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.]

In a perfect conductor, the conductivity is infinite, so E=0(Eq. 7.3), and any net charge resides on the surface (just as it does for an imperfect conductor, in electrostatics).

(a) Show that the magnetic field is constant (∂B∂t=0), inside a perfect conductor.

(b) Show that the magnetic flux through a perfectly conducting loop is constant.

A superconductor is a perfect conductor with the additional property that the (constant) B inside is in fact zero. (This "flux exclusion" is known as the Meissner effect.)

(c) Show that the current in a superconductor is confined to the surface.

(d) Superconductivity is lost above a certain critical temperature (Tc), which varies from one material to another. Suppose you had a sphere (radius ) above its critical temperature, and you held it in a uniform magnetic field B0z^while cooling it below Tc. Find the induced surface current density K, as a function of the polar angleθ.

Work out the force law for a monopole moving with velocity through electric and magnetic fields E and B.

A square loop is cut out of a thick sheet of aluminum. It is then placed so that the top portion is in a uniform magnetic field , B and is allowed to fall under gravity (Fig. 7 .20). (In the diagram, shading indicates the field region; points into the page.) If the magnetic field is 1 T (a pretty standard laboratory field), find the terminal velocity of the loop (in m/s ). Find the velocity of the loop as a function of time. How long does it take (in seconds) to reach, say, 90% of the terminal velocity? What would happen if you cut a tiny slit in the ring, breaking the circuit? [Note: The dimensions of the loop cancel out; determine the actual numbers, in the units indicated.]
