A perfectly conducting spherical shell of radius rotates about the z axis with angular velocity , in a uniform magnetic field . Calculate the emf developed between the 鈥渘orth pole鈥 and the equator. Answer:localid="1658295408106" .
In a perfect conductor, the conductivity is infinite, so (Eq. 7.3), and any net charge resides on the surface (just as it does for an imperfect conductor, in electrostatics).
(a) Show that the magnetic field is constant , inside a perfect conductor.
(b) Show that the magnetic flux through a perfectly conducting loop is constant.
A superconductor is a perfect conductor with the additional property that the (constant) B inside is in fact zero. (This "flux exclusion" is known as the Meissner effect.)
(c) Show that the current in a superconductor is confined to the surface.
(d) Superconductivity is lost above a certain critical temperature , which varies from one material to another. Suppose you had a sphere (radius ) above its critical temperature, and you held it in a uniform magnetic field while cooling it below . Find the induced surface current density K, as a function of the polar angle.
A rectangular loop of wire is situated so that one end (height h) is between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor (Fig. 7.9), oriented parallel to the field E. The other end is way outside, where the field is essentially zero. What is the emf in this loop? If the total resistance is R, what current flows? Explain. [Warning: This is a trick question, so be careful; if you have invented a perpetual motion machine, there's probably something wrong with it.]
An infinite number of different surfaces can be fit to a given boundary line, and yet, in defining the magnetic flux through a loop, da, I never specified the particular surface to be used. Justify this apparent oversight.
A square loop, side a , resistance R , lies a distance from an infinite straight wire that carries current l (Fig. 7.29). Now someone cuts the wire, so l drops to zero. In what direction does the induced current in the square loop flow, and what total charge passes a given point in the loop during the time this current flows? If you don't like the scissors model, turn the current down gradually:
