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^.

In Ex. 8.4, suppose that instead of turning off the magnetic field (by reducing I) we turn off the electric field, by connecting a weakly conducting radial spoke between the cylinders. (We’ll have to cut a slot in the solenoid, so the cylinders can still rotate freely.) From the magnetic force on the current in the spoke, determine the total angular momentum delivered to the cylinders, as they discharge (they are now rigidly connected, so they rotate together). Compare the initial angular momentum stored in the fields (Eq. 8.34). (Notice that the mechanism by which angular momentum is transferred from the fields to the cylinders is entirely different in the two cases: in Ex. 8.4 it was Faraday’s law, but here it is the Lorentz force law.)

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 ]

out the formulas for u, S, g, and T↔in the presence of magnetic charge. [Hint: Start with the generalized Maxwell equations (7.44) and Lorentz force law (Eq. 8.44), and follow the derivations in Sections 8.1.2, 8.2.2, and 8.2.3.]

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)]

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?
