleus. A uniform magnetic fieldis then established perpendicular to the plane ofthe orbit. Assuming also that the radius of the orbit does not change and that the change in the speed of the electron due to fieldis small, find an expression for the change in the orbital magnetic dipole moment of the electron due to the field.

Understanding the concepts of magnetic moment

The electric field is induced due to the changing applied magnetic field and due to the induced electric field, there is a change in velocity of the electron moving in a circular orbit.

Magnetic moment of electron depends on the velocity, as velocity changes magnetic moment also changes. This idea is used to derive the required relation for change in magnetic moment of an electron.

Formula:

Current associated with circulating electron is

i=eT=ev2Ï€r

Acceleration,dv→dt=a→

Magnetic dipole moment,

μ→=iA→=i⋅πr2

Magnitude of force on electron kept in an electric fieldF=qE

Calculations of the expression for the change in the orbital magnetic dipole moment of the electron due to the field 

Electric field with the circular field lines is induced due to the applied magnetic field. Suppose the magnetic field increases linearly from zero toin time t, i.e. the change in the magnetic field is

dB=B−0=B

and

The change in time is

dt=t−0=t

the magnitude of the electric field at the orbit is given by

E=r2â‹…dBdt=r2â‹…Bt(1)

Where,is the radius of the orbit.

The induced electric field is tangent to the orbit and changes the speed of the electron.

The change in the speed being given by

dv=|a→|dt=at

By using Newton’s second law,F=maand the force on the electron in an electric field

F=qE=eE

Thus,ma=eE

a=eEme

Thus, thechange in speed is

dv=at=eEmet

Substituting the value of E from equation (1),

dv=etmerB2t=erB2me(2)

Now, the current associated with the circulating electron is

i=eT=ev2Ï€r

The magnitude of the magnetic dipole moment,

μ=iA=i⋅πr2=ev2πr⋅πr2=evr2

So, the change in the magnetic dipole movement will be

Δμ=er2⋅dv

From equation(2),

Δμ=er2⋅erB2me=e2r24me⋅B

The expression for the change in the orbital magnetic dipole moment of the electron due to the field isΔμ=e2r2B4me

A capacitor with square plates of edge length L is being discharged by a current of 0.75 A. Figure 32-29 is a head-on view of one of the plates from inside the capacitor. A dashed rectangular path is shown. If L = 12cm, W = 4.0 cm , and H = 2.0 cm , what is the value ∮B⇶Ä×ds⇶Äof around the dashed path?

A Gaussian surface in the shape of a right circular cylinder with end caps has a radius of 12.0 cmand a length of 80.0 cm. Through one end there is an inward magnetic flux25.0μWb. At the other end, there is a uniform magnetic field 1.60 mT, normal to the surface and directed outward. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (inward or outward) of the net magnetic flux through the curved surface?

The magnitude of the magnetic dipole moment of Earth is 8.0×1022J/T. (a) If the origin of this magnetism were a magnetized iron sphere at the center of Earth, what would be its radius? (b) What fraction of the volume of Earth would such a sphere occupy? Assume complete alignment of the dipoles. The density of Earth’s inner core isrole="math" localid="1662967671929" 14g/cm3 .The magnetic dipole moment of an iron atom is 2.1×10-23J/T. (Note:Earth’s inner core is in fact thought to be in both liquid and solid forms and partly iron, but a permanent magnet as the source of Earth’s magnetism has been ruled out by several considerations. For one, the temperature is certainly above the Curie point.)

Measurements in mines and boreholes indicate that Earth’s interior temperature increases with depth at the average rate of 30°C/km . Assuming a surface temperature of10°C , at what depth does iron cease to be ferromagnetic? (The Curie temperature of iron varies very little with pressure.)

A parallel-plate capacitor with circular plates of radius R=16mmand gap widthd=5.0mmhas a uniform electric field between the plates.
