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.]

(b) The energy density and the Poynting vector in the gap is uem=μ0I22π2a4ct2+s22and S=−I2ts2π2ε0a4s^respectively, and also the equation is satisfied.

(c) The total energy and the total power flowing into the gap is Uem=μ0ӬI2b22πa4ct2+b28and Pin=I2Ӭtb2πε0a4respectively also the power input is equal to the rate of increase of energy in the gap.

Step by step solution

01

Expression for Maxwell-Ampere Law:

Write the expression of Maxwell-Ampere Law:

∮B⋅ds=μ0I+μ0ε0dϕEdt ….. (1)

Here, B is the magnetic field produced by the moving charges, I is the current due to moving charges, is the permeability of free space and dϕEdtis the change in electric flux due to the change in velocity of the charged particles.

02

Determine the electric field and the magnetic field in the gap:

(a)

For closed curved paths, the integration of the magnetic field is zero. Hence, equation (1) becomes,

∮B⋅ds=μ0I+μ0ε0dϕEdt0=μ0I+μ0ε0dϕEdt

Rearrange the above equation for I.

I=−ε0dϕEdt….. (2)

Here, a negative sign indicates the direction of a current.

Write the formula for the electric flux.

ϕE=E⋅A ….. (3)

Here, A is the area of cross section.

Write the formula for the area of cross-section of the plates of the capacitor.

A=πr2….. (4)

Substitute the value of equations (3) and (4) in equation (2).

I=ε0dEAdtI=ε0πr2dEdtdE=Iε0πr2dt

Integrate the above equation.

∫dE=∫Iε0πr2dtE=Itε0πa2E→=Itπε0a2z^

Write the formula for the electric flux through the wire.

ϕE=∮E⋅da ….. (5)

As there is no current enclosed in the gap between the wires, the value of Iwill be zero.

Substitute the value of equation (5) in equation (1).

∮B⋅dl=μ0Ienc+μ0ε0dϕEdt∮B⋅dl=μ00+μ0ε0dE⋅dadtB2πs=0+μ0ε0dEdtπs2B2πs=μ0ε0Iπε0a2πs2

On further solving,

B→=μ0Is2πa2ϕ^

Therefore, the electric and magnetic fields in the gap is E→=Itπε0a2z^and B→=μ0Is2πa2ϕ^arespectively.

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 an infinite parallel-plate capacitor, with the lower plate (at z=−d2 ) carrying surface charge density-σ , and the upper plate (atz=+d2 ) carrying charge density +σ.

(a) Determine all nine elements of the stress tensor, in the region between the plates. Display your answer as a 3×3matrix:

TxxTxyTxzTyxTyyTyzTzxTzyTzz

(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.]

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.

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 sphere of radius R carries a uniform polarization P and a uniform magnetization M (not necessarily in the same direction). Find the electromagnetic momentum of this configuration. [Answer:49ττμ0R3(M×P)]
