Suppose you have two infinite straight line chargesλ, a distance d apart, moving along at a constant speed υ(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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required speed isυ=3×108m/s and it is not reasonable two wires cannot attain that speed.

Step by step solution

01

Define function

Write the expression for the magnitude of force between two parallel straight current carrying conductors.

F=μ0i1i22πd …… (1)

Here,i1 and i2are currents through the parallel conductors,d is the distance between the two parallel conductors and μ0is the permeability.

Write the expression for the electric filed at distance of due to infinite straight conducting wire.

E=λ2πε0d ……. (2)

Here,λ is the linear charge density and ε0is the permittivity.

02

Determine speed

A line charge moving with speed constitute current that is,

i1=i2=λυ

Now, let’s consider that, one of the wires, then write the expression for the attractive magnetic force on his wire per unit length.

F=μ0i1i22πd

Substitute λυfor i1also λυfor i2.

F=μ0λυλυ2πd=μ0λ2υ22πd

Write the expression for electrostatic repulsion per unit length.

FC=λ22πε0d

The line charges have to balance the magnetic attraction and electrical repulsion.

FC=F …… (3)

Substitute λ22πε0dfor FCandμ0λ2υ22πdfor F in equation (3),

λ22πε0d=μ0λ2υ22πdυ=1μ0ε0

Substitute 4π×10-7H/Mforμ0and 8.85×10-12C2/N·m2for ε0in above equation.

υ=1μ0ε0υ=14π×10-7H/M8.85×10-12C2/N.m2υ=3×108m/s

Thus, the required speed is υ=3×108m/sand it is not reasonable two wires cannot attain that speed.

The magnetic field on the axis of a circular current loop (Eq. 5.41) is far from uniform (it falls off sharply with increasing z). You can produce a more nearly uniform field by using two such loops a distanced apart (Fig. 5.59).

(a) Find the field (B) as a function of z, and show that ∂B∂z is zero at the point midway between them (z = 0)

(b) If you pick d just right, the second derivative of B will also vanish at the midpoint. This arrangement is known as a Helmholtz coil; it's a convenient way of producing relatively uniform fields in the laboratory. Determine d such that ∂2B/∂z2=0 at the midpoint, and find the resulting magnetic field at the center. [Answer:8μ0I55R ]

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?

Use Eq. 5.41to 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 ifz>>R.

Question: (a) Find the magnetic field at the center of a square loop, which carries a steady current I.Let Rbe the distance from center to side (Fig. 5.22).

(b) Find the field at the center of a regular n-sided polygon, carrying a steady current

I.Again, let Rbe the distance from the center to any side.

(c) Check that your formula reduces to the field at the center of a circular loop, in

the limit n→∞.

(a) one way to fill in the "missing link" in Fig. 5.48 is to exploit the analogy between the defining equations for A(viz∇-A=0,∇×A=B)and Maxwell's equations forB(viz∇.B=0∇×B=μ0J).Evidently A depends on B in exactly the same way that B depends onμ0J(to wit: the Biot-Savart law). Use this observation to write down the formula for A in terms of B.

(b) The electrical analog to your result in (a) is

localid="1658557463395" V(r)=-14π∫E(r')-r^r2dτ'

Derive it, by exploiting the appropriate analogy.
