03

(a) Determine the value of the energy stored in the inductor of self-inductance L.

Determine the magnetic field for the solenoid is given by

B=μ0ni …… (5)

Here, μ0 is permeability of the free space, nis the number of turns of the solenoid per unit length, and i is the current passing through the solenoid.

The number of turns in length l of the solenoid is

N=nl

Therefore, the number of turns of the solenoid per unit length is

n=Nl

Substitute n=Nlinto equation (5).

B=μ0Nil

Determine the self-inductance Lof the coil of turn N is

L=NΦsi

Here, the magnetic flux is

Φs=BA

Then,

L=NBAi

Substitute μ0Nilfor B into above equation.

L=NAiμ0Nil=μ0N2Al

Substitute πR2 is the area of the solenoid (A)and N=nlin the above equation and simplify.

L=μ0(nl)2(πR2)l=μ0n2l(πR2)

Determine theenergy stored in the inductor of self-inductanceL .

Substituteμ0n2l(πR2) for L into equation (1).

W=12μ0n2πR2lI2

Therefore, the value of the energy stored in the inductor is W=12μ0n2πR2LI2.

Now determine the energy stored in the inductor for vector potential at the surface of the solenoid.

Substitute μ0nl2Rϕ^ for A into equation (2).

W=12μ0nI2Rϕ^⋅Iϕ^∮(dI)=12μ0nI2RI(2πR)

Then for nl turns,

Substitute μ0nI for B and πR2I for dτ into equation (3).

W=12μ0(μ0nI)2πR2I=12μ0n2πR2lI2

dτ=π(R2−a2)l

Determine the magnetic field inside the solenoid.

B=μ0nl

Then,

∫B2dτ−μ02n2I2π(R−a2)I

At a point inside(S=a), the vector potential is

A=μ0nl2aϕ^

While the magnetic field is,

B=μ0nIz^

Then,

role="math" localid="1657796736019" A×B=12μ02n2I2a(ϕ^×z^)=12μ02n2I2a(s^)

The areal vector is,

da=adϕdz(−s^)

At a point outside (S=b)

A×B=0

Then

role="math" localid="1657796826011" ∮(A×B)⋅da=∫12μ02n2I2a(adϕdz)=−12μ02n2I2a22πI

Determine the energy stored in the inductor for volume of the surface.

Substitute μ02n2I2π(R2−a2)l forB2dτ and role="math" localid="1657796916109" −12μ02n2I2a22πl for ∮(A×B)⋅da into equation (4).

W=12μ0μ02n2I2π(R2−a2)l−12μ02n2l2a22πl=12μ0n2πR2lI2

Therefore, the value of the energy stored in the inductor is W=12μ0n2πR2LI2.

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.)

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).

Find the self-inductance per unit length of a long solenoid, of radius R , carrying n turns per unit length.

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.]

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.]
