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.)

Step by step solution

01

Expression for the angular momentum delivered to the cylinder, the torque on the spoke and force on the segment of the spoke:

Write the expression for the angular momentum delivered to the cylinder.

L=∫Ndt ……. (1)

Here, N is the torque on the spoke.

Write the expression for the torque on the spoke.

N=∫0Rr×dF ……. (2)

Here, r is the position vector.

Write the expression for the force on the segment of the spoke.

dF=l'dl×B …… (3)

Here, is the length element and l'is the current.

02

Determine the force on the segment of the spoke:

Write the expression for the magnetic field inside the solenoid for a<r<R.

B=μnlz^

Write the expression for the length element.

dl=drr^

Substitute the known values in equation (3).

dF=l'drr^μ0nlz^dF=l'μ0nldrr^×z^dF=l'μ0nldrϕ

03

Determine the torque on the spoke:

Write the expression for the position vector.

r=rr^

Substitute the known values in equation (2).

N=∫0Rrr^×-l'μ0nldrϕN=l'μ0nl∫0rrdr-r^×ϕ^N=l'μ0nlr220Rz^N=-12l'μ0nlR2-a2z^

04

Determine the angular momentum delivered to the cylinder:

Substitute the known values in equation (1).

L=∫-12l'μ0nlR2-a2z^dtL=-12l'μ0nlR2-a2∫l'dtz^

Consider the expression for the charge on the cylinder.

Q=∫l'dt

Rewrite the equation for the angular momentum.

L=-12l'μ0nlR2-a2Qz^

Now, compare the initial angular momentum stored in the fields with the above expression.

L=-12μ0nlR2-a2Qz^

Therefore, the angular momentum delivered to the cylinder is L=-12μ0nlR2-a2Qz^.

Most popular questions from this chapter

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.]

(a) Consider two equal point charges q, separated by a distance 2a. Construct the plane equidistant from the two charges. By integrating Maxwell’s stress tensor over this plane, determine the force of one charge on the other.

(b) Do the same for charges that are opposite in sign.

A charged parallel-plate capacitor (with uniform electric field E=Ez^) is placed in a uniform magnetic field B=Bx^, as shown in Fig. 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?

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.]

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 a3×3matrix:

(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.]
