The magnetic field on the axis of a circular current loop (Eq. 5.41) is far from uniform (it falls off sharply with increasing z). You can produce a more nearly uniform field by using two such loops a distanced apart (Fig. 5.59).

(a) Find the field (B) as a function of z, and show that Bzis zero at the point midway between them (z=0)

(b) If you pick d just right, the second derivative ofBwill also vanish at the midpoint. This arrangement is known as a Helmholtz coil; it's a convenient way of producing relatively uniform fields in the laboratory. Determine dsuch that

2B/z2=0at the midpoint, and find the resulting magnetic field at the center.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The magnetic field as a function ofzis

0IR221R2+d2+z23/2+1R2+d2-z23/2and first derivative of this magnetic field is zero at the midway between both loops.

(b) The distance between loops for zero second derivative at midpoint is equal to radius of loop and the resulting magnetic field at the centre is80I55R

Step by step solution

01

Determine the magnetic field as a function of z

Consider the figure for the field as:

The magnetic field due to the upper loop by using equation 5.41is given as:

B1=0221R2+d2+z23/2

The magnetic field due to the lower loop by using equation 5.41is given as:

B2=0IR221R2+d2-z23/2

The net magnetic field due to both loops is given as:

B=B1+B2

B=0IR221R2+d2+z23/2+0IR221R2+d2-z23/2

B=0IR221R2+d2+z23/2+1R2+d2-z23/2

02

Determine the location for zero magnetic field on z axis

Differentiate the above expression of magnetic field to find the location for zero magnetic field on zaxis.

Bz=z0IR221R2+d2+z23/2+1R2+d2-z23/2

Bz=0IR22(-3/2)(2)d2+zR2+d2+z25/2+(-3/2)(2)d2-z(-1)R2+d2-z25/2

Bz=30IR22-d2+zR2+d2+z25/2+d2-zR2+d2-z25/2

Substitute z-0in the above expression.

Bz=30IR22-d2+0R2+d2+025/2+d2-0R2+d2-025/2Bz=30IR22-d2R2+d425/2+d2R2+d425/2Bz=0

Therefore, the magnetic field as a function of zis

0IR221R2+d2+z23/2+1R2+d2-z23/2

and first derivative of this magnetic field is zero on the zaxis.

03

Determine the distance between the loops for second derivative zero at midpoint

Differentiate the equation (2) with respect to z.

2Bz2=zBz

2Bz2=z30IR22-d2+zR2+d2+z25/2+d2-zR2+d2-z25/2


2Bz2=30/R22-1R2+d2+z25/2+-d2+z(-5/2)(2)d2+zR2+d2+z27/2+-1R2+d2-z25/2+d2-z(-5/2)(2)d2-z(-1)R2+d2-z27/2

Substitute z=0and 2Bz2=0in the above expression.

0=30/R22-1R2+d2+025/2+-d2+0(-5/2)(2)d2+0R2+d2+027/2+-1R2+d2-025/2+d2-0(-5/2)(2)d2-0(-1)R2+d2-027/2

0=30/R2R2+d227/2d2-R2

0=30/R2R2+d227/2d2-R2

d=R

Therefore, the second derivative is zero at midpoint if both loops are placed at distance equal to the radius of loop.

Substitute d=Rand z=0in equation (1) to find resulting magnetic field.

0=30IR22-1R2+d2+025/2+-d2+0-5/22d2+0R2+d2+027/2+-1R2+d2-025/2+d2-0-5/22d2-0-1R2+d2-027/20=30IR2R2+d227/2d2-R20=30IR2R2+d227/2d2-R2d=R

Therefore, the resulting magnetic field at the midpoint is80l55R.

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?

Consider a planeloop of wire that carries a steady current I;we

want to calculate the magnetic field at a point in the plane. We might as well take

that point to be the origin (it could be inside or outside the loop). The shape of the

wire is given, in polar coordinates, by a specified function r()(Fig. 5.62).

(a) Show that the magnitude of the field is

role="math" localid="1658927560350" B=0I4(5.92)

(b) Test this formula by calculating the field at the center of a circular loop.

(c) The "lituus spiral" is defined by a

r()=a鈥夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌0<2

(for some constant a).Sketch this figure, and complete the loop with a straight

segment along the xaxis. What is the magnetic field at the origin?

(d) For a conic section with focus at the origin,

r()=p1+别肠辞蝉胃

where pisthe semi-latus rectum (the y intercept) and eis the eccentricity (e= 0

for a circle, 0 < e< 1 for an ellipse, e= 1 for a parabola). Show that the field is

B=0I2pregardless of the eccentricity.

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 12, where is Planck's constant. What, then, is the electron's magnetic dipole moment, in Am2? [This semi classical value is actually off by a factor of almost exactly 2. Dirac's relativistic electron theory got the 2 right, 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 (e /2m), where eis the charge of the electron and mis its mass, is called the Bohr magneton.]

Question: Use Eq. 5.41 to obtain the magnetic field on the axis of the rotating disk in Prob. 5.37(a). Show that the dipole field (Eq. 5.88), with the dipole moment you found in Prob. 5.37, is a good approximation if z>> R.
