Step by step solution

01

Given data

There is a thin glass rod of radius R, length Lcarrying a uniform surface charge δ and spinning about its axis at an angular velocity Ӭ.

02

Magnetic field due to a dipole

The magnetic field from a dipole m→ is

B→=μ04Ï€mr3(2³¦´Ç²õθr^+²õ¾±²Ôθθ^) ……. (1)

Here, μ0 is the permeability of free space.

03

Magnetic field due to the glass rod

Let the field point be along x with the origin at the center of the rod as shown below.

The x components from dipoles in the positive z direction will cancel those from the negative z direction. The z components will add up. The net field will thus be along z . From equation (1),

B→=μ04Ï€2m∫0L22³¦´Ç²õθr^+²õ¾±²Ôθθ^r3dz=μ04Ï€2m∫0L22³¦´Ç²õ賦´Ç²õθz^+²õ¾±²Ôθ-²õ¾±²Ôθz^r3dz=μ04Ï€2m∫0L23cos2θ-1r3dzz^

From the figure

sinθ=srz=-scotθdz=ssin2θdθ

The magnetic moment is

m=πσӬR3

Substitute these in the magnetic field equation to get

B→=μ04Ï€2πσӬR3∫π2θm3cos2θ-1sin3θs3ssin2θ»åθz^=μ0σӬR32s2∫π2θm3cos2θ-1²õ¾±²Ôθ»åθz^=μ0σӬR32s2³¦´Ç²õθm1-cos2θmz^=μ0σӬR32s2³¦´Ç²õθmsin2θmz^

But the maximum angle is given by

sinθm=ss2+L22cosθm=-L2s2+L22

Substitute these to get

role="math" localid="1658486298306" B→=μ0σӬR32s2-L2s2+L22s2s2+L22z^=-μ0σӬR3L4s2+L223/2z^

Thus, the net field is role="math" localid="1658486286935" -μ0σӬR3L4s2+L223/2z^.

Most popular questions from this chapter

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 uniformly charged solid sphere of radius R carries a total charge Q, and is set spinning with angular velocity w about the z axis.

(a) What is the magnetic dipole moment of the sphere?

(b) Find the average magnetic field within the sphere (see Prob. 5.59).

(c) Find the approximate vector potential at a point (r, B) where r>> R.

(d) Find the exact potential at a point (r, B) outside the sphere, and check that it is consistent with (c). [Hint: refer to Ex. 5.11.]

(e) Find the magnetic field at a point (r, B) inside the sphere (Prob. 5.30), and check that it is consistent with (b).

It may have occurred to you that since parallel currents attract, the current within a single wire should contract into a tiny concentrated stream along the axis. Yet in practice the current typically distributes itself quite uniformly over the wire. How do you account for this? If the positive charges (density ÒÏ+) are "nailed down," and the negative charges (densityÒÏ-) move at speed v(and none of these depends on the distance from the axis), show that ÒÏ-=-ÒÏ+γ2,Whereγ≡1/1-(v/c)2andc2=1/μ0ε0. If the wire as a whole is neutral, where is the compensating charge located?22[Notice that for typical velocities (see Prob. 5.20), the two charge densities are essentially unchanged by the current (sinceγ≈1). In plasmas, however, where the positive charges are also free to move, this so-called pinch effect can be very significant.]

Suppose you wanted to find the field of a circular loop (Ex. 5.6) at a point r that is not directly above the center (Fig. 5.60). You might as well choose your axes so that r lies in the yz plane at (0, y, z). The source point is (R cos¢', R sin¢', 0), and ¢' runs from 0 to 2Jr. Set up the integrals25 from which you could calculate Bx , By and Bzand evaluate Bx explicitly.
