Two long coaxial solenoids each carry current I , but in opposite directions, as shown in Fig. 5.42. The inner solenoid (radius a) has turns per unit length, and the outer one (radius b) has .Find B in each of the three regions: (i) inside the inner solenoid, (ii) between them, and (iii) outside both.

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

Question: (a) Find the density of mobile charges in a piece of copper, assuming each atom contributes one free electron. [Look up the necessary physical constants.]
(b) Calculate the average electron velocity in a copper wire 1 mm in diameter, carrying a current of 1 A. [Note:This is literally a snail'space. How, then, can you carry on a long distance telephone conversation?]
(c) What is the force of attraction between two such wires, 1 em apart?
(d) If you could somehow remove the stationary positive charges, what would the electrical repulsion force be? How many times greater than the magnetic force is it?
(a) Construct the scalar potential for a "pure" magnetic dipole m.
(b) Construct a scalar potential for the spinning spherical shell (Ex. 5.11). [Hint: forthis is a pure dipole field, as you can see by comparing Eqs. 5.69 and 5.87.]
(c) Try doing the same for the interior of a solid spinning sphere. [Hint: If you solved Pro b. 5.30, you already know the field; set it equal to , and solve for U. What's the trouble?]
What current density would produce the vector potential, (where is a constant), in cylindrical coordinates?
