Find the magnetic vector potential of a finite segment of straight wire carrying a current .[Put the wire on the zaxis, from to , and use Eq. 5.66.]
Check that your answer is consistent with Eq. 5.37.
Suppose there did exist magnetic monopoles. How would you modifyMaxwell's equations and the force law to accommodate them? If you think thereare several plausible options, list them, and suggest how you might decide experimentally which one is right.
A large parallel-plate capacitor with uniform surface charge on the upper plate and on the lower is moving with a constant speed localid="1657691490484" ,as shown in Fig. 5.43.
(a) Find the magnetic field between the plates and also above and below them.
(b) Find the magnetic force per unit area on the upper plate, including its direction.
(c) At what speed would the magnetic force balance the electrical force?

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 and (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)?

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?
