An infinitely long cylindrical tube, of radius a, moves at constant speed v along its axis. It carries a net charge per unit length λ, uniformly distributed over its surface. Surrounding it, at radius b, is another cylinder, moving with the same velocity but carrying the opposite charge -λ. 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.

(a)The energy per unit length stored in the fields iswl=λ24πε01+v2c2Inba.

(b) The momentum per unit length in the fields ispl=μ0λ2v2πInbaz^ .

(c) The energy per unit time transported by the fields across a plane perpendicular to the cylinders isdW=μ0λ2C2V22πInba .

Step by step solution

01

Expression for the total energy stored in electromagnetic fields:

Write the expression for the total energy stored in electromagnetic fields.

u=12ε0E2+1μ0B2…… (1)

Here, E is the electric field,ε0 is the permittivity of free space, μ0is the permeability of free space, and B is the magnetic field.

02

Determine the energy per unit length stored in the fields:

(a)

Write the expression for the electric field.

E=12πε0λss^

Here,λ is the linear charge density, and s is the surface charge density.

Write the expression for the magnetic field.

B=μ02πsϕ^

Here, I is the current, which is given as:

l=λv

Substitute the value of E, B and I in equation (1).

u=12ε012πε02λ2s2+1μ0μ02π2λ2v2s2u=λ28π2ε01+ε0μ0v21s2

Substituteε0μ0=1c2in the above expression and integrate over the volume between the cylinders.

On further solving,

wl=λ28π2ε01+v2c22πInb-Inawl=λ24π2ε01+v2c2Inba

Therefore, the energy per unit length stored in the fields is .

wl=λ24π2ε01+v2c2Inba.

03

Determine the momentum per unit length in the fields:

(b)

Write the expression for the momentum density.

g=μ0ε0SG=ε0(E×B)

Substitute the value of E and B in the above expression.

g=ε012πε0λss^×μ02πlsϕ^g=ε0λ2πε0μ0λv2πsz^pl=μ0λ2v4π2z^∫ab^1s22πsdspl=μ0λ2v4π2z^2π∫ab^1sds

On further solving,

pl=μ0λ2v4πz^(2π)lnsabpl=μ0λ2v4πlnbaz^2πInb-inapl=μ0λ2v4πlnbaz^

Therefore, the momentum per unit length in the fields ispl=μ0λ2v2πlnbaz^ .

A charged parallel-plate capacitor (with uniform electric field E=Ez^) is placed in a uniform magnetic fieldB=Bx^ , as shown in Fig. 8.6.

Figure 8.6

(a) Find the electromagnetic momentum in the space between the plates.

(b) Now a resistive wire is connected between the plates, along the z-axis, so that the capacitor slowly discharges. The current through the wire will experience a magnetic force; what is the total impulse delivered to the system, during the discharge?

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.

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).

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?

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 t=0).

(b) Find the energy density uemand the Poynting vector S in the gap. Note especially the direction of S. Check that Eq.8.12is 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 b<awell inside the gap.]
