A magentic flux through a statinary loop with a resistance `R` varies during the tiem interval `tau` as `Phi = at (tau - t)`. Find the amount of heat generated in the loop during that time. The inductance of the loop is to be neglected.

Answer» The amount of heat generated in the loop during a small time interval `dl`,
`d Q = xi^(2)//R dt`, but `xi = - (d Phi)/(dt) = 2 at-a tau`,
So, `d Q = ((2 at - a tau)^(2))/(R) dt`
and hence, the amoung of heat, generated in the loop during the time interval 0 to `tau`.
`Q = int_(0)^(tau) ((2at - a tau)^(2))/(R) dt = (1)/(3) (a^(2) tau^(3))/(R)`

A direct current of density `j` flows along a round unifrom staright wire with cross-section radius `R`. Find the magnectic induction vector of this current at the point whose position relative to the axis of the wire is defined by a radius vector `r`. The magentic permeabilility is assumed to be equla to unity thoughhout all the space.

Answer» By circulation theorem inside the conductor
`B_(varphi) 2pi r = mu_(0) j_(x) pi r^(2)`, or `B_(varphi) = mu_(0) j_(x) r//2`
i.e., `vec(B) = (1)/(2) mu_(0) vec(j) xx vec(r)`
Similarly outside the conductor,
`B_(varphi) 2pi r = mu_(0) j_(x) pi R^(2)` or, `B_(varphi) = (1)/(2) mu_(0)j_(x) (R^(2))/(r)`
So, `vec(B) = (1)/(2) mu_(0) (vec(j) xx vec(r)) (R^(2))/(r^(2))`
5.

A supercondutig round ring of radius `a` and inductance `L` was located in a unifrom magnetic fied of induction `B`. The ring plane was parallel to the vector `B`, and the current in the ring was equal to zero. Them the ring was turned through `90^(@)` so that its plane became perpendicular to the feild. FInd: (a) the current induced in the ring after the turn, (b) the work perfromed during the turn.

Answer» In a superconductor there is no resistance, Hence,
`L (dI)/(dt) + (d Phi)/(dt)`
So intergating `I = (Delta Phi)/(L) = (pi a^(2) B)/(L)`
because `Delta Phi = Phi_(f) - Phi_(i), Phi_(f) = pi a^(2) B, Phi_(i) = 0`
Also, the work done is `A = int xi I dt = int (d Phi)/(dt) = (1)/(2) L I^(2) = (1)/(2) (pi^(2) a^(4) B^(2))/(L)`

A system consists of two parallel planes carrying currents producing a unifrom magnetic field of induction `B` between the planes. Outside this space there is no magnetic field. Find the magnetic force acting this space there is no magentic field. Find the magnetic force acting per unit area of each plane.

Answer» By the circulation theorem `B = mu_(0) i`,
where `i` = current per unit length flowing along the plane perpendicular to the sphere. Currents flow in the opposite sense in the two planes is just `(1)/(2) B`. The force on the plate in,
`(1)/(2) B xx i xx` Length `xx` Breadth `= (B^(2))/(2 mu_(0))` per unit area.
(Recall the formula `F = BIl` on a straight wire.)

Find the magnetic induction at the point `O` if the wire carrying a current `I = 8.0 A` has the shwon in Fig. The radius of the curved part of the wire is `R = 100 mm`, the linear parts of the wire are very long.

