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.]

Short Answer

Expert verified

The force of magnetic attraction between the northern and southern hemispheres is F=−πμ0σӬR222z^.

Step by step solution

01

Expression for Maxwell-stress tensor:

Write the expression of Maxwell-stress tensor:

Tij=ε0EiEj-12δijE2+1μ0BiBj-12δijB2…… (1)

Here, Tijis the magnitude of the force acting per unit area in the ithdirection of the surface, which is oriented in the jth direction, E is the electric field, and B is the magnetic field.

02

Determine the magnitude of the net force for the hemisphere:

Write the formula for the magnitude of an electromagnetic force on a charge in volume V.

F=∮T→⋅da−μ0ε0ddt∫S⋅dτ

Using equation (1), the Maxwell-stress tensor equation becomes,

T→⋅daz=Tzxdax+Tzyday+TzzdazT→⋅daz=1μ0BzBxdax+BzByday+BzBzdaz−12B2dazT→⋅daz=1μ0BzB⋅da−12B2daz….. (2)

Write the magnetic field inside the sphere.

B=23μ0σRӬz^

Write the magnetic field outside the sphere.

B=μ0m4πr32cosθr^+sinθθ^….. (3)

Here, m is the magnetic momentum which is given by,

m=43πR3σӬR

Here, R is the radius of the spherical shell, σis the surface charge density and Ӭis the angular velocity of the spinning shell.

For the hemisphere, the equation (3) becomes,


Bz=μ0m4πR32cosθr^z+sinθθ^zBz=μ0m4πR32cos2θ−sin2θBz=μ0m4πR33cos2θ−1

Write the areal vector.

da=R2sinθdθdϕr^daz=R2sinθdθdϕcosθ

Rewrite the equation as,

Bz=μ0m4πR32cosθR2sinθdθdϕ

Solve further as,

B2=μ0m74πR324cos2θ+sin2θB2=μ0m4πR323cos2θ+1

Substitute the known values in equation (2).

T→⋅daz=1μ0μ0m4πR323cos2θ−12cosθR2sinθdθdϕ−123cos2θ+1R2sinθcosθdθdϕT→⋅daz=μ0σӬR3212R2sinθcosθdθdϕ12cos2θ−4−3cos2θ−1T→⋅daz=μ02σӬR2329cos2θ−5sinθcosθdϕ

Calculate the net force for the hemisphere.

Fhemiz=μ02σӬR2322π∫0π29cos2θ−5sinθdθFhemiz=μ0πσӬR232−94cos4θ+52cos2θ0π2Fhemiz=μ0πσӬR2320+94−52Fhemiz=−μ0π4σӬR232

03

Determine the magnitude of the net force for the disk:

Write the magnetic field inside the disk.

Bz=23μ0σRӬ

Write the areal vector.

da=rdrdϕϕ^da=-rdrdϕz^\daz=-rdrdϕ

Consider the magnetic field equation.

B·daz=-23μ0σRӬrdrdϕ

Rewrite the magnetic field equation as,

B2=23μ0σRӬ2

Substitute the known values in equation (2).

T→·daz=1μ023μ0σRӬ2-rdrdϕ+12rdrdϕT→·daz=-12μ023μ0σRӬ2rdrdϕT→·daz=-2μ0σӬR322πrdrdϕ

Calculate the net force for a disk.

Fdiskz=-2μ0σӬR322π∫0RrdrFdiskz=-2πμ0σӬR232

04

Determine the force of magnetic attraction between the northern and southern hemispheres:

Write the force of magnetic attraction between the northern and southern hemispheres.

F=Fhemiz+Fdiskz

Substitute the known values in the above equation.

F=-μ0π4σӬR232+-2πμ0σӬR232F=-μ0π4σӬR232-2πμ0σӬR232F=-πμ0σӬR2322+14z^F=-πμ0σӬR222z^

05

Final Solution:

Therefore, the force of magnetic attraction between the northern and southern hemispheres is F=-πμ0σӬR222z^.

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.]

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

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.

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).
