A circular loop of wire, with radius , R lies in the xy plane (centered at the origin) and carries a current running counterclockwise as viewed from the positive z axis.

(a) What is its magnetic dipole moment?

(b) What is the (approximate) magnetic field at points far from the origin?

(c) Show that, for points on the z axis, your answer is consistent with the exact field (Ex. 5.6), when z>>R.

Short Answer

(a) The magnetic dipole moment isIÏ€R2z^ .

(b) The magnetic field at points far from the origin is role="math" localid="1657525196478" μ0±õÏ€¸é24Ï€°ù3[2cosθ°ù^+sinθθ^].

(c) The answer is consistent with the exact field.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data is listed below as:

  • The radius of the loop of wire is,R
  • The current in the wire is, I
02

Significance of the magnetic field

Themagnetic field is described as the region inside a magnetic material that is beneficial for an object to exert force on another object. The exerted force is the magnetism force exerted.

03

(a) Determination of the magnetic dipole moment

The equation of the magnetic dipole moment is expressed as:

m=AI …(¾±)

Here, A is the enclosed area and I is the current in the wire.

The equation of the enclosed area is expressed as:

A=Ï€R2z^

Here, R is the radius of the loop of wire and z^is the position vector in the z direction.

Substituterole="math" localid="1657524876988" πR2z^ for A in the equation (i).

m=IÏ€R2z^

Thus, the magnetic dipole moment is role="math" localid="1657524833782" IÏ€R2z^.

04

(b) Determination of the magnetic field at points far from the origin

The magnetic field far from the origin is described as the magnetic field of a point dipole. Hence, the equation of the magnetic field is expressed as:

B≈μ0m4Ï€°ù3[2cosθr^+sinθθ^]

Here, μ0is the permeability, m is the magnetic dipole moment of the wire, r is the radius of the wire, andθ is the angle subtended by the wire.

Substitute±õÏ€¸é2z^ for in the above equation.

role="math" localid="1657525736604" B≈μ0±õÏ€¸é24Ï€°ù3[2cosθr^+sinθθ^] …(¾±¾±)

Thus, the magnetic field at points far from the origin isμ0±õÏ€¸é24Ï€°ù3[2cosθr^+sinθθ^] .

05

(c) Determination of the answer with the exact field

The equation of the exact magnetic field along the z axis is expressed as:

B(z)≈μ0I2R2(R2+z2)32

Here,R is the radius of the loop of the wire and z is the point along the z axis.

When ,z>>R the above equation reduces to:

Bz≈μ0I2R2z3z^

As the point lies along the z axis, then substitute 0 forθ ,z for r and z^for r^in the equation (ii).

B≈μ0±õÏ€¸é24Ï€z3[2cosθr^+sinθθ^]≈μ0±õÏ€¸é24Ï€z32z^≈μ0IR22z3z^

Thus, the answer is consistent with the exact field.

A plane wire loop of irregular shape is situated so that part of it is in a uniform magnetic field B (in Fig. 5.57 the field occupies the shaded region, and points perpendicular to the plane of the loop). The loop carries a current I. Show that the net magnetic force on the loop isF=±õµþÓ¬, whereÓ¬is the chord subtended. Generalize this result to the case where the magnetic field region itself has an irregular shape. What is the direction of the force?

What current density would produce the vector potential, A=kϕ^(where kis a constant), in cylindrical coordinates?

Suppose that the magnetic field in some region has the form

B→=kzxÁåœ

(where kis a constant). Find the force on a square loop (side a),lying in the yz

plane and centered at the origin, if it carries a current I,flowing counterclockwise,

when you look down the xaxis.

Two long coaxial solenoids each carry current I , but in opposite directions, as shown in Fig. 5.42. The inner solenoid (radius a) has turns per unit length, and the outer one (radius b) has .n2Find B in each of the three regions: (i) inside the inner solenoid, (ii) between them, and (iii) outside both.

Consider a planeloop of wire that carries a steady current I;we

want to calculate the magnetic field at a point in the plane. We might as well take

that point to be the origin (it could be inside or outside the loop). The shape of the

wire is given, in polar coordinates, by a specified function r(θ)(Fig. 5.62).

(a) Show that the magnitude of the field is

role="math" localid="1658927560350" B=μ0I4π∮(5.92)

(b) Test this formula by calculating the field at the center of a circular loop.

(c) The "lituus spiral" is defined by a

r(θ)=aθ â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰0<θ≤2Ï€

(for some constant a).Sketch this figure, and complete the loop with a straight

segment along the xaxis. What is the magnetic field at the origin?

(d) For a conic section with focus at the origin,

r(θ)=p1+±ð³¦´Ç²õθ

where pisthe semi-latus rectum (the y intercept) and eis the eccentricity (e= 0

for a circle, 0 < e< 1 for an ellipse, e= 1 for a parabola). Show that the field is

B=μ0I2pregardless of the eccentricity.
