A cylindrical capacitor is filled with two cyclindrical layers of dielectric with permittivity `espilon_(1)` and `espilon_(2)`. The inside radii of the layers are equal to `R_(1)` and `R_(2) gt R_(1)`. The maximum permissible values of electric field strength reaching teh breakdown value for both dielectrics simulttaneously ?

Answer» Let `lambda` be the linear charge density then,
`E_(1m) = (lambda)/(2pi epsilon_(0) R_(1) epsilon_(1))` ….(1)
and `E_(2m) = (lambda)/(2pi epsilon_(0) R_(2) epsilon_(2))` ….(2)
The breakdown in either case will occur at the smaller value of `r` for a simulataneous breakdown of both dielectrics.
From (1) and (2) ltbr. `E_(1m) R_(1) epsilon_(1) = E_(2m) R_(2) epsilon_(2)`, which is the sougth relationship.

A cylindrical layer of dielectric with permittivity `epsilon` is inserted into a cylindrical capacitor to fill up all the space between the electrodes. The mean radius of the electrodes equals `R`, the gap between them is equal to `d`, with `d lt lt R`. The constant voltage `V` is applied across the electrodes of the capacitor. Find the magnitude of the electric force pulling the dielectric into the capacitor.

Answer» We known that energy of a capacitor , `U = (q^(2))/(2C)`
Hence, from `F_(x) = (del U)/(del x):|_(q =const)`, We have, `F_(x) = (q^(2))/(2) (del c)/(del x)/C^(2)` ....(1)
Now, since `d lt lt R`, the capacitance of the given capacitor can be calculated by the formula of a parallel plate capacitor. Therefore, if the dielectric is intoduced upto a depth `x` and the length of the capacitor is `l`, we have,
`C = (2pi epsilon_(0) epsilon R x)/(d) + (2pi R epsilon_(0) (l - x))/(d)` ....(2)
From (1) and (2) we get,
`F_(x) = epsilon_(0) (epsilon - 1) (pi R V^(2))/(d)`

The radii of spherical capacitor electrodes are equal to `a` and `b`, with `a lt b`. The interlectordes `epsilon` and resistivity `rho`. Inititally the capacitor is not charged. At the moment `t = 0` the internal electorde gets a charge `q_(0)` Find: (a) the times variation of the charge on the internal elecrtordes, (b) the amount of the heat generated during the spreading of the charge.

Answer» (a) Let us mentally isolatate a thin spherical layer with inner and outer radii `r` and `r + dr` respective. Lince of current at all the points of this layer are perpendicular to it and therefore such a layer can be treated as a spherical conductor of thickness `dr` and cross sectional area `4pi r^(3)`. Now we know that resistance,
`dR = rho (dr)/(S(r)) = rho (dr)/(4pi r^(2))` ....(1)
Intergating expression (1) between teh Hints,
`int_(0)^(R) dR = int_(R)^(b) rho (dr)/(4pi r^(2))` or, `R = (rho)/(4pi) [(1)/(a) - (1)/(b)]` ......(2)
Capacitance of the network, `C = (4pi epsilon_(0) epsilon)/([(1)/(a) - (1)/(b)])` ......(3)
and `q = C varphi` [where `q` is the charge at any arbitary moment] ....(4)
also, `varphi = ((-dq)/(dt)) R`as capacitor is discharging, ....(5)
From Eqs.(2), (3),(4) and (5) we get,
`q = (4pi epsilon_(0) epsilon)/([(1)/(a) - (1)/(b)]) ([- (dq)/(dt)] rho [(1)/(a) - (1)/(b)])/(4pi)` or, `(dq)/(q) = (dt)/(rho epsilon epsilon_(0))`
Intergating `int_(q_(0))^(q) - (dq)/(q) = (1)/(rho epsilon_(0) epsilon) int_(0)^(t) dt = (dt)/(rho epsilon epsilon_(0))`
Hence `q = q_(0) e^((-t)/(rho epsilon_(0) epsilon))`
(b) From energy conservation heat generated,m during the spreading of the charge,
`H = U_(i) - U_(f)` [because `A_("cell") = 0`]
`= (1)/(2) (q_(0)^(2))/(4pi epsilon_(0) epsilon) [(1)/(a) - (1)/(b)] - 0 = (q_(0)^(2))/(8pi epsilon_(0) epsion) (b-a)/(ab)`

