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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnetic field runs parallel to the axis of solenoid regardless of the shape, as along the shape is constant along the length of the solenoid.

Step by step solution

01

Define function 

According to Biot-Savart鈥檚 law, write the expression of magnetic field at point at distance r.

B=0I4dIrr3 鈥︹ (1)

Here,0 is the permeability for free space,I is the current, ris the distance anddl is the element.

02

Determine figure 

Consider the elements dl1and dl2at points P(x',y',z')and P'(x',y',z')respectively.

The points Pand P'lie symmetrically with respect to x-y plane. Also assume a pointM(0,y,0) located on y-axis.

03

Determine magnetic field

Write the expression for the magnetic field due to the elements.

dB=0I4dI1r1r13+dI2r2r23 鈥︹ (2)

Here,r1andr2are the position vectors of pointPandP'from Mrespectively.

From the above figure,

Write the expression for position vector r1.

r1=rMrP

Substitute yy^for rMand x'x^+y'y^+z'z^for rPin above equation.

r1=rMrP=yy^(x'x^+y'y^+z'z^)=x'x^+(yy')y^z'z^

Write the magnitude of r1.

r1=(x')2+(yy')2+(z')2=x'2+(yy')2+z'2

From the above figure,

Write the expression for position vector r2.

r2=rMrP'

Substituteyy^forrMandx'x^+y'y^z'z^ forrPin above equation.

r2=rMrP'=yy^(x'x^+y'y^z'z^)=x'x^+(yy')y^+z'z^

Write the magnitude of r1.

r2=(x')2+(yy')2+(z')2=x'2+(yy')2+z'2

Thus, the magnitude of r1andr2are equal.

r1=r2=r

Write the expression fordl1anddl2.

dI1=dx'x^+dy'y^dI2=dx'x^+dy'y^

Thus, the two elements are equal.

dI1=dI2=dI

Substitute dlfor dI1,dI2and rforr1 andr2 in equation (2)

dB=0I4dI1r1r13+dI2r2r23=0I4dI(r1+r2)r2 鈥︹ (3)

04

Determine magnetic field

Asdl1and(r1+r2)are in the same x-y plane, dBdI1(r1+r2)is along with z axis which is perpendicular to x-y plane.

Substitute (dx'x^+dy'y^)for dl, x'x^+(yy')y^z'z^for r1, x'x^+(yy')y^+z'z^for r2,

x'2+(yy')2+z'2 for rin equation (3).

dB=0I4dI(r1+r2)r2=0I4(dx'x^+dy'y^)(x'x^+(yy')y^z'z^)+(x'x^+(yy')y^+z'z^)(x'2+(yy')2+z'2)3=0I4(dx'x^+dy'y^)(2x'x^+2(yy'))y^(x'2+(yy')2+z'2)=0I42(yy')dx'+2x'dy'((x')2+(yy')2+(z')2)32z^

From above it is clear that, the filed is running parallel to the axis of solenoid that is along z axis.

Therefore, the magnetic field runs parallel to the axis of solenoid regardless of the shape, as along the shape is constant along the length of the solenoid.

Another way to fill in the "missing link" in Fig. 5.48 is to look for a magnetostatic analog to Eq. 2.21. The obvious candidate would be

A(r)=0r(Bdl)

(a) Test this formula for the simplest possible case-uniform B (use the origin as your reference point). Is the result consistent with Prob. 5.25? You could cure this problem by throwing in a factor of localid="1657688349235" 12, but the flaw in this equation runs deeper.

(b) Show that (Bdl)is not independent of path, by calculating (Bdl)around the rectangular loop shown in Fig. 5.63.

As far as lknow,28the best one can do along these lines is the pair of equations

(i) localid="1657688931461" v(r)=-r01E(r)诲位

(ii) A(r)=-r01位叠(位谤)诲位

[Equation (i) amounts to selecting a radial path for the integral in Eq. 2.21; equation (ii) constitutes a more "symmetrical" solution to Prob. 5.31.]

(c) Use (ii) to find the vector potential for uniform B.

(d) Use (ii) to find the vector potential of an infinite straight wire carrying a steady current. Does (ii) automatically satisfy A=0[Answer:(ol/2蟺蝉)(zs^-sz^) ].

Prove Eq. 5.78, using Eqs. 5.63, 5.76, and 5.77. [Suggestion: I'd set up Cartesian coordinates at the surface, with Z perpendicular to the surface and X parallel to the current.]

(a) A phonograph record of radius R, carrying a uniform surface charge , is rotating at constant angular velocity . Find its magnetic dipole moment.

(b) Find the magnetic dipole moment of the spinning spherical shell in Ex. 5.11. Show that for pointsr>R the potential is that of a perfect dipole.

Is Ampere's law consistent with the general rule (Eq. 1.46) that divergence-of-curl is always zero? Show that Ampere's law cannot be valid, in general, outside magnetostatics. Is there any such "defect" in the other three Maxwell equations?

Find the exact magnetic field a distancez above the center of a square loop of side w, carrying a current. Verify that it reduces to the field of a dipole, with the appropriate dipole moment, whenzw.
