A familiar demonstration of superconductivity (Prob. 7.44) is the levitation of a magnet over a piece of superconducting material. This phenomenon can be analyzed using the method of images. Treat the magnet as a perfect dipole , m a height z above the origin (and constrained to point in the z direction), and pretend that the superconductor occupies the entire half-space below the xy plane. Because of the Meissner effect, B = 0 for Z0, and since B is divergenceless, the normal ( z) component is continuous, so Bz=0just above the surface. This boundary condition is met by the image configuration in which an identical dipole is placed at - z , as a stand-in for the superconductor; the two arrangements therefore produce the same magnetic field in the region z>0.

(a) Which way should the image dipole point (+ z or -z)?

(b) Find the force on the magnet due to the induced currents in the superconductor (which is to say, the force due to the image dipole). Set it equal to Mg (where M is the mass of the magnet) to determine the height h at which the magnet will "float." [Hint: Refer to Prob. 6.3.]

(c) The induced current on the surface of the superconductor ( xy the plane) can be determined from the boundary condition on the tangential component of B (Eq. 5.76): B=0(Kz^). Using the field you get from the image configuration, show that

K=-3mrh2(r2+h2)52^

where r is the distance from the origin.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The magnitude of the dipole moment is, m.

The height of the dipole above the origin is,h .

The mass of the magnet is,M .

The equivalent uniform surface current is,K .

02

Define Meissner effect

The value of the magnetic field inside the superconducting material does not reduce but it cancels out entirely because of the perfect diamagnetism present inside the material.

So when a superconducting material is kept in a magnetic field then the value of the magnetic field inside that particular material would be zero. This effect is described as the 鈥淢eissner effect鈥.

03

Step 3(a): Determine the direction of the image dipole

When a magnet is levitated over a piece of superconducting material, then this phenomenon can be analyzed using an identical dipole placed at- z plane. The images showing the magnetic field in the region are given below,

From the above figures it is clear that to make the magnetic field parallel to the plane, two monopoles of the same sign are required, so the image dipole points down (-z).

Hence, the image dipole points towards the downward - z plane.

04

Step 4(b): Determine height at which the magnet will float

The diagram of the two dipoles of magnitude m and -m located at the planes z and -z is given by,

Here, r1and r2are the radial distances of two dipoles at an angle of from the vertical.

Referring to the prob 6.3, the formula for the force between two magnetic dipoles due to the induced currents in the superconductor is given by,

F=302m22z4

Equating, the force F = Mg and the height at which the magnet will float is z = h in the expression,

Mg=302m22h42h4=30m22蟺惭驳h=1230m22蟺惭驳14

Hence, the height at which the magnet will float is 1230m22Mg14.

05

Step 5(c): Determine the value of K

Similarly, referring to the prob 6.3, the formula for the magnetic field due to the magnetic dipole is given by,

Bdip(r)=041r3[3(mr^)r^-m]

For two dipoles of magnitude m and -m , the magnetic field is,

B=041(r1)3[3(mz^r^1)r^1-mz^+3(-mz^r^2)r^2+mz^]B=30m4(r1)3[(z^r^1)r^1-(z^r^2)r^2]

From the diagram, z^r^1=-z^r^2=cos,

B=30m4(r1)3[肠辞蝉胃r^1+肠辞蝉胃r^2]B=-30m4(r1)3cos(r^1+r^2)

Also putting, r^1+r^2=2sinr^in the expression,

B=-30m4(r1)3cos(2sinr^)B=-30m2(r1)3sincosr^

Using right angled triangle formula,蝉颈苍胃=rr1,肠辞蝉胃=hr1,r1=r2+h2,

Putting the values and solving,

B=-30mrh2(r1)5r^B=-30mrh2r2+h25r^B=-30mrh2(r2+h2)52r^

It is given that, B=0(Kz^),

Cross multiplying both sides by z^,

z^B=0z^Kz^z^B=0K-z^Kz^

Here, Kz^=0because the surface current is in the xy plane.

z^B=0K-0z^B=0KK=10z^B

Putting the value of ,

K=10z^-30mrh2(r2+h2)52r^K=-3mh2r(r2+h2)52z^r^K=-3mh2r(r2+h2)52^

Hence, the value of K is -3mh2r(r2+h2)52^.

A square loop of wire, of side a, lies midway between two long wires,3aapart, and in the same plane. (Actually, the long wires are sides of a large rectangular loop, but the short ends are so far away that they can be neglected.) A clockwise current Iin the square loop is gradually increasing: role="math" localid="1658127306545" dldt=k(a constant). Find the emf induced in the big loop. Which way will the induced current flow?

In a perfect conductor, the conductivity is infinite, so E=0(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 (Bt=0), 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 (Tc), 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 B0z^while cooling it below Tc. Find the induced surface current density K, as a function of the polar angle.

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.

A circular wire loop (radius r , resistance R ) encloses a region of uniform magnetic field, B , perpendicular to its plane. The field (occupying the shaded region in Fig. 7.56) increases linearly with time(B=t)An ideal voltmeter (infinite internal resistance) is connected between points P and Q.

(b) What does the voltmeter read? Answer:[r2/2]

(a) Two metal objects are embedded in weakly conducting material of conductivity (Fig. 7 .6). Show that the resistance between them is related to the capacitance of the arrangement by

R=0C

(b) Suppose you connected a battery between 1 and 2, and charged them up to a potential differenceV0. If you then disconnect the battery, the charge will gradually leak off. Show thatV(t)=V0e-t/r, and find the time constant,, in terms of 0and .