A cylindrical capacitor conneced to a `dc` voltage source `V` touches the surface of water with its end (Fig) The sepration `d` between the capacitors electrodes is substantially less than their mean radius. Find a height `h` to which the water level in the gap will rise. The, capilary effects are to be negelected.

Answer» If `C_(0)` is the inital capacitance of the condenser before water rises in it then
`U_(i) = (1)/(2) C_(0) V^(2)`, where `C_(0) = (epsilon_(0) 2l pi R)/(d)`
(`R` is the mean radius and `l` is the length of the capacitor plates.)
Suppose the liquid rises to a height `h` in it. Then the capacitance of the condenser is
`C = (epsilon epsilon_(0)h 2pi R)/(d) + (epsilon(l-h) 2pi R)/(d) = (epsilon_(0) 2pi R)/(d) (l + (epsilon - 1) h)`
and energy of the capacitor and the liquid (inculding both gravitational and electrostatic condtributions) is epsilon `(1)/(2) (epsilon_(0) 2pi R)/(d) (l + (epsilon - 1)h) V^(2) + rho g (2pi R hd) (h)/(2)`
If the capacitor were not connected to a battery this energy would have to be minimized. But the capacitor is connected to the battery and in effect the potential energy of the capacitor and the liquid increases by
`delta h ((epsilon_(0) 2pi R)/(2d) (epsilon - 1) V^(2) + rho g (2pi Rd) h)`
and that of the cell diminishes by the quantity `A_(cell)` which is the product of charge flown and `V`
`delta h (epsilon_(0) (2pi R))/(d) (epsilon - 1) V^(2)`
In equilbrium, the two must balance, so
`rho g dh = (epsilon_(0) (epsilon - 1) V^(2))/(2d)`
Hence `h = (epsilon_(0) (epsilon - 1) V^(2))/(2rho g d^(2))`
55.

Inside a parallel-plate capacitor there is a plate parallel to the outer plates, whose thickness is equal to `eta = 0.60` of the gap width. When the plates is absent the capacitor cpaacitance equals `c = 20 muF` . First, the capacitor was connected in parallel to a constant voltage source producting `V = 200 V`, then it was disconnected for it, after which the plates was slowly removed from teh gap. FInd the work perfomed during the removel, if the plate is (a) made of metal, (b) made of glass.

Answer» (a) When metal plate of thickness `eta d` is inserted inside the capacitor, capacitance of the system becomes `C_(0) = (epsilon_(0) S)/(d (1 - eta))`
Now, intially charge on the capacitor, `q_(0) = C_(0) V = (epsilon_(0) S V)/(d (1 - eta))`
Finally, capacitance of the capacitor, `C = (epsilon_(0) S)/(d)`
As the source is disconnected, charge on the plates will remain same during the process. Now, from energy conservation,
`U_(f) - U_(i) = A_("agent")` (as cell does no work)
or, `(1)/(2) (q_(0)^(2))/(C) - (1)/(2) (q_(0)^(2))/(C_(0)) = A_("agent")`
Hence `A_("agent") = (1)/(2) [(epsilon_(0) S V)/(d (1 - eta))]^(2) [(1)/(C) - ((1 - eta))/(C)] = (1)/(2) (C V^(2) eta)/((1 - eta)^(2)) = 1.5 mJ`
(b) Initally, capacitance of the system is given by
: `C_(0) = (C epsilon)/(eta (1 - epsilon) + epsilon)` (this is the capacitance of two capacitors in series)
So, charge on the plate , `q_(0) = C_(0) V`
Capacitance of the capacitor, after the glass plate has been removed equals `C` from energy conservation,
`A_("agent") = U_(f) - U_(i)`
`= (1)/(2) q_(0)^(2) [(1)/(C) - (1)/(C_(0))] = (1)/(2) (C V^(2) epsilon eta (epsilon - 1))/([epsilon - eta (epsilon -1)]^(2)) = 0.8 mJ`
56.

