A uniformly charged solid sphere of radius R carries a total charge Q, and is set spinning with angular velocity w about the z axis.
(a) What is the magnetic dipole moment of the sphere?
(b) Find the average magnetic field within the sphere (see Prob. 5.59).
(c) Find the approximate vector potential at a point (r, B) where r>> R.
(d) Find the exact potential at a point (r, B) outside the sphere, and check that it is consistent with (c). [Hint: refer to Ex. 5.11.]
(e) Find the magnetic field at a point (r, B) inside the sphere (Prob. 5.30), and check that it is consistent with (b).
A current Iflows down a wire of radius a.
(a) If it is uniformly distributed over the surface, what is the surface current density K?
(b) If it is distributed in such a way that the volume current density is inversely
proportional to the distance from the axis, what is J(s)?
If B is uniform,show that works. That is, check that and. Is this result unique, or are there other functions with the same divergence and curl?
Question: Use Eq. 5.41 to obtain the magnetic field on the axis of the rotating disk in Prob. 5.37(a). Show that the dipole field (Eq. 5.88), with the dipole moment you found in Prob. 5.37, is a good approximation if z>> R.
(a) Complete the proof of Theorem 2, Sect. 1.6.2. That is, show that any divergenceless vector field F can be written as the curl of a vector potential . What you have to do is find and such that (i) ; (ii) ; and (iii) . Here's one way to do it: Pick , and solve (ii) and (iii) for and . Note that the "constants of integration" are themselves functions of y and z -they're constant only with respect to x. Now plug these expressions into (i), and use the fact that to obtain
(b) By direct differentiation, check that the you obtained in part (a) satisfies . Is divergenceless? [This was a very asymmetrical construction, and it would be surprising if it were-although we know that there exists a vector whose curl is F and whose divergence is zero.]
(c) As an example, let . Calculate , and confirm that . (For further discussion, see Prob. 5.53.)
