[FREE SOLUTION] | 91Ó°ÊÓ

91Ó°ÊÓ

An infinite cylinder of radius R carries a uniform surface charge σ. We propose to set it spinning about its axis, at a final angular velocity Ӭ. How much work will this take, per unit length? Do it two ways, and compare your answers:

(a) Find the magnetic field and the induced electric field (in the quasistatic approximation), inside and outside the cylinder, in terms of Ó¬,Ó¬,ands(the distance from the axis). Calculate the torque you must exert, and from that obtain the work done per unit length(W=∫±·»åÏ•).

(b) Use Eq. 7.35 to determine the energy stored in the resulting magnetic field.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The radius of the infinite cylinder is, R .

The uniform surface charge on the cylinder is, σ.

The final angular velocity of the spinning cylinder is, Ó¬f.

02

Magnetic force on a solenoid

Consider for a current carrying solenoid of certain radius is kept in an electric or magnetic field and rotated about a certain axis then it experiences a force. The force experienced by the solenoid is described as the ‘Lenz’s magnetic force’.

The value of the force acting on the solenoid relies upon the direction of the movement of the solenoid and amount of supplied current.

Step 3(a): Determine the torque exerted to obtain work done per unit length

s>RThe formula for the magnetic field inside the solenoid s<Ris given by,

B=μ0Kz^B=μ0σӬRz^

And, the magnetic field outside the solenoid s>Ris given by,

B=0

The formula for the induced electric field inside the solenoid s<Rdue to the change in the magnetic field of the solenoid is given by,

E=-S2dBdtϕ^E=-sR2μ0σӬ.ϕ^

And, the induced electric field outside the solenoid s>Rdue to the change in the magnetic field of the solenoid is given by,

E=-R22sdBdtϕ^E=-R32sμ0σӬϕ^.

Now at the surface of the solenoid (s=R) , the value of the electric field will be,

E=-12μ0R2σӬ.ϕ^

Due to this electric field, there is a torque that acts on the cylinder length.

Assume, the length of the cylinder is I.

Then the formula for the torque developed (N) on the length of the cylinder is given by,

N=-Rσ2Ï€¸é±õ12μ0R2σӬ.z^N=-πμ0σ2R4Ó¬./Z^

The formula for the total torque exerted to obtain the work done (W) per unit length of the cylinder is given by,

W=∫±·»åÏ•W=∫-πμ0σ2R4∫dÓ¬dt»åÏ•WI=-πμ0σ2R4∫dÓ¬dt»åÏ•

Taking,»åÏ•=Ó¬dt,

WI=-πμ0σ2R4∫dӬdtӬdtWI=-πμ0σ2R4∫ӬdӬ

Integrating the expression between limits 0 and Ó¬f,

WI=-πμ0σ2R4∫0ӬfӬdӬWI=-πμ0σ2R4Ӭ220ӬfWI=-πμ0σ2R4Ӭf22-0WI=-μ0π2σӬfR22

Here, the negative sign indicates that that the work is done by the field.

Hence, the total torque exerted to obtain the work done per unit length is -μ0π2σӬfR22.

04

Step 4(b): Determine the energy stored in the resulting magnetic field

The formula for the uniform magnetic field inside the solenoid is given by,

B=μ0Kz^B=μ0σӬfRz^

Using conservation of energy, the formula for the energy stored Uin the resulting magnetic field is given by,

U+W=0U+-μ0Ï€±õ2σӬfR2=0U=μ0Ï€±õ2σӬfR2

Hence, the energy stored in the resulting magnetic field isμ0Ï€±õ2σӬfR2 .

Most popular questions from this chapter

Two concentric metal spherical shells, of radius a and b, respectively, are separated by weakly conducting material of conductivityσ(Fig. 7 .4a).

(a) If they are maintained at a potential difference V, what current flows from one to the other?

(b) What is the resistance between the shells?

(c) Notice that if b>>a the outer radius (b) is irrelevant. How do you account for that? Exploit this observation to determine the current flowing between two metal spheres, each of radius a, immersed deep in the sea and held quite far apart (Fig. 7 .4b ), if the potential difference between them is V. (This arrangement can be used to measure the conductivity of sea water.)

A toroidal coil has a rectangular cross section, with inner radius a , outer radius a+w, and height h . It carries a total of N tightly wound turns, and the current is increasing at a constant rate (dl/dt=k). If w and h are both much less than a , find the electric field at a point z above the center of the toroid. [Hint: Exploit the analogy between Faraday fields and magnetostatic fields, and refer to Ex. 5.6.]

Suppose the circuit in Fig. 7.41 has been connected for a long time when suddenly, at time t=0, switch S is thrown from A to B, bypassing the battery.

Notice the similarity to Eq. 7.28-in a sense, the rectangular toroid is a short coaxial cable, turned on its side.

(a) What is the current at any subsequent time t?

(b) What is the total energy delivered to the resistor?

(c) Show that this is equal to the energy originally stored in the inductor.

Suppose the conductivity of the material separating the cylinders in Ex. 7.2 is not uniform; specifically, σ(s)=k/s, for some constant . Find the resistance between the cylinders. [Hint: Because a is a function of position, Eq. 7.5 does not hold, the charge density is not zero in the resistive medium, and E does not go like 1/s. But we do know that for steady currents is the same across each cylindrical surface. Take it from there.]

The magnetic field outside a long straight wire carrying a steady current I is

B=μ02πIsϕ^

The electric field inside the wire is uniform:

E=IÒÏÏ€a2z^,

Where ÒÏis the resistivity and a is the radius (see Exs. 7.1 and 7 .3). Question: What is the electric field outside the wire? 29 The answer depends on how you complete the circuit. Suppose the current returns along a perfectly conducting grounded coaxial cylinder of radius b (Fig. 7.52). In the region a < s < b, the potential V (s, z) satisfies Laplace's equation, with the boundary conditions

(i) V(a,z)=IÒÏzÏ€a2 ; (ii) V(b,z)=0

Figure 7.52

This does not suffice to determine the answer-we still need to specify boundary conditions at the two ends (though for a long wire it shouldn't matter much). In the literature, it is customary to sweep this ambiguity under the rug by simply stipulating that V (s,z) is proportional to V (s,z) = zf (s) . On this assumption:

(a) Determine (s).

(b) E (s,z).

(c) Calculate the surface charge density σ(z)on the wire.

[Answer: V=(-IzÒÏ/Ï€a2) This is a peculiar result, since Es and σ(z)are not independent of localid="1658816847863" z→as one would certainly expect for a truly infinite wire.]