Each plate of a parallel -plate air capacitor has an area `S`. What amount of work has to be performed to slowly increases teh distance between the plates from `x_(1)` to `x_(2)` if (a) Capacitance of the capacitor which is equal to `q`, or (b) the voltage across the capacitor, which is equal to `V`, is kept constant in the process?

Answer» (a) Sought work is equivalent to the work is equavlaent to the work performed against the electric field created by one plate, holding at rest and to bring the other plate away. Therefore the requried work,
`A_("agent") = q E(x_(2) - x_(1))`.
where `E = (sigma)/(2 epsilon_(0))` is the intensity of the field created by one plate at the location of other.
So, `A_("gent") = q (sigma)/(2 epsilon_(0)) (x_(2) - x_(1)) = (q^(2))/(2 epsilon_(0) S) (x_(2) - x_(1))`
Alternate : `A_("ext") = Delta U` (as field potential)
`= (q^(2))/(2 epsilon_(0)S) x_(2) = (q^(2))/(2 epsilon_(0) S) x = (q^(2))/(2 epsilon_(0) S) (x_(2) - x_(1))`
(b) When voltage is kept const, the force acting on each plate acting on each plate of capacitor will depend on the distance between the plates.
So, elementary work done by agent, is it displacement over a distanace `dx`, relative to the other,
`dA = -F_(x) dx`
But, `F_(x) = - ((sigma (x))/(2 epsilon_(0))) S sigma(x)` and `sigma(x) = (epsilon_(0)V)/(x)`
Hence, `A = int DA = int_(x_(1))^(x_(2)) (1)/(2) epsilon_(0) (S V^(2))/(x^(2)) dx = (epsilon_(0) S V^(2))/(2) [(1)/(x_(1)) - (1)/(x_(2))]`
Alternate : From energy Conservation,
`U_(f) - U_(i) = A_(cell) + A_("agent")`
or `(1)/(2) (epsilon_(0) S)/(x_(2)) V^(2) - (1)/(2) (epsilon_(0) S)/(x_(1)) V^(2) = [(epsilon_(0) S)/(x_(2)) - (epsilon_(0) S)/(x_(1))] V^(2) + A_("agent")`
`(as A_("cell") = (q_(f) - q_(i)) V = (C_(f) - C_(i)) V^(2))`
So `A_("agent") = (epsilon_(0) S V^(2))/(2) [(1)/(x_(1)) - (1)/(x_(2))]`
57.

There is an infinite straight chain of alternating charges `q` and `-q` . The distance between teh neighbouring charges is equal to `a`. Find the interaction energy of each charge with all the others. Instruction . Make use of the expansion of In `(1 + alpha)` in a power series in `alpha`.

Answer» As the chain is of infinite length any two charge of same sign will occur symmetrically to any other charge of opposite sign.
So, interaction energy of each chagre with all the others,
`U = -2 (q^(2))/(4pi epsilon_(0) a) [1 - (1)/(2) + (1)/(3) - (1)/(4) + .....` up to `oo`] ....(1)
But In `(1 + x) = x - (1)/(2) x^(2) + (1)/(3) x^(3)`..... up to `oo`
and putting `x = 1` we get IN `2 = 1 - (1)/(2) + (1)/(3) + ....` up to `oo` .......(2)
From Eqs (1) and (2),
`U = (-q^(2) In 2)/(4pi epsilon_(0) a)`

since the period fo revolution of electrons in a unifrom magnetic field rapidly increases with the growth of energy, a cyclotron in unsuitable for their accelearation. This drawback is rectified in a microton (Fig) in which a change `Delta T` in the period of revolution of an electron is made multipile with the period of acclerating field `T_(0)`. How many times has an electron to cross the accerating gap of a microtron to acquire an energy `W = 4.6 MeV` if `Delta T = T_(0)` the magnetic induction is equal to `B = 107 mT`, and the frequency of accelerating field to `v = 3000 MHz` ?

