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.

(a)The image dipole points towards the downward -z plane.

(b) The height at which the magnet will float is1230m22Mg14 .

(c) The value K of is -3mh2r(r2+h2)52^.

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^.

Two coils are wrapped around a cylindrical form in such a way that the same flux passes through every turn of both coils. (In practice this is achieved by inserting an iron core through the cylinder; this has the effect of concentrating the flux.) The primary coil hasN1turns and the secondary hasN2(Fig. 7.57). If the current in the primary is changing, show that the emf in the secondary is given by

21=N2N1(7.67)

where1is the (back) emf of the primary. [This is a primitive transformer-a device for raising or lowering the emf of an alternating current source. By choosing the appropriate number of turns, any desired secondary emf can be obtained. If you think this violates the conservation of energy, study Prob. 7.58.]

A transformer (Prob. 7.57) takes an input AC voltage of amplitude V1, and delivers an output voltage of amplitude V2, which is determined by the turns ratio (V2V1=N2N1). If N2>N1, the output voltage is greater than the input voltage. Why doesn't this violate conservation of energy? Answer: Power is the product of voltage and current; if the voltage goes up, the current must come down. The purpose of this problem is to see exactly how this works out, in a simplified model.

(a) In an ideal transformer, the same flux passes through all turns of the primary and of the secondary. Show that in this case M2=L1L2, where Mis the mutual inductance of the coils, and L1,L2, are their individual self-inductances.

(b) Suppose the primary is driven with AC voltage Vin=V1cos(t), and the secondary is connected to a resistor, R. Show that the two currents satisfy the relations

L1=dl1dt+Mdl2dt=V1cos(t);L1=dl2dt+Mdl1dt=-I2R.

(c) Using the result in (a), solve these equations for localid="1658292112247" l1(t)and l2(t). (Assume l2has no DC component.)

(d) Show that the output voltage (Vout=l2R)divided by the input voltage (Vin)is equal to the turns ratio: VoutVin=N2N1.

(e) Calculate the input power localid="1658292395855" (Pin=Vinl1)and the output power (Pout=Voutl2), and show that their averages over a full cycle are equal.

An alternating current l=l0cos(wt)flows down a long straight wire, and returns along a coaxial conducting tube of radius a.

(a) In what direction does the induced electric field point (radial, circumferential, or longitudinal)?

(b) Assuming that the field goes to zero as s, findE=(s,t).

An infinite number of different surfaces can be fit to a given boundary line, and yet, in defining the magnetic flux through a loop, =B.da da, I never specified the particular surface to be used. Justify this apparent oversight.

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.]
