An infinitely long cylindrical tube, of radius a, moves at constant speed v along its axis. It carries a net charge per unit length , uniformly distributed over its surface. Surrounding it, at radius b, is another cylinder, moving with the same velocity but carrying the opposite charge . Find:
(a) The energy per unit length stored in the fields.
(b) The momentum per unit length in the fields.
(c) The energy per unit time transported by the fields across a plane perpendicular to the cylinders.
Consider the charging capacitor in Prob. 7.34.
(a) Find the electric and magnetic fields in the gap, as functions of the distance s from the axis and the timet. (Assume the charge is zero at ).
(b) Find the energy density and the Poynting vector S in the gap. Note especially the direction of S. Check that is satisfied.
(c) Determine the total energy in the gap, as a function of time. Calculate the total power flowing into the gap, by integrating the Poynting vector over the appropriate surface. Check that the power input is equal to the rate of increase of energy in the gap (Eq 8.9—in this case W = 0, because there is no charge in the gap). [If you’re worried about the fringing fields, do it for a volume of radius well inside the gap.]
A point charge q is located at the center of a toroidal coil of rectangular cross section, inner radius a, outer radius a, 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.]
Calculate the power (energy per unit time) transported down the cables of Ex. 7.13 and Prob. 7 .62,, assuming the two conductors are held at potential difference V, and carry current I (down one and back up the other).
Consider an infinite parallel-plate capacitor, with the lower plate (at ) carrying surface charge density , and the upper plate (at ) carrying charge density .
(a) Determine all nine elements of the stress tensor, in the region between the plates. Display your answer as a matrix:
(b) Use Eq. 8.21 to determine the electromagnetic force per unit area on the top plate. Compare Eq. 2.51.
(c) What is the electromagnetic momentum per unit area, per unit time, crossing the xy plane (or any other plane parallel to that one, between the plates)?
(d) Of course, there must be mechanical forces holding the plates apart—perhaps the capacitor is filled with insulating material under pressure. Suppose we suddenly remove the insulator; the momentum flux (c) is now absorbed by the plates, and they begin to move. Find the momentum per unit time delivered to the top plate (which is to say, the force acting on it) and compare your answer to (b). [Note: This is not an additional force, but rather an alternative way of calculating the same force—in (b) we got it from the force law, and in (d) we do it by conservation of momentum.]
