[FREE SOLUTION] | 91Ó°ÊÓ

91Ó°ÊÓ

An infinite wire runs along the z axis; it carries a current I (z) that is a function ofz(but not of t ), and a charge density λ(t) that is a function of t (but not of z ).

(a) By examining the charge flowing into a segment dz in a time dt, show that dλ/dt=-di/dz. If we stipulate that λ(0)=0and I(0)=0, show that λ(t)=kt, I(z)=-kz, where k is a constant.

(b) Assume for a moment that the process is quasistatic, so the fields are given by Eqs. 2.9 and 5.38. Show that these are in fact the exact fields, by confirming that all four of Maxwell's equations are satisfied. (First do it in differential form, for the region s > 0, then in integral form for the appropriate Gaussian cylinder/Amperian loop straddling the axis.)

(b) The maxwell’s equations of differential and integral from are satisfied.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

The current in the wire is I(z).

The charge density is λ(t).

02

Determine the formulas to show the equation and Maxwell’s equation.

The expression to calculate the electric field at point is given as follows.

E=λ2πε0s

Here, λ is the linear charge density, s is the distance from the wire.

The maxwell’s equation is given as follows.

∇×E=1s∂∂s(sE)

03

Show the equation dλ/dt=-dl/dz .

(a)

The current passing through the element dz in time dt is given by,

dl = I (dz)

Calculate the current passing through the entire length,

∫dl=∫I(dz)I=∫z+dzzI(dz)I=I(z)z+dzz I=I(z)-I(z+dz)

The rate of flow of the charge with respect to time, is known as current.

I=dpdt

Substitute I (z) - I (z+dz) for I into above equation.

I(z)-I(z+dz)=dpdtI(z)-dpdtdz-I(z)=dpdt-dpdtdz=dpdt..........(1)

The charge density in the elemental length dz is given by,

λ=qdzq=λdz

Substitute λdz for q into equation (1).

role="math" localid="1658831987320" -dldzdz=d(λdz)dt-dldzdz=dλdtdz-dldz=dλdtdλdt=-dldz

Hence the equation dλdt=-dldzis obtained.

The equation dλdt=-dldzis one dimensional equation.

dλdt=k,-dldz=k

Here, k is the constant.

When λ(0)=0

dλdt=kdλ=kdt+D ……. (2)

Since λ(0)=0

0=k(0)+DD=0

Substitute 0 for D into equation (2).

dλ=kt+0dλ=kt

Integrate the above equation,

∫dλ=∫kdtλ(t)=kt

When I(0) = 0

dldt=-kdl=-kdt+F ……. (3)

Since I(0) = 0

0 = -k(0) +F

F = 0

Substitute 0 for F into equation (3).

dl=-kdt+0dl=-kdt

Integrate the above equation.

role="math" localid="1658834851860" ∫dl=-k∫dtI(t)=-kz

Hence the expression for charge density and current when λ(0)=0,andI(0)=0areλ(t)=ktandI(t)=-kzrespectively.

04

Satisfy the maxwell’s equations of differential and integral from are satisfied.

(b)

The electric field at point z due to infinite wire is given by,

E=q2πε0sl

Here, l is the length of the wire.

Substitute λfor q/I into above equation.

role="math" localid="1658834657083" E=λ2πε0s

The Maxwell’s equation is given by,

role="math" localid="1658834699724" ∇·E=1s∂∂s(sE)

Substitute λ2πε0sfor E into above equation.

∇·E=1s∂∂ssλ2πε0s∇·E=1s∂∂sλ2πε0∇·E=0

The curl of the electric field is always a zero.

The integral of the electric field is given by,

∫E·ds=E∫ds∫E·ds=E(2πsl)

Substitute E=q2πε0rl for E into above equation.

∫E·ds=q2πε0sl(2Ï€²õ±ô)∫E·ds=qε0

Hence the differential and integral Maxwell’s equation is satisfied for the Gaussian cylinder.

The divergence of the magnetic field is always zero.

∇·B=0

The magnetic field is varying along the ϕdirection.

Bϕ=-μ0Cz2πs

The curl of magnetic field for the cylindrical coordinates is given by,

∇×B=1s∂Bz∂ϕ-∂Bϕ∂zs^+∂Bs∂z-∂Bϕ∂sϕ^+1s∂∂ϕ(sBϕ)-∂Bs∂ϕz^

Substitute -μ0Cz2πsfor Bϕinto above equation.

∇×B=1s∂Bz∂ϕ-∂∂z-μ0Cz2πss^+∂Bs∂z-∂Bz∂sϕ^+1s∂∂ϕs-μ0Cz2πs-∂Bs∂ϕz^∇×B=∂∂z-μ0Cz2πss^-1s∂∂s-μ0Cz2πsz^∇×B=μ0Cz2πss^∇×B=μ0ε0∂E∂t

The electric field for the Amperian loop is given by,

∫E·dl=-ddt∫B·ds

According to Ampere’s law the magnetic field around the cylinder is given by,

∫B·dl=B∫dl∫B·dl=B(2Ï€¸é)∫B·dl=2Ï€¸éB

Substitute μ0Cz2πR for B into above equation.

∫B·dl=2Ï€¸é-μ0Cz2Ï€¸é∫B·dl=μ0lendosed+0

If the electric field is perpendicular zero then value of zero is μ0ε0∫∂E∂t·ds=0.

∫B·dl=μ0lendosed+μ0ε0∫∂E∂t·ds

Hence the differential and integral Maxwell’s equation is satisfied for the Amperian cylinder.

Hence the maxwell’s equations of differential and integral from are satisfied.

The current in a long solenoid is increasing linearly with time, so the flux is proportional t:.ϕ=αtTwo voltmeters are connected to diametrically opposite points (A and B), together with resistors ( R1and R2), as shown in Fig. 7.55. What is the reading on each voltmeter? Assume that these are ideal voltmeters that draw negligible current (they have huge internal resistance), and that a voltmeter register --∫abE×dlbetween the terminals and through the meter. [Answer: V1=αR1/(R1+R2). Notice that V1≠V2, even though they are connected to the same points]

A long solenoid with radius a and n turns per unit length carries a time-dependent currentl(t) in theϕ^ direction. Find the electric field (magnitude and direction) at a distance s from the axis (both inside and outside the solenoid), in the quasistatic approximation.

Question: Suppose j(r)is constant in time but ÒÏ(r,t)is not-conditions that

might prevail, for instance, during the charging of a capacitor.

(a) Show that the charge density at any particular point is a linear function of time:

ÒÏ(r,t)=ÒÏ(r,0)+ÒÏ(r,0)t

whereÒÏ(r,0)is the time derivative of at . [Hint: Use the continuity equation.]

This is not an electrostatic or magnetostatic configuration: nevertheless, rather surprisingly, both Coulomb's law (Eq. 2.8) and the Biot-Savart law (Eq. 5.42) hold, as you can confirm by showing that they satisfy Maxwell's equations. In particular:

(b) Show that

B(r)=μ04π∫J(r')×r^r2dτ'

An infinite cylinder of radius R carries a uniform surface charge σ. We propose to set it spinning about its axis, at a final angular velocity Ӭ. How much work will this take, per unit length? Do it two ways, and compare your answers:

(a) Find the magnetic field and the induced electric field (in the quasistatic approximation), inside and outside the cylinder, in terms of Ó¬,Ó¬,ands(the distance from the axis). Calculate the torque you must exert, and from that obtain the work done per unit length(W=∫±·»åÏ•).

(b) Use Eq. 7.35 to determine the energy stored in the resulting magnetic field.

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).
