Find the force of attraction between two magnetic dipoles, and , oriented as shown in Fig. 6.7, a distance r apart, (a) using Eq. 6.2, and (b) using Eq.6.3.
An infinitely long circular cylinder carries a uniform magnetization parallel to its axis. Find the magnetic field (due to) inside and outside the cylinder.
Suppose the field inside a large piece of magnetic material is B0, so that , 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.

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.]
A current flows down a long straight wire of radius. If the wire is made of linear material (copper, say, or aluminium) with susceptibility , and the current is distributed uniformly, what is the magnetic field a distance from the axis? Find all the bound currents. What is the net bound current flowing down the wire?
In Sect, 6.2.1, we began with the potential of a perfect dipole (Eq. 6.10), whereas in fact we are dealing with physical dipoles. Show, by the method of Sect. 4.2.3, that we nonetheless get the correct macroscopic field.
