Step by step solution

01

Given data

A phonograph record carries a uniform density of "static electricity" σand rotates at angular velocity Ӭ.

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.

02

Surface and volume current density

The surface current density of a surface charge density σmoving with a speed v is

K=σ±¹.....(1)

The volume current density of a volume charge density ÒÏmoving with a speed v is

J=ÒÏv.....(2)

03

Surface current density of charged phonograph

The speed of the charge density rotating with angular velocityÓ¬in a circle of radius r is

v=Ó¬r

Substitute this in equation (1) to get

K=σӬr

Thus, the surface current density is σӬr.

04

Volume current density of charged sphere

The volume charge density of a sphere of radius R uniformly charged with a charge Q is

ÒÏ=Q43Ï€R3=3Q4Ï€R3

The speed at any point in the sphere rotating with angular velocity Ӭabout the z at a radial distance r and making angle θwith the z axis is

v=Ӭrsinθ

Substitute these in equation (2) to get

J=3Q4πR2×Ӭrsinθ=3QӬrsinθ4πR3

Thus, the volume current density islocalid="1657774147962" 3QӬrsinθ4πR3.

(a) Check that Eq. 5.65 is consistent with Eq. 5.63, by applying the divergence.

(b) Check that Eq. 5.65 is consistent with Eq. 5.47, by applying the curl.

(c) Check that Eq. 5.65 is consistent with Eq. 5.64, by applying the Laplacian.

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

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

(a) Check Eq. 5.76 for the configuration in Ex. 5.9.

(b) Check Eqs. 5.77 and 5.78 for the configuration in Ex. 5.11.

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.]
