[FREE SOLUTION] | 91Ó°ÊÓ

91Ó°ÊÓ

Imagine an iron sphere of radius R that carries a charge Q and a uniform magnetization M=Mz^. The sphere is initially at rest.

(a) Compute the angular momentum stored in the electromagnetic fields.

(b) Suppose the sphere is gradually (and uniformly) demagnetized (perhaps by heating it up past the Curie point). Use Faraday’s law to determine the induced electric field, find the torque this field exerts on the sphere, and calculate the total angular momentum imparted to the sphere in the course of the demagnetization.

(c) Suppose instead of demagnetizing the sphere we discharge it, by connecting a grounding wire to the north pole. Assume the current flows over the surface in such a way that the charge density remains uniform. Use the Lorentz force law to determine the torque on the sphere, and calculate the total angular momentum imparted to the sphere in the course of the discharge. (The magnetic field is discontinuous at the surface ….does this matter?) [Answer:29μ0MQR2 ]

Short Answer

Picture the electron as a uniformly charged spherical shell, with charge e and radius R, spinning at angular velocity Ó¬.

(a) Calculate the total energy contained in the electromagnetic fields.

(b) Calculate the total angular momentum contained in the fields.

(c) According to the Einstein formula E=mc2, the energy in the fields should contribute to the mass of the electron. Lorentz and others speculated that the entire mass of the electron might be accounted for in this way: uem=mec2. Suppose, moreover, that the electron’s spin angular momentum is entirely attributable to the electromagnetic fields:Lem=ħ2 On these two assumptions, determine the radius and angular velocity of the electron. What is their product, ӬR? Does this classical model make sense?

A very long solenoid of radius a, with n turns per unit length, carries a current ls. Coaxial with the solenoid, at radiusb>>a , is a circular ring of wire, with resistance R. When the current in the solenoid is (gradually) decreased, a currentir is induced in the ring.

a) Calculate role="math" localid="1657515994158" lr, in terms ofrole="math" localid="1657515947581" dlsdt .

(b) The power role="math" localid="1657515969938" (lr2R)delivered to the ring must have come from the solenoid. Confirm this by calculating the Poynting vector just outside the solenoid (the electric field is due to the changing flux in the solenoid; the magnetic field is due to the current in the ring). Integrate over the entire surface of the solenoid, and check that you recover the correct total power.

Two concentric spherical shells carry uniformly distributed charges +Q(at radius a) and -Q (at radius ). They are immersed in a uniform magnetic field B=B0z^.

(a) Find the angular momentum of the fields (with respect to the center).

(b) Now the magnetic field is gradually turned off. Find the torque on each sphere, and the resulting angular momentum of the system.

Suppose you had an electric charge qeand a magnetic monopole qm. The field of the electric charge is

E=14πε0qr2r^

(of course), and the field of the magnetic monopole is

B=μ04πqmr2r^.

Find the total angular momentum stored in the fields, if the two charges are separated by a distance d. [Answer: (μ04π)qeqm]20

A point charge q is located at the center of a toroidal coil of rectangular cross section, inner radius a, outer radius a+W, and height h, which carries a total of N tightly-wound turns and current I.

(a) Find the electromagnetic momentum p of this configuration, assuming that w and h are both much less than a (so you can ignore the variation of the fields over the cross section).

(b) Now the current in the toroid is turned off, quickly enough that the point charge does not move appreciably as the magnetic field drops to zero. Show that the impulse imparted to q is equal to the momentum originally stored in the electromagnetic fields. [Hint: You might want to refer to Prob. 7.19.]
