Question: A fat wire, radius a, carries a constant current I , uniformly distributed over its cross section. A narrow gap in the wire, of width w << a, forms a parallel-plate capacitor, as shown in Fig. 7.45. Find the magnetic field in the gap, at a distance s < a from the axis.

Short Answer

Answer

The magnetic field in the gap is B=μ0Is2πa2.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

The radius of the wire is a .

The constant current is the wire is I.

The gap between the wire is w<<a.

02

  Step 2: Determine the formulas to calculate the magnetic field in the gap. 

The expression for the current density is given as follows.

J=IA

Here, A is the area of the wire.

03

Calculate the magnetic field in the gap.  

Consider the figure of the wire with the gap.

Calculate the current density.

Substituteπa2 for A into equation (1).

Jd=IÏ€a2z^

The expression for the magnetic field from the Ampere’s law is given by,

∮B·dl=μ0IdencB2πs=μ0IdencB=μ0Idenc2πs

Substitute Jdπs2 for Idencinto above equation.

B=μ0Jdπs22πsB=μ0Jds2

SubstituteIÏ€a2forJd into above equation.

B=μ0Iπa2s2B=μ0Is2πa2

Hence the magnetic field in the gap isB=μ0Is2πa2.

Question:Calculate the energy stored in the toroidal coil of Ex. 7.11, by applying Eq. 7.35. Use the answer to check Eq. 7.28.

Suppose

E(r,t)=14πε0qr2θ(r−υt)r^; B(r,t)=0

(The theta function is defined in Prob. 1.46b). Show that these fields satisfy all of Maxwell's equations, and determine ÒÏ and J. Describe the physical situation that gives rise to these fields.

A long solenoid, of radius a, is driven by an alternating current, so that the field inside is sinusoidal:Bt=B0cosÓ¬tz^. A circular loop of wire, of radius a/2 and resistance R , is placed inside the solenoid, and coaxial with it. Find the current induced in the loop, as a function of time.

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

ε2ε1=N2N1(7.67)

whereε1is 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.]

Question: A rare case in which the electrostatic field E for a circuit can actually be calculated is the following: Imagine an infinitely long cylindrical sheet, of uniform resistivity and radius a . A slot (corresponding to the battery) is maintained at ±V02atϕ=±π, and a steady current flows over the surface, as indicated in Fig. 7.51. According to Ohm's law, then,

V(a,ϕ)=V0ϕ2π,(-π<ϕ<+π)

Figure 7.51

(a) Use separation of variables in cylindrical coordinates to determine V(s,Ï•) inside and outside the cylinder.

(b) Find the surface charge density on the cylinder.
