Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

The mass of the metal bar is m .

The distance between the two rails is I.

The resistance across the rails is R.

02

Determine the equation to calculate the current through the resistor and its direction, the magnetic force and its direction, speed of the bar after time t and kinetic energy of the bar.

The equation to calculate the (According to Faraday鈥檚 law) magnetic flux is given as follows.

03

Calculate the current in the resistor and its direction. 

(a)

Consider the diagram that shows the slide of the bar on the frictionless parallel rails.

Let assume the bar moves along the x-axis and field along the negative y-axis.

The magnetic field is given by,

B=-By^

The area vector with area of the loop as ,

da=day

Calculate the magnetic flux

Substitute-By^for B and day for into equation (1).

=By^.day=Bda

=BA

Calculate the induced emf.

Substitute -BA for into equation (2).

=-ddt-BA=-BdAdt

Substitute Ix for A into above equation.

=-BddtIx=-BIdxdt

Substitute v fordxdt into above equation.

=-BIv

Calculate the current in the resistor.

Substitute B/v for into equation (3).

i=BIvR

Hence the current in the resistor is BIvRand direction of the current is counter clockwise.

04

Calculate the magnetic force on the bar and its direction.

(b)

Calculate the magnetic force on the bar.

Substitute BIvRfor i into equation (4).

F=BIvRIBF=B2I2vR

Hence the magnitude of the magnetic force isB2I2vRand its direction is negative x-axis

05

Calculate the speed of the bar after time t.  

(c)

Now the slide of the bar is lift side, therefore the magnetic force after time ,

F=-B2I2vR 鈥︹ (6)

According to the second law of newtons, the force on the bar,

F=mdvdt 鈥︹ (7)

Now equate the equation (6) and (7),

mdvdt=-B2I2vRdvv=B2I2Rmdt

Integrate the above equation.

(a) Show that Maxwell's equations with magnetic charge (Eq. 7.44) are invariant under the duality transformation

E'=Ecos+cBsin,cB'=cBcos-Esin,cq'e=cqecos+qmsin,q'm=qmcos-cqesin,

Where c1/00and is an arbitrary rotation angle in 鈥淓/B-space.鈥 Charge and current densities transform in the same way as qeand qm. [This means, in particular, that if you know the fields produced by a configuration of electric charge, you can immediately (using =90) write down the fields produced by the corresponding arrangement of magnetic charge.]

(b) Show that the force law (Prob. 7.38)

F=qe(E+VB)+qm(B-1c2VE)

is also invariant under the duality transformation.

Question; An atomic electron (charge q ) circles about the nucleus (charge Q) in an orbit of radius r ; the centripetal acceleration is provided, of course, by the Coulomb attraction of opposite charges. Now a small magnetic field dB is slowly turned on, perpendicular to the plane of the orbit. Show that the increase in kinetic energy, dT , imparted by the induced electric field, is just right to sustain circular motion at the same radius r. (That's why, in my discussion of diamagnetism, I assumed the radius is fixed. See Sect. 6.1.3 and the references cited there.)

Suppose the circuit in Fig. 7.41 has been connected for a long time when suddenly, at time t=0, switch S is thrown from A to B, bypassing the battery.

Notice the similarity to Eq. 7.28-in a sense, the rectangular toroid is a short coaxial cable, turned on its side.

(a) What is the current at any subsequent time t?

(b) What is the total energy delivered to the resistor?

(c) Show that this is equal to the energy originally stored in the inductor.

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.

Question: An infinite wire carrying a constant current in the direction is moving in the direction at a constant speed . Find the electric field, in the quasistatic approximation, at the instant the wire coincides with the axis (Fig. 7.54).
