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(θ)(Fig. 5.62).

(a) Show that the magnitude of the field is

role="math" localid="1658927560350" B=μ0I4π∮(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(θ)=aθ â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰0<θ≤2Ï€

(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(θ)=p1+±ð³¦´Ç²õθ

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=μ0I2pregardless of the eccentricity.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The magnitude of the magnetic field of a closed plane loop carrying current I is B=μ0I4π∮dθr.

(b) If the loop is a circle, the field at its center isμ0I2R.

(c) If the loop has formrole="math" localid="1658927823158" r(θ)=aθ , the magnitude of the field isμ0I2π3a. The sketch for the loop is obtained.

(d) If the loop has form r(θ)=p1+ecosθ, the magnitude of the field is μ0I2p.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

(a) There is a closed loop carrying currentI.

(c) The loop has trajectory r(θ)=aθ â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰0<θ≤2Ï€.

(d) The loop has trajectoryr(θ)=p1+±ð³¦´Ç²õθ.

02

Determine magnetic field of a current carrying wire

The magnetic field of a current carrying wireIis:

B→=μ0I4π∫dl→×r^r2 …… (1)

Here, μ0 is the permeability of free space and dl→ is an infinitesimal length element on the wire.

03

Determine magnetic field of a closed plane current carrying loop

(a)

For the given configuration,

|dl→×r^|=°ù»åθ

Thus, from equation (1) write as:

B=μ0I4π∮dθr …… (2)

04

Determine the magnetic field at the center of a current carrying circular loop

(b)

For a circular loop,r=R. Here,Ris the radius of the loop.

Thus, from equation (2),

B=μ0I4πR∮dθ=μ0I2R

This agrees with the field at the center of a current carrying loop.

05

Determine the magnetic field for a loop defined by   r(θ)=aθ

(c)

The sketch of r(θ)=aθ â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰0<θ≤2Ï€ is given in the following figure.

Thus, from equation (2) is as follows:

B=μ0I4Ï€²¹âˆ®Î¸»åθ=μ0I4Ï€²¹âˆ«02πθ»åθ=μ0I4Ï€²¹23[θ3/2]02Ï€=μ0I2Ï€3a

Thus, the field is μ0I2π3a.

06

Determine the magnetic field of a conic section

(d)

The field forr(θ)=p1+±ð³¦´Ç²õθis obtained from equation (2) as:

B=μ0I4π∮1+±ð³¦´Ç²õθp»åθ=μ0I4Ï€±è∫02Ï€(1+±ð³¦´Ç²õθ)»åθ=μ0I4Ï€±è[θ−±ð²õ¾±²Ôθ]02Ï€=μ0I2p

Thus, the field is obtained as: μ0I2p.

Most popular questions from this chapter

(a) A phonograph record carries a uniform density of "static electricity" σ.If it rotates at angular velocity Ӭ,what is the surface current density Kat a distance r from the center?

(b) A uniformly charged solid sphere, of radius Rand total charge Q,is centered

at the origin and spinning at a constant angular velocity Ó¬about the zaxis. Find

the current density J at any point r,θ,ϕwithin the sphere.

A circularly symmetrical magnetic field ( B depends only on the distance from the axis), pointing perpendicular to the page, occupies the shaded region in Fig. 5.58. If the total flux (∫B.da) is zero, show that a charged particle that starts out at the center will emerge from the field region on a radial path (provided it escapes at all). On the reverse trajectory, a particle fired at the center from outside will hit its target (if it has sufficient energy), though it may follow a weird route getting there. [Hint: Calculate the total angular momentum acquired by the particle, using the Lorentz force law.]

In 1897, J. J. Thomson "discovered" the electron by measuring the

charge-to-mass ratio of "cathode rays" (actually, streams of electrons, with charge qand mass m)as follows:

(a) First he passed the beam through uniform crossed electric and magnetic fields E→and B→(mutually perpendicular, and both of them perpendicular to the beam), and adjusted the electric field until he got zero deflection. What, then, was the speed of the particles in terms of E→and B→)?

(b) Then he turned off the electric field, and measured the radius of curvature, R,

of the beam, as deflected by the magnetic field alone. In terms of E, B,and R,

what is the charge-to-mass ratio (qlm)of the particles?

Suppose that the magnetic field in some region has the form

B→=kzxÁåœ

(where kis a constant). Find the force on a square loop (side a),lying in the yz

plane and centered at the origin, if it carries a current I,flowing counterclockwise,

when you look down the xaxis.

Find the vector potential above and below the plane surface current in Ex. 5.8.