Answer» (a) `vec(B_(0)) = vec(B_(1)) + vec(B_(2)) + vec(B_(3))`
`= (mu_(0))/(4pi) (i)/(R) (-vec(k)) + (mu_(0))/(4pi) (i)/(R) pi (-vec(i)) + (mu_(0))/(4pi) (i)/(R) (-vec(k))`
`= -(mu_(0))/(4pi) (i)/(R) [2vec(k) + pi l]`
So, `|vec(B_(0))| = (mu_(0))/(4pi) (i)/(R) sqrt(pi^(2) + 4) = 0.30 mu T`
(b) `vec(B_(0)) = vec(B_(1)) + vec(B_(2)) + vec(B_(3))`
`= (mu_(0))/(4pi) (i)/(R) (-vec(k)) + (mu_(0))/(4pi) (i)/(R) pi (-vec(i)) + (mu_(0))/(4pi) (i)/(R) (-vec(i))`
`= -(mu_(0))/(4pi) (i)/(R) [vec(k) + (pi + 1) vec(i)]`
So,
`|vec(B_(0))| = (mu_(0))/(4pi) (i)/(R) sqrt(1 + (pi + 1)^(2)) = 0.34 mu T`
(c) Here using the law of parallel resistances
`i_(1) + i_(2) = 1` and `(i_(1))/(i_(2)) = (1)/(3)`,
So, `(i_(1) + i_(2))/(i_(2)) = (4)/(3)`
Hence `i_(2) = (3)/(4) i`, and `i_(1) = (1)/(4) i`
Thus `vec(B_(0)) = (mu_(0))/(4pi) (i)/(R) (-vec(k)) + (mu_(0))/(4pi) (i)/(R) (-vec(j)) + [(mu_(0))/(4pi) ((3pi)/(2)) (i_(1))/(R) (-vec(i)) + (mu_(0))/(4pi) ((pi//2) i_(2))/(R) vec(i)]`
`= (-mu_(0))/(4pi) (i)/(R) (vec(j) + vec(k)) + 0`
Thus, `|vec(B_(0))| = (mu_(0))/(4pi) (sqrta(2)i)/(R) = 0.11 mu T`

`N = 300` turns of thin wire are uniformly wound on a permanent magnet shaped as a cylinder whose length is equla to `l = 15 cm`. When a current `I = 3.0 A` was passed through the wring the field outside the magnet disappeared. Find the coercive force `H_(e)` of the materail from which the magnet was manufaucured.

Answer» The corecive force `H_(e)` is just the magnitude field within the cylinder. This is by circulation theorem, `H_(e) = (N I)/(l) = 6 kA//m`
(from `oint vec(H).d.vec(r) = I`, total current considering a recantagular contour.)

In Hall effect measurements ina sodium conductor the strength of a transervse field was found to be equla to `E = 5.0 mu V//cm` with a current density `j = 200 A//cm^(2)` and magentic induction `B = 1.00 T`. Find the conentrations of the condiction electrons and its ratio to the total number of atoms in the given conductor.

Answer» Here, `v_(d) = (E)/(B)` and `j = "ne" v_(4)`
so, `n = (jB)/(eE) = (200xx10^(4) (A)/(m^(2)) xx 1 T)/(1.6xx10^(-19)C xx 5xx10^(-4)) V//m`
`= 2.5xx10^(28) per m^(3) = 2.5xx10^(22)` per `c.c.`
Atomic weight of `Na` being 23 and its density = 1, motar volume is `23 c.c.` This number of atoms per unit volume is `(6xx10^(23))/(23) = 2.6xx10^(22)` per `c.c`.
Thus there is alomost one conduction electron per atom.

Answer» By definiation, modility = `("dirft velocity")/("Electric field compon ents causing this drift")` or `mu = (v)/(E_(L))`
On other hand,
`E_(T) = vB = (E_(L))/(eta)`, as given so, `mu = (1)/(eta B) = 3.2xx10^(-3) m^(2)//(V .s)`

Under these conditions the dielectrics becomes polarized unifromly. making use of the result obtained in the foregoing probem, find the electric field strength `E` is the cylinder and the polarization `P` of the distance whose permittivity is equal to `epsilon`.

Answer» As in 3.98, we wire `vec(E) = vec(E) = vec(E_(0)) - (vec(P))/(2epsilon_(0))`
using being the result of the foregoing problem.
Also, `vec(P) = (epsilon - 1) epsilon_(0) vec(E)`
So, `vec(E) ((epsilon + 1)/(2)) = vec(E_(0))`, or, `vec(E) = (2 vec(E_(0)))/(epsilon + 1)` and `vec(P) = 2epsilon_(0) (epsilon - 1)/(epsilon + 1) vec(E_(0))`

A very long straight solenoid carries a current `i`. The cross-sectional area of the solenoid is equal to `S`, the number of turns per unit length is equal to `n`. Find the flux of the vector `B` through the end plane of the solenoid.

