Consider a solid containing Natoms per unit volume, each atom having a magnetic dipole moment μ→. Suppose the direction ofμ→can be only parallel or anti-parallel to an externally applied magnetic field (this will be the case if is due to the spin of a single electron). According to statistical mechanics, the probability of an atom being in a state with energy Uis proportional toe-UKT, where Tis the temperature and kis Boltzmann’s constant. Thus, because energy Uis, the fraction of atoms whose dipole moment is parallel to is proportional toeμµþKTand the fraction of atoms whose dipole moment is anti-parallel to is proportional toe-μµþKT. (a) Show that the magnitude of the magnetization of this solid isM=μ±·tanh(μµþkT). Here tanh is the hyperbolic tangent function:tanh(x)=(ex-e-x)/(ex+e-x)(b) Show that the result given in (a) reduces toM=±·Î¼2B/kTforμµþ≪kT(c) Show that the result of (a) reduces torole="math" localid="1662964931865" M=±·Î¼forrole="math" localid="1662964946451" μµþ≫kT.(d) Show that both (b) and (c) agree qualitatively with Figure.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Magnetization M=±·Î¼â‹…tanhμµþkT.
  2. Magnetization Mforμµþ≪kT is,M=±·Î¼2BkBT.
  3. Magnetization Mforμµþ≫kTis,M=±·Î¼.
  4. The plotted graph has a similar nature, so (b) and (c) agree qualitatively with figure 32-14.

Step by step solution

Listing the given quantities

Probability of dipole moment to point upp(+μ)=e+μµþ/kT

Probability of dipole moment to point upp(−μ)=e−μµþ/kT

tanhx=ex−e−xex+e−x

Understanding the concepts of magnetization

We will use relation for magnetization and average magnetic moment formula to derive the required expression.

Formula:

Ifp(xi)is the probability of occurrence ofxi, then the average of x is defined as

x=∑i=1Nxi⋅p(xi)∑i=1Np(xi)

Average magnetic moment is given by

μ=∑i=1Nμi⋅p(μi)∑i=1Np(μi)

Magnetization per unit volume isM=μ1m3=μ

(a) Calculations of the magnitude of the magnetization

Average magnetic moment is given by

μ=∑i=1Nμi⋅p(μi)∑i=1Np(μi)

The solid contains N atoms per unit volume, and all atoms are of the same type. Therefore, the magnetic moments due to each atom will be the same in magnitude. Hence by this argument, we set

μ1=μ2=μ3−−−−=μN=μ

Using this condition, summation becomes

μ=∑i=1Nμiâ‹…p(μi)∑i=1Np(μi)=±·Î¼â‹…p(μ)∑i=1Np(μ)

Let μ=+μif it is pointing parallel to the appliedBextfield;

Andμ=−μif it is pointing anti-parallel to the appliedBextfield.

Then the average magnetic moment becomes

role="math" localid="1662965537727" μ=±·Î¼â‹…p(μ)∑i=1Np(μ)=N(+μ)p(+μ)+N(−μ)p(−μ)p(+μ)+p(−μ)=±·Î¼â‹…p(+μ)−±·Î¼â‹…p(−μ)p(+μ)+p(−μ)

Magnetization per unit volume is

M=μ1m3=μ; it then becomes

M=±·Î¼â‹…e+μµþkT−±·Î¼â‹…e−μµþkTe+μµþkT+e−μµþkT=±·Î¼â‹…e+μµþkT−e−μµþkTe+μµþkT+e−μµþkT

M=±·Î¼â‹…tanhμµþkT

MagnetizationM=±·Î¼â‹…tanhμµþkT

04

(b) Calculations of the magnetization M for role="math" localid="1662965751913" μB≪kT

As μµþ≪kT,which impliesμµþkT≪1

WhenμµþkT≪1

e±μµþkT≈1±μµþkT

M=±·Î¼â‹…1+μµþkT−1−μµþkT1+μµþkT+1−μµþkT=2μµþkT2â‹…±·Î¼=±·Î¼2BkBT

Hence magnetizationM for μµþ≪kTis M=±·Î¼2BkBT.

05

(c) Calculations of the magnetization M for μB≫kT

As μµþ≫kT,which impliesμµþkT≫1

tanhμµþkT≈1

M=±·Î¼â‹…tanhμµþkT=±·Î¼

MagnetizationM for μµþ≫kTis M=±·Î¼.

You place a magnetic compass on a horizontal surface, allow the needle to settle, and then give the compass a gentle wiggle to cause the needle to oscillate about its equilibrium position. The oscillation frequency is 0.312Hz. Earth’s magnetic field at the location of the compass has a horizontal component of18.0μ°Õ. The needle has a magnetic moment of0.680mJ/T. What is the needle’s rotational inertia about its (vertical) axis of rotation?

Two wires, parallel to a z-axis and a distance 4rapart, carry equal currents i in opposite directions, as shown in Figure. A circular cylinder of radius r and length L has its axis on the z-axis, midway between the wires. Use Gauss’ law for magnetism to derive an expression for the net outward magnetic flux through the half of the cylindrical surface above the xaxis. (Hint: Find the flux through the portion of the xzplane that lies within the cylinder.)
