(b) The average magnetic field within sphere is also\frac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi}\left(\frac{2Q\omega}{5R}\right).

(c) The vector potential at a point is

μ04πQӬR2sinθ5r2.

Step by step solution

01

Determine the gyromagnetic ratio(a)

The surface charge density of shell is given as:

ÒÏ=Q43R3

Here, Qis the charge on the shell and Ris the radius of the shell.

The magnetic dipole moment of sphere is given as:

\begin{aligned}dm&=\frac{4}{3}\pi\rho\omegar^{4}dr\\m&=\frac{4}{3}\pi\rho\omega\int_{0}^{R}r^{4}dr\\m&=\frac{4}{3}\pi\rho\omega\left(\frac{R^{5}}{5}\right)\end{aligned}

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

m=43Ï€QÏ€4R3Ó¬R55

m=15QÓ¬R2

Therefore, the magnetic dipole moment of sphere is15QÓ¬R2

02

Determine the average magnetic field within the sphere

(b)

Consider the formula for the magnetic field of the sphere.

Ba=μ04π2mR3

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}&B_{a}=\frac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi}\left(\frac{2\left(\frac{1}{5}Q\omegaR^{2}\right)}{R^{3}}\right)\\&B_{a}=\frac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi}\left(\frac{2Q\omega}{5R}\right)\end{aligned}

Therefore, the average magnetic field within sphere is also\frac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi}\left(\frac{2Q\omega}{5R}\right).

03

Determine the vector potential at a point

(c)

Consider the formula for the vector potential due to dipole moment:

A=μ04πmsinθr2

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}&A=\frac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi}\left(\frac{\left(\frac{1}{5}Q\omegaR^{2}\right)\sin\theta}{r^{2}}\right)\\&A=\frac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi}\left(\frac{Q\omegaR^{2}\sin\theta}{5r^{2}}\right)\end{aligned}

Therefore, the vector potential at a point isμ04πQӬR2sinθ5r2

04

Determine the exact potential outside sphere(d)

Differentiate the expression for potential due to the spherical shell:

\begin{aligned}&dA_{e}=\left(\frac{\mu_{0}\rho\omega\sin\theta}{r^{2}}\right)\left(\bar{r}^{4}dr\right)\\&A_{e}=\left(\frac{\mu_{0}\rho\omega\sin\theta}{r^{2}}\right)\left(\int_{0}^{R}\bar{r}^{4}dr\right)\\&A_{e}=\left(\frac{\mu_{0}\rho\omega\sin\theta}{r^{2}}\right)\left(\frac{R^{5}}{5}\right)\end{aligned}

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

Aθ=μ0Q43πR3Ӭsinθr2R55

Ae=μ0QӬR2sinθ20πr2

Therefore, the exact potential outside sphere is\frac{\mu_{0}Q\omegaR^{2}\sin\theta}{20\pir^{2}}.

05

Determine the average magnetic field inside the sphere

(e)

Consider the expression for field due to uniformly charged sphere:

\begin{aligned}&B_{ai}=B_{a}\\&B_{ai}=\frac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi}\left(\frac{2Q\omega}{5R}\right)\\&B_{ai}=\frac{\mu_{0}Q\omega}{10\piR}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the average magnetic field inside the sphere is\frac{\mu_{0}Q\omega}{10\piR}.

Prove the following uniqueness theorem: If the current density J isspecified throughout a volume V ,and eitherthe potential A orthe magnetic field B is specified on the surface Sbounding V,then the magnetic field itself is uniquely determined throughout V.[Hint:First use the divergence theorem to show that

∫[(∇⇶Ä×U⇶Ä).(∇⇶Ä×V⇶Ä)-U.(∇⇶Ä×∇⇶Ä×∇⇶Ä)]dr=∮(U⇶Ä×∇⇶Ä×V⇶Ä)da⇶Ä

Find the magnetic field at point Pon the axis of a tightly woundsolenoid(helical coil) consisting of nturns per unit length wrapped around a cylindrical tube of radius aand carrying current I(Fig. 5.25). Express your answer in terms of θ1and θ2 (it's easiest that way). Consider the turns to be essentially circular, and use the result of Ex. 5.6. What is the field on the axis of an infinitesolenoid (infinite in both directions)?

Show that the magnetic field of a dipole can be written in coordinate-free form:

Bdip(r)=μ04π1r3[3(m⋅r^)r^-m]

A circularly symmetrical magnetic field ( B depends only on the distance from the axis), pointing perpendicular to the page, occupies the shaded region in Fig. 5.58. If the total flux (∫B.da) is zero, show that a charged particle that starts out at the center will emerge from the field region on a radial path (provided it escapes at all). On the reverse trajectory, a particle fired at the center from outside will hit its target (if it has sufficient energy), though it may follow a weird route getting there. [Hint: Calculate the total angular momentum acquired by the particle, using the Lorentz force law.]

Find the exact magnetic field a distancez above the center of a square loop of side w, carrying a current. Verify that it reduces to the field of a dipole, with the appropriate dipole moment, whenz≫w.
