Suppose the conductivity of the material separating the cylinders in Ex. 7.2 is not uniform; specifically, σ(s)=k/s, for some constant . Find the resistance between the cylinders. [Hint: Because a is a function of position, Eq. 7.5 does not hold, the charge density is not zero in the resistive medium, and E does not go like 1/s. But we do know that for steady currents is the same across each cylindrical surface. Take it from there.]

Question: A capacitor C has been charged up to potential V0at time t=0, it is connected to a resistor R, and begins to discharge (Fig. 7.5a).

(a) Determine the charge on the capacitor as a function of time,Q(t)What is the current through the resistor,l(t)?

(b) What was the original energy stored in the capacitor (Eq. 2.55)? By integrating Eq. 7.7, confirm that the heat delivered to the resistor is equal to the energy lost by the capacitor.

Now imagine charging up the capacitor, by connecting it (and the resistor) to a battery of voltage localid="1657603967769" V0, at time t = 0 (Fig. 7.5b).

(c) Again, determine localid="1657603955495" Q(t)and l(t).

(d) Find the total energy output of the battery (∫Vldt). Determine the heat delivered to the resistor. What is the final energy stored in the capacitor? What fraction of the work done by the battery shows up as energy in the capacitor? [Notice that the answer is independent of R!]

A square loop of wire, of side a, lies midway between two long wires,3aapart, and in the same plane. (Actually, the long wires are sides of a large rectangular loop, but the short ends are so far away that they can be neglected.) A clockwise current Iin the square loop is gradually increasing: role="math" localid="1658127306545" dldt=k(a constant). Find the emf induced in the big loop. Which way will the induced current flow?

A square loop (side a) is mounted on a vertical shaft and rotated at angular velocity Ӭ (Fig. 7.19). A uniform magnetic field B points to the right. Find theεtfor this alternating current generator.

Electrons undergoing cyclotron motion can be sped up by increasing the magnetic field; the accompanying electric field will impart tangential acceleration. This is the principle of the betatron. One would like to keep the radius of the orbit constant during the process. Show that this can be achieved by designing a magnet such that the average field over the area of the orbit is twice the field at the circumference (Fig. 7.53). Assume the electrons start from rest in zero field, and that the apparatus is symmetric about the center of the orbit. (Assume also that the electron velocity remains well below the speed of light, so that nonrelativistic mechanics applies.) [Hint: Differentiate Eq. 5.3 with respect to time, and use .F=ma=qE]

A certain transmission line is constructed from two thin metal "rib-bons," of width w, a very small distanceh≪w apart. The current travels down one strip and back along the other. In each case, it spreads out uniformly over the surface of the ribbon.

(a) Find the capacitance per unit length, C .

(b) Find the inductance per unit length, L .

(c) What is the product LC , numerically?[ L and C will, of course, vary from one kind of transmission line to another, but their product is a universal constantcheck, for example, the cable in Ex. 7.13-provided the space between the conductors is a vacuum. In the theory of transmission lines, this product is related to the speed with which a pulse propagates down the line: v=1/LC.]

(d) If the strips are insulated from one another by a non-conducting material of permittivity εand permeability εand permeability μ, what then is the product LC ? What is the propagation speed? [Hint: see Ex. 4.6; by what factor does L change when an inductor is immersed in linear material of permeabilityμ?]
