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.]

Short Answer

(a) The electric and magnetic fields in the gap is E→=Itπε0a2z^and B→=μ0Is2πa2ϕ^arespectively.

(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.

Question: A point chargeqis a distancea>Rfrom the axis of an infinite solenoid (radius R, n turns per unit length, current I). Find the linear momentum and the angular momentum (with respect to the origin) in the fields. (Put q on the x axis, with the solenoid along z; treat the solenoid as a nonconductor, so you don’t need to worry about induced charges on its surface.)

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

Because the cylinders in Ex. 8.4 are left rotating (at angular velocities wa and wb, say), there is actually a residual magnetic field, and hence angular momentum in the fields, even after the current in the solenoid has been extinguished. If the cylinders are heavy, this correction will be negligible, but it is interesting to do the problem without making that assumption.

(a) Calculate (in terms of wa and wb ) the final angular momentum in the fields. [Define Ó¬=Ó¬z^, sowa and wb could be positive or negative.]

(b) As the cylinders begin to rotate, their changing magnetic field induces an extra azimuthal electric field, which, in turn, will make an additional contribution to the torques. Find the resulting extra angular momentum, and compare it with your result in (a).

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.]

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)]