Answer» In the nth oribit, `(2pi r_(n))/(v_(n)) = n T_(0) = (n)/(v)`. We igonre the rest mass of the electron and write `v_(n) = c`. Also `W = cp = cBer_(n)`.
Thus, `(2pi W)/(B ec^(2)) = (n)/(v)`
or, `n = (2pi W v)/(Be c^(2)) = 9`
59.

Up to what values of kinetic energy does the period of revolution of an electron and a proton in a uniform magnetic field exceed that at non-relativistic velocities by `eta = 1.0 %`

Answer» From (3.279),
`T = (2pi epsilon)/(c^(2) eB)` (relativistic). `T_(0) = (2pi m_(0) c^(2))/(c^(2) eVB)` (nonrelativistic),
Here, `m_(0) c^(2)//sqrt(1 - v^(2)//c^(2)) = E`
Thus, `delta T = (2pi T)/(c^(2) eB), (T = K.E.)`
Now, `(delta T)/(T_(0)) = eta = (T)/(m_(0) c^(2))`, so, `T = eta m_(0) c^(2)`

`-d varphi = vec(E) . vec(dr) = (ay vec(i) + (ax + bz) vec(j) + by vec(k)). (dx vec(i) + dy vec(j) + dx vec(k))`
`= a(y dx + ax dy) + b(z by + y dz) = ad (xy) + bd(yz)`
On intergating
`varphi = -(a xy + b yz) + C`

What would be the interaction force between two coppersphers, each of mass `1 g`, separated by the distance `1m`, if the total electrons charge in them differted from the total charge of the nuclei by one of part cent?

Answer» Total number of atons in the sphere fo mass `1 gm = (1)/(63.54) xx10^(23)`
So the total auclear charge `lambda = (6.023xx10^(23))/(63.54) xx1.6xx10^(-19)xx29`
Now the charge on the sphere = Total nuclear charge - Total electronic change
`= (6.023xx10^(23))/(63.54)xx1.6xx10^(-19)xx (29xx1)/(100) = 4.298xx10^(2) C`
Hence force of interaction between these two spheres,
`F =(1)/(4pi epsilon_(0)) . ([4.398xx10^(2)]^(2))/(1^(2)) N = 9xx10^(9)xx10^(4) xx19.348 N = 1.74xx10^(15) N`

Calculate the ratio of the electrostatic of gravitational inteaction forces between two electrons, between two protons. At what values of the specific cahreg `q//m` of a praticle would these forces become equal (in their absoule values) in the case of interaction of indentical) particles ?

Answer» `F_(el)` (for electrons) = `(q^(2))/(4pi epsilon_(0) r^(2))` and `F_(gr) = (gamma m^(2))/(r^(2))`
Thus, `(F_(el))/(F_(gr))` for electrons) `= (q^(2))/(4pi epsilon_(0) gamma m^(2))`
`= ((1.602xx10^(-19) C)^(2))/(((1)/(9xx10^(9))) xx6.67xx10^(-11) m^(3)//(kg . s^(2)) xx (9.11xx10^(-31) kg)^(2)) = 4xx10^(42)`
Similarly `(F_(el))/(F_(gr))` (for proton) `= (q^(2))/(4pi epsilon_(0) gamma m^(2))`
`= ((1.602xx10^(-19) C)^(2))/(((1)/(9xx10^(9))) xx6.67xx10^(-11) m^(3)//(kg . s^(2)) xx (1.672xx10^(-27) kg)^(2)) = 1xx10^(36)`
For `F_(el) = F_(gr)`
`(q^(2))/(4pi epsilon_(0) r^(2))` or `(gamma m^(2))/(r^(2))` or `(q)/(m) = sqrt(4pi epsilon_(0) gamma)`
`= sqrt((6.67xx10^(-11) m^(3) (kg-s^(2)))/(9xx10^(9))) = 0.86xx10^(-10) C//kg`

Two protons move parallel to each other with an equal velcity `v = 300 km//s`. Find the ration of forces of magentic and electricla of the protons.

