A short circular cylinder of radius and length L carries a "frozen-in" uniform magnetization M parallel to its axis. Find the bound current, and sketch the magnetic field of the cylinder. (Make three sketches: one forL>>a, one forL<<a, and one forL≈a.) Compare this bar magnet with the bar electret of Prob. 4.11.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of bound current is K→b=Mϕ^.

Draw the magnetic field of the cylinder for L>>a.

Draw the magnetic field of the cylinder for L<<a.

Draw the magnetic field of the cylinder for L≈a.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

Consider a short circular cylinder of radius and length carries a "frozen-in" uniform magnetization parallel to its axis.

02

Determine the formula of bound current.

Write the formula of bound current.

K→b=M→×s→..........(1)

Here, M→is frozen-in uniform magnetization ands→ is distance from axis.

03

Determine the value of bound current and draw the magnetic field of the cylinder for L>>a, for L<<a and for L≈a.

Draw the circuit diagram of magnetic field of the cylinder for L>>a.

Figure 1

Draw the circuit diagram of magnetic field of the cylinder for L<<a.

Figure 2

Draw the circuit diagram of magnetic field of the cylinder for L≈a.

Figure 3

Determine the bound current is given by:

Substitute ϕ^for s→into equation (1).

k→b=Mϕ^

Thus, the field is made up of a solenoid with the following dimensions: L, a, and for the surface current.

The lines of the magnetic field are drawn above. They resemble the bar electret case in appearance, but inside they are entirely different since the magnetic field does not have discontinuities at the top or bottom like the electric field does.

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).




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.]

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.

Starting from the Lorentz force law, in the form of Eq. 5.16, show that the torque on any steady current distribution (not just a square loop) in a uniform field B is m×B.

lf Jf=0 everywhere, the curl of H vanishes (Eq. 6.19), and we can express H as the gradient of a scalar potential W:

H=−∇W

According to Eq. 6.23, then,

∇2W=(∇⋅M)

So Wobeys Poisson's equation, with ∇⋅M as the "source." This opens up all the machinery of Chapter 3. As an example, find the field inside a uniformly magnetized sphere (Ex. 6.1) by separation of variables.