Answer» The magnetic field is given by
`B = (1)/(2) mu_(0) nI (1 - (x)/(sqrt(x^(2) + R^(2))))`
At the end, `B = (1)/(2) mu_(0) n I = (1)/(2) B_(0)`, where `B_(0) = mu_(0) nI`,
is the field deep inside the solement. Thus,
`Phi = (1)/(2) mu_(0) n IS = Phi//2` where `Phi = mu_(0) nl S`

An electron accelerated by a potnetial difference `V = 1.0 kV` moves in a unifrom magentic field at angle `alpha = 30^(@)` to the vector `B` whose modulus is `B = 29 mT`. Find the pithch of the helical trajectroy of the electron.

Answer» `T = eV = (1)/(2) mv^(2)`
(The given potential difference is not large enough to cause significant deviations from the nonletivistic formula).
Thus,. `v = sqrt((2eV)/(m))`
So, `v_(||) = sqrt((2eV)/(m)) cos alpha, v_(_|_) = sqrt((2eV)/(m)) sin alpha`
Now, `(m v_(_|_)^(2))/(r) = B ev_(_|_)` or, `r = (m v_(_|_))/(Be)`,
and `T = (2pi)/(v_(_|_)) = (2pi m)/(Be)`
Pitch `p = v_(||) T = (2pi m)/(Be) sqrt((2eV)/(m)) cos alpha = 2pi sqrt((2mV)/(eB^(2))) cos alpha`

Two metal balls of the same radius `a` are located in a homongenous poorly conducting medium with resistivity `rho`. Find the resistance of the medium between the balls provided that the separation between them is mush greater than the radius of the ball.

Answer» Let us mentally impart the charge `+q` and `-q` to the balls respectively. The electric field strength at the surface of a ball will be determined only by is own charge and the charge can be considred to be uniformly distributed over the surface, because the other ball is at infinite distance. Magnitude of the field strength is given by,
`E = (q)/(4pi epsilon_(0) a^(2))`
So, current density `j = (1)/(rho) (q)/(4pi epsilon_(0) a^(2))` and electric current
`I = int vec(j). vec(dS) = jS = (q)/(rho 4pi epsilon_(0) a^(2)) = (q)/(rho epsilon_(0))`
But potential difference between the balls,
`varphi_(+) - varphi_(-) = 2 (q)/(4pi epsilon_(0) a)`
Hence, the sought resistanace, varphi `R = (varphi_(+) - varphi_(-))/(I) = (2q//4pi epsilon_(0) a)/(q//rho epsilon_(0)) = (rho)/(2pi a)`

Two conductors of aribitary shape are embedded into an infinite homogenous poorly conducting medium with respectivity `rho` and permittivity `epsilon`. Find the value of a product `RG` for this system where `R` is the resistance of the medium between the conductors, and `C` is the mutual capacitance of the wires in the presence of the medium.

Answer» Let us mentally impart charges `+q` and `-q` to the conductors. As the mediuim is poorly conducting, the surfaces of the conductors are equipotential and the field configuration is same as in the absense of the medium.
Let us surround for example the positively chagred conductor, by a closed surface `S`, just containing the conductor,
then, `R = (varphi)/(i) = (varphi)/(int vec(j). d vec(S)) , (varphi)/(int sigma E_(n) dS), as vec(j) uarr uarr vec(E)`
and `C = (q)/(varphi) = (epsilon epsilon_(0) int E_(n) dS)/(varphi)`
So, `RC = (epsilon epsilon_(0))/(sigma) = rho epsilon epsilon_(0)`

A charge `q` is distributed uniformly over the volume of a ball of radius `R`. Assuming the permittivity to be equal to unity, find : (a) the electrostatic self-energy of the ball, (b) the ratio of the energy `W_(1)` stored in the ball to the energy `W_(s)` pervadinting the surrounding space.

