Question: (a) Find the force on a square loop placed as shown in Fig. 5.24(a), near an infinite straight wire. Both the loop and the wire carry a steady current I.

(b) Find the force on the triangular loop in Fig. 5.24(b).

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The force on a square of side a carrying current l at a distance s from an infinite straight wire carrying current l is 0l2a22sa+s.

(b) The force on a triangle of side a carrying current l at a distance s from an infinite straight wire carrying current l is 0l22as-23In1+3a2s.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

(a) A square of side a carrying current l at a distance s from an infinite straight wire carrying current l .

(b) A triangle of side a carrying current l at a distance s from an infinite straight wire carrying current l .

02

Magnetic field from an infinite wire and force on a current carrying wire in the presence of a magnetic field

Magnetic field at a distance s from an infinite straight wire carrying current l is

B=0l2蟿蟿蝉.....(1)

Here, 0is the permeability of free space.

Force on a wire of length l carrying current l in a magnetic field B is

F=IBI......(2)

03

Force on the square loop

In the first figure, the force on the left and right hand sides of the square should be exactly equal and opposite. So they cancel out.

From equation (1), magnetic field near the bottom side from the infinite wire is

B=0l2s

The field is directed outward.

Thus, from equation (2), force on the bottom wire is

F=l0l2sa=0l2a2s

The force is directed upward.

From equation (1), magnetic field near the top side from the infinite wire is

B=0l2a+s

The field is directed outward.

Thus, from equation (2), force on the top wire is

F=l0l2a+sa=0l2a2a+s

The force is directed downward.

The net force on the square is then

F=0l2a2s-0l2a2a+s=0l2a2s1s-1a+s=0l2a22sa+s

Thus, the net force on the square loop is 0l2a22sa+sdirected downward.

04

Force on the triangular loop

The force on the lower side of the triangle is just like before.

F=0l2a2s

The force is directed upward.

The forces on the other two sides will each have two components, a vertical and a horizontal. The horizontal components will cancel out. The vertical components will add and point downward.

From equation (1), the field at a distance y from the infinite wire is

B=0l2y

From equation (2), the force on a small section of the wire with horizontal component dx with y=3xis

dF=0l2dx23x

This is the vertical component of the force on the small section. The net force on one ire is thus

F=0l223s3s3+a2dxx=0l223Ins3+a2-Ins3=0l223In1+3a2s

The net downward vertical force from the two sides is thus

F=20l223In1+3a2s=0l23In1+3a2s

The net force on the triangle is then

F=0l2a2s-0l23In1+3a2s=0l22as-23In1+3a2s

Thus, the net force on the triangle is 0l22as-23In1+3a2spointed upward.

Find the vector potential above and below the plane surface current in Ex. 5.8.

Is Ampere's law consistent with the general rule (Eq. 1.46) that divergence-of-curl is always zero? Show that Ampere's law cannot be valid, in general, outside magnetostatics. Is there any such "defect" in the other three Maxwell equations?

A thin uniform donut, carrying charge Qand mass M, rotates about its axis as shown in Fig. 5.64.

(a) Find the ratio of its magnetic dipole moment to its angular momentum. This is called the gyromagnetic ratio (or magnetomechanical ratio).

(b) What is the gyromagnetic ratio for a uniform spinning sphere? [This requires no new calculation; simply decompose the sphere into infinitesimal rings, and apply the result of part (a).]

(c) According to quantum mechanics, the angular momentum of a spinning

electron is 12, where is Planck's constant. What, then, is the electron's magnetic dipole moment, in Am2? [This semi classical value is actually off by a factor of almost exactly 2. Dirac's relativistic electron theory got the 2 right, and Feynman, Schwinger, and Tomonaga later calculated tiny further corrections. The determination of the electron's magnetic dipole moment remains the finest achievement of quantum electrodynamics, and exhibits perhaps the most stunningly precise agreement between theory and experiment in all of physics.

Incidentally, the quantity (e /2m), where eis the charge of the electron and mis its mass, is called the Bohr magneton.]

In 1897, J. J. Thomson "discovered" the electron by measuring the

charge-to-mass ratio of "cathode rays" (actually, streams of electrons, with charge qand mass m)as follows:

(a) First he passed the beam through uniform crossed electric and magnetic fields Eand B(mutually perpendicular, and both of them perpendicular to the beam), and adjusted the electric field until he got zero deflection. What, then, was the speed of the particles in terms of Eand B)?

(b) Then he turned off the electric field, and measured the radius of curvature, R,

of the beam, as deflected by the magnetic field alone. In terms of E, B,and R,

what is the charge-to-mass ratio (qlm)of the particles?

Use the result of Ex. 5.6 to calculate the magnetic field at the centerof a uniformly charged spherical shell, of radius Rand total charge Q,spinning atconstant angular velocity .
