(a) A phonograph record carries a uniform density of "static electricity" .If it rotates at angular velocity ,what is the surface current density Kat a distance r from the center?
(b) A uniformly charged solid sphere, of radius Rand total charge Q,is centered
at the origin and spinning at a constant angular velocity about the zaxis. Find
the current density J at any point within the sphere.
Suppose you have two infinite straight line charges, a distance d apart, moving along at a constant speed (Fig. 5.26). How great would have tobe in order for the magnetic attraction to balance the electrical repulsion? Work out the actual number. Is this a reasonable sort of speed?

Find the exact magnetic field a distance above the center of a square loop of side , carrying a current. Verify that it reduces to the field of a dipole, with the appropriate dipole moment, when.
Prove Eq. 5.78, using Eqs. 5.63, 5.76, and 5.77. [Suggestion: I'd set up Cartesian coordinates at the surface, with Z perpendicular to the surface and X parallel to the current.]
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?
