[FREE SOLUTION] | 91影视

The magnetic field outside a long straight wire carrying a steady current I is

B=02Is^

The electric field inside the wire is uniform:

E=Ia2z^,

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) V(a,z)=Iza2 ; (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 (z)on the wire.

[Answer: V=(-Iz/a2) This is a peculiar result, since Es and (z)are not independent of localid="1658816847863" zas one would certainly expect for a truly infinite wire.]

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The value of the f(s) is V(s,z)=-Iza2InsbInab.

(b) The value of E=Ia2Inabzss^+Insbz^.

(c) The value of surface charge density on the wire is (z)=0Iza3Inab.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

Considerthe magnetic field outside a long straight wire carrying a steady current I.

Suppose the current returns along a perfectly conducting grounded coaxial cylinder of radius b.

02

Determine the formula of f(s), E(s,z) and surface charge density on the wire.

Write the formula of f(s).

V(s,z)=(-Iza2) 鈥︹ (1)

Here, I is current, is surface charge density , z is axis and a is radius.

Write the formula of E (s,z).

E(s,z)=-V 鈥︹ (2)

Here, V is potential.

Write the formula ofsurface charge density on the wire.

role="math" localid="1658818871800" (z)=0[Esa+-Esa-] 鈥︹ (3)

Here, 0 is relative permittivity, Es is electric field, a+ radius inside the cylinder and a- is radius outside the cylinder.

03

(a) Determine the (s).

The electric field within a long, straight wire carrying a constant current I is E=Ia2z^uniform, while the electric field outside the wire is of size B=0I2s^.

Given that a < s < b the potential V (s,z) satisfies equation with boundary conditions.

V(a,z)=-Iza2 鈥︹ (2)

Using second boundary condition.

V (b,z) = 0 鈥︹ (3)

Figure 1

In cylindrical co-ordinates

2V=1sssVs+1s22V2+2Vz2

Here, V = fz

Then 2V2=22(fz)=0

Then localid="1658823510111" 2V2=1sss(fz)s+2(fz)s=zsssfs

Equation in2V=0zsssfs=0sfs=A(constant)Asds=dfIntegratebothsides

Solve further as

f=AInss0

Here, s0 is another constant.

By boundary condition (3)

f (b) = 0

Then Inbs0=0

Then s0 = b

Then V(s,z)=AZInsb

By boundary condition (2) we get

Determine the (s).

V(a,z)=-Iza2AzInab=-Iza2A=-Iza21Inab

Then V(s,z)=z-Ia21InabInsb

Then localid="1658824284124" V(s,z)=-Iza2InsbInab.

Therefore, the value of the f(s) is V(s,z)=-Iza2InsbInab.

04

(b) Determine the value of E.

Determine the electric field.

E=-V

In cylindrical co-ordinates

Substitute Vss^+1sV^+Vzz^for Vinto equation (2).

V=0

Then V=Vss^+Vzz^

Then, solve for the electric field as:

E=-V=-Vss^-Vzz^=-s-1za2InsbInabs^-s-1za2InsbInabz^=-1za2s1Inabs^+1a2InsbInabz^

Solve further as

E=Ia2Inabzss^+Insbz^

Therefore, the value of role="math" localid="1658825058927" E=Ia2Inabzss^+Insbz^.

05

(c) Determine the value of surface charge density on the wire.

Determine thesurface charge density on the wire.

Substitute Ia2Inabzafor Es(a+)and 0 for Es(a-)into equation (3).

(z)=01a2Inabza-0(z)=01a2Inab

Therefore, the value of surface charge density on the wire is (z)=01a2Inab.

Prove Alfven's theorem: In a perfectly conducting fluid (say, a gas of free electrons), the magnetic flux through any closed loop moving with the fluid is constant in time. (The magnetic field lines are, as it were, "frozen" into the fluid.)

(a) Use Ohm's law, in the form of Eq. 7.2, together with Faraday's law, to prove that if =and is J finite, then

Bt=(vB)

(b) Let S be the surface bounded by the loop (P)at time t , and S'a surface bounded by the loop in its new position (P')at time t+dt (see Fig. 7.58). The change in flux is

诲桅=S'B(t+dt)da-SB(t)da

Use B=0to show that

S'B(t+dt)da+RB(t+dt)da=SB(t+dt)da

(Where R is the "ribbon" joining P and P' ), and hence that

诲桅=dtSBtda-RB(t+dt)da

(For infinitesimal dt ). Use the method of Sect. 7.1.3 to rewrite the second integral as

dtP(Bv)dI

And invoke Stokes' theorem to conclude that

诲桅dt=S(Bt-vB)da

Together with the result in (a), this proves the theorem.

A capacitorC is charged up to a voltage V and connected to an inductor L, as shown schematically in Fig. 7.39. At time t=0, the switch S is closed. Find the current in the circuit as a function of time. How does your answer change if a resistor R is included in series with C andL ?

An alternating current I(t)=I0cos(t) (amplitude 0.5 A, frequency ) flows down a straight wire, which runs along the axis of a toroidal coil with rectangular cross section (inner radius 1cm , outer radius 2 cm , height 1 cm, 1000 turns). The coil is connected to a 500 resistor.

(a) In the quasistatic approximation, what emf is induced in the toroid? Find the current, IR(t), in the resistor.

(b) Calculate the back emf in the coil, due to the current IR(t) . What is the ratio of the amplitudes of this back emf and the "direct" emf in (a)?

Refer to Prob. 7.11 (and use the result of Prob. 5.42): How long does is take a falling circular ring (radius a, mass m, resistance R) to cross the bottom of the magnetic field B, at its (changing) terminal velocity?

Find the energy stored in a section of length lof a long solenoid (radiusR, currentI, n turns per unit length),

(a) using Eq. 7.30 (you found L in Prob. 7.24);

(b) using Eq. 7.31 (we worked out A in Ex. 5.12);

(c) using Eq. 7.35;

(d) using Eq. 7.34 (take as your volume the cylindrical tube from radius a<R out to radiusb>R).
