Imagine two charged magnetic dipoles (charge q, dipole moment m), constrained to move on the z axis (same as Problem 6.23(a), but without gravity). Electrically they repel, but magnetically (if both m's point in the z direction) they attract.

(a) Find the equilibrium separation distance.

(b) What is the equilibrium separation for two electrons in this orientation. [Answer: 4.72x10-13m.]

(c) Does there exist, then, a stable bound state of two electrons?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The equilibrium separation distance is 6mqc.

(b) The equilibrium separation distance is 4.73×10-13m.

(c) There is no exist stable bound state for two electrons.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

The charge is q.

The dipole moment is m.

Two charges move on the z axis.

02

Calculate the equilibrium separate distance.

(a)

The magnetic field due one charge is given by,

B1=μ0m4Ï€³ú3z^

Here z is the distance.

The magnetic field due another charge is given by,

B2=μ0m4Ï€³ú3z^

The total magnetic field due to both the charge is given by,

B=B1+B2

Substitute μ0m4Ï€³ú3z^ for B1 and B2 into above equation.

B=μ0m4Ï€³ú3z^+μ0m4Ï€³ú3z^B=2μ0m4Ï€³ú3z^B=μ0m4Ï€³ú3z^

The force on the dipole is given by,

F=∇(m·B)

Substitute μ0m2Ï€³ú3z^ for B into above equation.

F=∇m·μ0m2Ï€³ú3z^F=∂∂zm·μ0m2Ï€³ú3z^F=3m2μ02Ï€³ú4z^

The expression for the Coulomb’s for between the 2 electrons is given by,

role="math" localid="1657716216750" Fe=q24πε0z2z^

The net force on the charge is given by,

F + Fe= 0

substitute q24πε0z2z^ for Fe and role="math" localid="1657716398268" -3m2μ02Ï€³ú4z^ for F inti above equation.

-3m2μ02Ï€³ú4z^+q24πε0z2z^=0q24πε0z2z^=-3m2μ02Ï€³ú4z^q22ε0=-3m2μ0z2z2=-3m2ε0μ0q2

Solve further as,

z2=6m2q21ε0μ0z=6m2q21ε0μ0z=6mq1ε0μ0

Substitute c for 1μ0ε0into above equation.

role="math" localid="1657716909912" z=6mqc

Hence the equilibrium separation distance is 6mqc.

03

Calculate the equilibrium separation distance.

(b)

The charge on electron,q=1.6×10-19C

The speed of the light,c=3×108m/s

The dipole moment,m=9.28×10-24J/T

The separation equilibrium distance,

z=6mqc

Substitute 1.6×10-19C for q, 3×108m/s for c and 9.28×10-24J/Tfor m into above equation.

role="math" localid="1657717399234" z=6×9.28×10-241.6×10-19×3×108z=22.731×10-244.8×10-11z=4.73×10-13m

Hence the equilibrium separation distance is 4.73×10-13m.

04

Determine the existence of the bound state for electron.

(c)

Since the equilibrium point is unstable, therefore, the existence of the stable bound for two electrons does not exist.

Hence there is no existing stable bound state for two electrons.

Notice the following parallel:

{∇·D=0∇×E=0,ε0E=D-P(Nofreecharge)∇·B=0∇×H=0,μ0H=B-μ0M(Nofreecharge)

Thus, the transcription D→B,E→H,P→μ0M,ε0→μ0,, turns an electrostatic problem into an analogous magnetostatic one. Use this, together with your knowledge of the electrostatic results, to rederive.

(a) the magnetic field inside a uniformly magnetized sphere (Eq. 6.16);

(b) the magnetic field inside a sphere of linear magnetic material in an otherwise uniform magnetic field (Prob. 6.18);

(c) the average magnetic field over a sphere, due to steady currents within the sphere (Eq. 5.93).


In Prob. 6.4, you calculated the force on a dipole by "brute force." Here's a more elegant approach. First writeB(r)as a Taylor expansion about the center of the loop:

,B(r)≅B(r0)+[(r−r0)⋅∇0]B(r0)

Wherer0the position of the dipole and ∇0is denotes differentiation with respect tor0. Put this into the Lorentz force law (Eq. 5.16) to obtain

.F=I∮dI×[(r⋅∇0)B(r0)]

Or, numbering the Cartesian coordinates from 1 to 3:

Fi=I∑j,k,l=13εijk{∮rldlj}[∇0lBk(r0)],

Where εijk is the Levi-Civita symbol (+1ifijk=123,231, or312; −1ifijk=132, 213, or 321;0otherwise), in terms of which the cross-product can be written (A×B)i=∑j,k=13εijkAjBk. Use Eq. 1.108 to evaluate the integral. Note that

∑j=13εijkεljm=δilδkm−δimδkl

Whereoil is the Kronecker delta (Prob. 3.52).




Compare Eqs. 2.15, 4.9, and 6.11. Notice that if ÒÏ,P , and Mare uniform, the same integral is involved in all three:

∫r^r2dτ'

Therefore, if you happen to know the electric field of a uniformly charged object, you can immediately write down the scalar potential of a uniformly polarized object, and the vector potential of a uniformly magnetized object, of the same shape. Use this observation to obtain Vinside and outside a uniformly polarized sphere (Ex. 4.2), andA inside and outside a uniformly magnetized sphere (Ex. 6.1).

Suppose the field inside a large piece of magnetic material is B0, so that H0=(1/μ0)B0-M, where M is a "frozen-in" magnetization.

(a) Now a small spherical cavity is hollowed out of the material (Fig. 6.21). Find the field at the center of the cavity, in terms of B0 and M. Also find H at the center of the cavity, in terms of H0 and M.

(b) Do the same for a long needle-shaped cavity running parallel to M.

(c) Do the same for a thin wafer-shaped cavity perpendicular to M.

Figure 6.21

Assume the cavities are small enough so M, B0, and H0 are essentially constant. Compare Prob. 4.16. [Hint: Carving out a cavity is the same as superimposing an object of the same shape but opposite magnetization.]

Question: Of the following materials, which would you expect to be paramagnetic and which diamagnetic: aluminum, copper, copper chloride (Cucl2), carbon, lead, nitrogen (N2), salt (Nacl ), sodium, sulfur, water? (Actually, copper is slightly diamagnetic; otherwise, they're all what you'd expect.)
