Find the magnetic field at point Pon the axis of a tightly woundsolenoid(helical coil) consisting of nturns per unit length wrapped around a cylindrical tube of radius aand carrying current I(Fig. 5.25). Express your answer in terms of and (it's easiest that way). Consider the turns to be essentially circular, and use the result of Ex. 5.6. What is the field on the axis of an infinitesolenoid (infinite in both directions)?

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

A current Iflows down a wire of radius a.
(a) If it is uniformly distributed over the surface, what is the surface current density K?
(b) If it is distributed in such a way that the volume current density is inversely
proportional to the distance from the axis, what is J(s)?
(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 and such that (i) ; (ii) ; and (iii) . Here's one way to do it: Pick , and solve (ii) and (iii) for and . 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 to obtain
(b) By direct differentiation, check that the you obtained in part (a) satisfies . 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 . Calculate , and confirm that . (For further discussion, see Prob. 5.53.)
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.
