A flat, circular disk of radius R is uniformly charged with total charge Q. The disk spins at angular velocity about an axis through its center. What is the magnetic field strength at the center of the disk?
The heart produces a weak magnetic field that can be used to diagnose certain heart problems. It is a dipole field produced by a current loop in the outer layers of the heart.
a. It is estimated that the field at the center of the heart is . What current must circulate around an -diameter loop, about the size of a human heart, to produce this field?
b. What is the magnitude of the heart’s magnetic dipole moment.
a. An infinitely long sheet of charge of width L lies in the x y plane between x=-L / 2 and x=L / 2. The surface charge density is \eta. Derive an expression for the electric field at height above the centerline of the sheet.
b. Verify that your expression has the expected behavior if and if
c. Draw a graph of field strength E versus z.
A biophysics experiment uses a very sensitive magnetic field probe to determine the current associated with a nerve impulse traveling along an axon. If the peak field strength from an axon is , what is the peak current carried by the axon?
A long, straight conducting wire of radius R has a nonuniform current density , where is a constant. The wire carries total current I.
a. Find an expression for in terms of I and R.
b. Find an expression for the magnetic field strength inside the wire at radius r.
c. At the boundary, r = R, does your solution match the known field outside a long, straight current-carrying wire?
