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.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The magnetic field at point which is inside the inner solenoidBA=μ0n2-n1I .
  2. The magnetic field at point in between the outer and the inner solenoidBB=μ0n2-n1I.
  3. The magnetic field at point which is outside of the inner and outer solenoid is zero.

Step by step solution

01

Define function

Write the expression for the magnetic field due to current carrying Solenoid.

B=μ0nlfor points inside the solenoid

=0for points outside the solenoid

Now, consider the three points A, B and C in the system of solenoid as shown in figure.

The point A is inside outer and inner solenoid.

The point B is outside of in between of outer and inner solenoid.

The point C is outside of outer solenoid.

02

Given data

Let’s consider that, radius of inner solenoid is a, n1is the number of turns per unit length in the inner solenoid, n2 number of turns per unit length in the inner solenoid and b is the radius of the outer solenoid.

03

Determine magnetic field at point A,B and C

Write the expression for the magnetic field at point A due to outer solenoid.

B1=μ0n2I

Write the expression for the magnetic field at point A due to inner solenoid.

B1=-μ0n2I

Here, the negative sign indicates, the magnetic field due to inner solenoid in opposite direction to the direction of magnetic field due to outer solenoid.

Write the expression for total magnetic field at point A.

BA=μ0n2-n1I

Thus, the magnetic field at point which is inside the inner solenoid .BA=μ0n2-n1I

The magnetic field due to the inner solenoid is zero. As point B is outside of inner solenoid.

Write the expression for the magnetic field at point B due to outer solenoid.

B=μ0n2I

Write the expression for total magnetic field at point B.

BB=μ0n2-n1I

Thus, the magnetic field at point in between the outer and the inner solenoid .

BB=μ0n2-n1I

The magnetic field due to the inner solenoid is zero. As point C is outside the both solenoid.

Thus, the magnetic field at point which is outside ofthe inner and outer solenoid is zero.

Question: (a) Find the density ÒÏof mobile charges in a piece of copper, assuming each atom contributes one free electron. [Look up the necessary physical constants.]

(b) Calculate the average electron velocity in a copper wire 1 mm in diameter, carrying a current of 1 A. [Note:This is literally a snail'space. How, then, can you carry on a long distance telephone conversation?]

(c) What is the force of attraction between two such wires, 1 em apart?

(d) If you could somehow remove the stationary positive charges, what would the electrical repulsion force be? How many times greater than the magnetic force is it?

(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.

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.

Show that the magnetic field of an infinite solenoid runs parallel to the axis, regardless of the cross-sectional shape of the coil,as long as that shape is constant along the length of the solenoid. What is the magnitude of the field, inside and outside of such a coil? Show that the toroid field (Eq. 5.60) reduces to the solenoid field, when the radius of the donut is so large that a segment can be considered essentially straight.

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→∞.
