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

Short Answer

Expert verified

The total angular momentum stored in the fields is L=μ0qeqm4πz^.

Step by step solution

01

Expression for electric field due to an electric charge and magnetic field due to a magnetic monopole:

By the given condition, draw the depicted situation.

Write the expression for an electric field due to an electric charge.

E=14πε0qer3r ……. (1)

Write the expression for the magnetic field due to the magnetic monopole.

B=μ04πqmr2r1r13 ……. (2)

02

Determine the momentum density:

Derive the expression for the radial component:

r1=r-dz^r1=(r2+d2-2rdcosθ)12

Substitute the known values in equation (2).

B=μ04Ï€qm(r-dz^)(r2+d2-2rd³¦´Ç²õθ)32

Write the expression for momentum density.

ÒÏ=ε0(E×B)

Substitute the known values in the above expression.

ÒÏ=μ0qeqm(4Ï€)2·(-d)(r×z^)r3(r2+d22rd³¦´Ç²õθ)32

03

Determine the total angular momentum stored in the fields:

Write the expression for the angular momentum density.

I=r×ÒÏ

Substitute the known values in the above expression.

I=r[μ0qeqm4π2·-dr×z^r3r2+d22rdcosθ32]I=μ0qeqmd(4π)2r×(r×z^)r3(r2+d2-2rdcosθ)32

Since,

r×(r×z^)=r(r·z^)-r2z^r×(r×z^)=r2cosθr^-r2z^

Substitute the known values in equation (3).

L=μ0qeqmd(4π)2z^∫r2(cos2θ-1)r2sinθdrdθϕr3(r2+d2-2rdcosθ)32

Let’s assume,

u=cosθdu=-sinθθ

Solve for the total angular momentum:

L=μ0qeqmd(4Ï€)2z^∫-11∫0∞∫02Ï€r2(1-u2)dudrdÏ•(r2+r2-2rdcosÏ•)32L=μ0qeqmd(4Ï€)2z^∫-11∫0Ï€r(1-u2)dudr(r2+r2-2rd³¦´Ç²õθ)32L=∫0∞rdr(r2+r2-2rdu)32L=ru-dd(1-u2)r2+d2-2rdu0∞

On further solving,

L=ud(1-u2)+dd(1-u2)dL=u+1d(1-u2)L=1d(1-u)

Solve further as:

L=μ0qeqm8πz^∫-111-u2(1-u)duL=μ0qeqm8πz^∫-11(1+u)duL=μ0qeqm8πz^[u+u22]-11L=μ0qeqm4πz^

Therefore, the total angular momentum stored in the fields is L=μ0qeqm4πz^.

Derive Eq. 8.39. [Hint: Treat the lower loop as a magnetic dipole.]

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?

Calculate the force of magnetic attraction between the northern and southern hemispheres of a uniformly charged spinning spherical shell, with radius R, angular velocity Ӭ, and surface charge density σ. [This is the same as Prob.5.44, but this time use the Maxwell stress tensor and Eq.8.21.]

Imagine two parallel infinite sheets, carrying uniform surface charge +σ(on the sheet atz=d) and-σ(at z=0). They are moving in they direction at constant speed v (as in Problem 5.17).

(a) What is the electromagnetic momentum in a region of area A?

(b) Now suppose the top sheet moves slowly down (speed u) until it reaches the bottom sheet, so the fields disappear. By calculating the total force on the charge (q=σ´¡), show that the impulse delivered to the sheet is equal to the momentum originally stored in the fields.

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 ]
