Short Answer

(a) It is sown that the total current passing through the entire cross section of the wire is I0.

(b) The expression for the magnitude of the magnetic field in region r≥aisB=μ0I0

(c) Theexpression for the current Icontained in a circular cross section of radius r ≤aand cantered at the cylinder axis isl02r2a22-r2a2

(d) The expression according to Ampere’s Law of the magnitude of the magnetic fieldB→ in the region r≤a isB=μ0l0r2Ï€²¹22-r2a2

When r = a the magnetic fields calculated in part (b) and (d) is the same.

Step by step solution

01

(a) Determination if the total current passing through the entire cross section of the wire is I0.

Refer to the image below,

Here, the cross section of the cylinder is divided into thin concentric rings of radius r and dr with current through each ring as dI,

The differential area is dA=2Ï€rdr

So,

dl=JdA=2Ï€°ù»å°ù

Integrate the above equation by substituting the current density expression from the question,

dI=2I0πa21−ra22πrdr=4I0a21−ra2rdr

Therefore,

I=∫0a dI=4I0a212r2−14r4a20a=I0

Hence proved.

02

(b) Determination of the expression for the magnitude of the magnetic field in region r  ≥a.

With the help of Ampere’s Law, a ampere’s circle is drawn as shown below.

Apply Ampere’s circuital law for the circle of radius r ≤a

∫B→⋅dl→=B∫dl=B(2πr)=μ0Iend=μ0I0

Thus, the expression of magnetic field islocalid="1668342539849" B=μ0I0

03

(c) Determination of the current I contained in a circular cross section of radius r ≤ a and cantered at the cylinder axis.

Again dividing the cross section into thin concentric strips of radius r' and width dr' as shown below,

Similar to part (a), the current passing through the element chosen is,

dI=4I0a21−r′a2r′dr′

Thus, Integrate the above equation to obtain the expression for current,

I=∫0a dl=4I0a212r′2−14r′4a20r=I0r2a22−r2a2

04

(d) Determination of the expression according to Ampere’s Law of the magnitude of the magnetic field  in the region r  ≤a.

With the help of Ampere’s Law, a ampere’s circle is drawn as shown below.

Apply Ampere’s circuital law for the circle of radius r ≥a

∫B→⋅dl→=B∫dl=B(2πr)=μ0Iencl=μ0I0r2a22−r2a2

Thus, the expression of magnetic field is B=μ0I0r2πa22−r2a2

Question: You connect a battery, resistor, and capacitor as in Fig. 26.20a, where R = 12.0 Ω and C = 5.00 x 10-6 F. The switch S is closed at t = 0. When the current in the circuit has a magnitude of 3.00 A, the charge on the capacitor is 40.0 x 10-6 C. (a) What is the emf of the battery? (b) At what time t after the switch is closed is the charge on the capacitor equal to 40.0 x 10-6 C? (c) When the current has magnitude 3.00 A, at what rate is energy being (i) stored in the capacitor, (ii) supplied by the battery

Question: The circuit shown in Fig. P26.74, called a Wheatstone Bridge, is used to determine the value of an unknown resistor X by comparison with three resistors M, N, and P whose resistances can be varied. For each setting, the resistance of each resistor is precisely known. With switches S1 and S2 closed, these resistors are varied until the current in the galvanometer G is zero; the bridge is then said to be balanced. (a) Show that under this condition the unknown resistance is given by X = MP/N. (This method permits very high precision in comparing resistors.) (b) If galvanometer G shows zero deflection when M = 850.0 Ω, N = 15.00 Ω, and P = 33.48 Ω, what is the unknown resistance X?
