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.

Most popular questions from this chapter

thick slab extending from z=-ato z=+a(and infinite in the x andy directions) carries a uniform volume current J=Jx^(Fig. 5.41). Find the magnetic field, as a function of z, both inside and outside the slab.

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?

A thin uniform donut, carrying charge Qand mass M, rotates about its axis as shown in Fig. 5.64.

(a) Find the ratio of its magnetic dipole moment to its angular momentum. This is called the gyromagnetic ratio (or magnetomechanical ratio).

(b) What is the gyromagnetic ratio for a uniform spinning sphere? [This requires no new calculation; simply decompose the sphere into infinitesimal rings, and apply the result of part (a).]

(c) According to quantum mechanics, the angular momentum of a spinning electron is role="math" localid="1658120028604" 12, where is Planck's constant. What, then, is the electron's magnetic dipole moment, in role="math" localid="1658120037359" A×M2 ? [This semi classical value is actually off by a factor of almost exactly 2. Dirac's relativistic electron theory got the 2right, and Feynman, Schwinger, and Tomonaga later calculated tiny further corrections. The determination of the electron's magnetic dipole moment remains the finest achievement of quantum electrodynamics, and exhibits perhaps the most stunningly precise agreement between theory and experiment in all of physics. Incidentally, the quantity (e2m ), where e is the charge of the electron and m is its mass, is called the Bohr magneton.]

Question: Find the magnetic field at point Pfor each of the steady current configurations shown in Fig. 5.23.

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.