Answer» Electric fields inside and outside the sphere with the help of Gauss theorem :
`E_(1) = (varphi r)/(4pi epsilon R^(2)) (r le R), E_(2) = (q)/(4pi epsilon_(0)) (1)/(r^(2)) (r gt R)`
Sought self energy of the ball
`U = W_(1) + W_(2)`
`= int_(0)^(R) (epsilon_(0) E_(1)^(2))/(2) 4pi r^(2) dr + int_(R)^(oo) (epsilon_(0) E_(2)^(2))/(2) 4pi r^(2)n dr = (q^(2))/(8pi epsilon_(0) R) ((1)/(5) + 1)`
Hence, `U = (3q^(2))/(4pi epsilon_(0) 5R)` and `(W_(1))/(W_(2)) = (1)/(5)`

A point charge `q = 3.0 m,uC` is located at the centre of a spherical layer of uniform isotropic dielectric with permittivity `epsilon = 3.0`. The inside radius of the layer is equal to `a = 250 mm`, the outside radius is `b = 500 mm`. Find the electrostatic energy inside the dielectric layer.

Answer» (a) By exprerssion `int (1)/(2) epsilon_(0) epsilon E^(2) dV = int (1)/(2) epsilon_(0) E_(2) dV = int (1)/(2) epsilon E^(2) 4pi r^(2) dr`, for a spherical layer. To find the electrostativ energy inside the dielectric layer, we have to intergrate the upper expression in the limit `[a,b]`
`U = (1)/(2) epsilon_(0) epsilon int_(a)^(b) ((q)/(4pi epsilon_(0) epsilon r^(2)))^(2) 4pi r^(2) dr = (q^(2))/(8pi epsilon_(0) epsilon) [(1)/(a) - (1)/(b)] = 27 mJ`

A spherical shell is uniformly charged with the surface density `sigma`. Using the energy conservation law, find the magnitude of the electric force acting on a unit area of the shell.

Answer» Energy of the chagred sphere of radius `r`, from the equation
`U = (1)/(2) q varphi = (1)/(2) q (q)/(4pi epsilon_(0) r) = (q^(2))/(8pi epsilon_(0) r)`
If the radius of the shell changes by `dr` then work done is
`4pi r^(2) F_(u) dr = -dU = q^(2)//8pi epsilon_(0) r^(2)`
Thus sought force per unit area,
`F_(u) = (q^(2))/(4pi r^(2) (8pi epsilon_(0) r^(2))) = ((4pi r^(2) sigma)^(2))/(4pi r^(2) xx 8pi epsilon_(0) r^(2)) = (sigma^(2))/(2 epsilon_(0))`

What amount of heat will be generated in a coil of resistance `R` due to a charge q passing through it if the current in the coil a. decreases down to zero uniformly during a time interval `t_0`? b. decrases down to zero having its value every `t_0` seconds?

Answer» (a) As current `i` is linear function of time, and at `t = 0` and `Delta r`, it equals `i_(0)` and zero respectively, it may be represented as,
`i = i_(0) (1 - (t)/(Delta r))`
Thus `q = int_(0)^(Delta t) i dt = int_(0)^(Delta t) i_(0) (1 - (t)/(Delta r)) dt = (i_(0) Delta t)/(2)`
So, `i_(0) = (2q)/(Delta t)`
Hence, `i = (2q)/(Delta t) (1 - (t)/(Delta r))`
The heat generated.
`H = int_(0)^(Delta t) i^(2) R dt = int_(0)^(Delta t) [(2q)/(Delta r) (1 - (t)/(Delta r))]^(2) R dt = (4q^(2) R)/(3 Delta r)`
(b) Obviously the current through the coll is given by
`i = i_(0) ((1)/(2))^(t//Delta t)`
Then charge `q = int_(0)^(oo) idt = int_(0)^(oo) i_(0) 2^(-t//Delta t) dt = (i_(0) Delta t)/(In 2)`
So, `i_(0) = (q In 2)/(Delta t)`
And hence, heat generated in the circuit in the time interval `t[0, oo]`,
`H = int_(0)^(oo) i^(2) R dt = int_(0)^(oo) [(q In 2)/(Delta t)2^(-t//Deltat)]^(2) R dr = (-q In 2)/(2 Delta t) R`
