Two long, straight copper pipes, each of radius a, are held a distance 2d apart (see Fig. 7.50). One is at potential V0, the other at -V0. The space surrounding the pipes is filled with weakly conducting material of conductivity . Find the current per unit length that flows from one pipe to the other. [Hint: Refer to Prob. 3.12.]
Find the self-inductance per unit length of a long solenoid, of radius R , carrying n turns per unit length.
(a) Show that Maxwell's equations with magnetic charge (Eq. 7.44) are invariant under the duality transformation
Where and is an arbitrary rotation angle in 鈥淓/B-space.鈥 Charge and current densities transform in the same way as and . [This means, in particular, that if you know the fields produced by a configuration of electric charge, you can immediately (using ) write down the fields produced by the corresponding arrangement of magnetic charge.]
(b) Show that the force law (Prob. 7.38)
is also invariant under the duality transformation.
The magnetic field outside a long straight wire carrying a steady current I is
The electric field inside the wire is uniform:
,
Where is 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) ; (ii)
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 on the wire.
[Answer: This is a peculiar result, since Es and are not independent of localid="1658816847863" one would certainly expect for a truly infinite wire.]
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:
