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.

Short Answer

The correctly modified Maxwell鈥檚 equation isF=04qm1qm2r2r^ .

Step by step solution

01

Determine the Maxwell’s equation

Write the Maxwell鈥檚 equation.

E=0鈥夆赌夆赌夆赌(Gausslaw)E=0B=0

Write the amperes law

B=0J

02

Determine the right Maxwell’s equation 

As the magnetic monopole exists then there will be no change in Ampere鈥檚 law and gauss law.

Actually B=0implies there will be no magnetic monopoles.Then if magnetic monopoles exist, then

B=0m

Herem,is the density of magnetic change and0is the same constant.

Rewrite the Maxwell鈥檚 equation as

E=0Jm

Here, Jmis the magnetic current density and0is another constant.

Thus, magnetic charge is conserved. Hence, mandJmsatisfy continuity equation and is written as

Jm+mt=0

Write the expression for force on magnetic monopole.

F=qm[B+(E)]

Consider both the equation directionally not correct.

Here, Ehas same units asB .

Hence, divide Ewith dimensions of velocity squared and rewrite the equation as

F=qe[E+(B)]+qm[B1c2(E)]

Now, write the expression for magnetic field along the lines ofCoulomb鈥檚 law.

F=04qm1qm2r2r^

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?

Consider the motion of a particle with mass m and electric charge qein the field of a (hypothetical) stationary magnetic monopole qmat the origin:

B=04qmr2r^

(a) Find the acceleration of qe, expressing your answer in terms of localid="1657533955352" q, qm, m, r (the position of the particle), and v(its velocity).

(b) Show that the speed v=|v|is a constant of the motion.

(c) Show that the vector quantity

Q=m(rv)-0qeqm4r^

is a constant of the motion. [Hint: differentiate it with respect to time, and prove-using the equation of motion from (a)-that the derivative is zero.]

(d) Choosing spherical coordinates localid="1657534066650" (r,,), with the polar (z) axis along Q,

(i) calculate , localid="1657533121591" Q^and show that is a constant of the motion (so qemoves on the surface of a cone-something Poincare first discovered in 1896)24;

(ii) calculate Qr^, and show that the magnitude of Qis

Q=04|qeqm肠辞蝉胃|;

(iii) calculate Q^, show that

诲蠒dt=kr2,

and determine the constant k .

(e) By expressing v2in spherical coordinates, obtain the equation for the trajectory, in the form

drd=f(r)

(that is: determine the function )f(r)).

(t) Solve this equation for .r()

(a) Complete the proof of Theorem 2, Sect. 1.6.2. That is, show that any divergenceless vector field F can be written as the curl of a vector potential . What you have to do is find Ax,Ayand Azsuch that (i) Az/y-Ay/z=Fx; (ii) Ax/z-Az/x=Fy; and (iii) Ay/x-Ax/y=Fz. Here's one way to do it: Pick Ax=0, and solve (ii) and (iii) for Ayand Az. Note that the "constants of integration" are themselves functions of y and z -they're constant only with respect to x. Now plug these expressions into (i), and use the fact that F=0to obtain

Ay=0xFz(x',y,z)dx';Az=0yFx(0,y',z)dy'-0yFy(x',y,z)dx'

(b) By direct differentiation, check that the you obtained in part (a) satisfies A=F. Is divergenceless? [This was a very asymmetrical construction, and it would be surprising if it were-although we know that there exists a vector whose curl is F and whose divergence is zero.]

(c) As an example, let F=yx^+zy^+xz^. Calculate , and confirm that A=F. (For further discussion, see Prob. 5.53.)

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

What current density would produce the vector potential, A=k^(where kis a constant), in cylindrical coordinates?