Answer» Force of magentic interaction `vec(F)_(mag) = e(vec(v) xx vec(B))`
Where, `vec(B) = (mu_(0))/(4pi) (e (vec(v) xx vec(r)))/(r^(3))`
So, `vec(F)_(mag) = (mu_(0))/(4pi) (e^(2))/(r^(3)) [vec(v) xx (vec(v) xx vec(r))]`
`= (mu_(0))/(4pi) (e^(2))/(r^(3)) [(vec(v). vec(r)) xx vec(v) - (vec(v) . vec(v)) xx vec(r)] = (mu_(0))/(4pi) (e^(2))/(r^(3)) (-v^(2) vec(r))`
And `vec(F)_("ele") = e vec(E) = e (1)/(4pi epsilon_(0)) (e vec(r))/(|vec(r)|^(3))`
Hence, `(|vec(F)_(mag)|)/(|vec(F)_("electric")|) = v^(2) mu_(0) epsilon_(0) = ((v)/(c))^(2) = 1.00xx10^(-6)`

A point dipole with an electric moment `p` oriented in the positive direction of the z axis si located at the origin of coordinates. Find the projections `E_(z)` and `E_(_|_)` of the electric field strength vector (on the plane perpendicular to the z axis at the poiny `S`. At which points is `E` perpendicular to `p` ?

Answer» From the results, obtained in the previous problem,
`E_(r) = (2P cos theta)/(4pi epsilon_(0) r^(3))` and `E_(theta) = (p sin theta)/(4pi epsilon_(0) r^(3))`
From the given figure, it si clear that,
`E_(z) = E_(r) cos theta - E_(theta) sin theta = (p)/(4pi epsilon_(0) r^(3)) (3 cos^(2) theta - 1)`
and `E_(_|_) = sin theta+ E_(0) cos theta = (3 p sin theta cos theta)/(4pi epsilon_(0) r^(3))`
When `vec(E) _|_ vec(p), |vec(E)| = E_(_|_)` and `E_(x) = 0`
So `3 cos^(2) theta = 1` and `cos theta = (1)/(sqrt(3))`
Thsu `vec(E_(_|_)) vec(p)` at the points located on teh lateral surface of the lateral surface of the come, having its axis, coinciding with the direction ofz-axis and semi vertex angle `theta = cos^(-1) 1//sqrt(3)`

A parallel plate capacitor with area of each plate equal to `S` and the separation between them to `d` is put into a stream of conducting liquid with respectivity `rho`. The liquid moves parallel to the plates with a constant velocity `v`. The whoel system is located in a unifrom magentic field of induction `B`, vector `B` being parallel to the plates are interconnected by means of an exteranal resistance `R`. What amount of power is genrated in that resistance? At what value of `R` is the generated power the highest? What is this highest power equla to ?

Answer» Resistance of the liquid between the plates `= (rho d)/(S)`
Voltage beween the plates `= Ed = v Bd`,
Current through the plates `= (vBd)/(R + (rho d)/(S))`
Power generted, in the external resistance `R`,
`P = (v^(2) B^(2) d^(2) R)/((R + (rho d)/(S))^(2)) = (v^(2) B^(2) d^(2))/((sqrt(R) + (rho d)/(S sqrt(R)))^(2)) = (v^(2) B^(2) d^(2))/([{R^(1//4) - ((rho)/(S sqrt(R)))^(1//2) }^(2) + 2 sqrt((rho d)/(S))]^(2))`
This is maximum when `R = (rho D)/(S)` and `P_(max) = (v^(2) B^(2) Sd)/(4 rho )`

There is an infinite wire grid with square cells (Fig). The resistance of each wire between neighbouring joint connections is equal to `R_(0)` . Find the resistance `R` of the whole grid between points `A` and `B`. Instruction. Make use of principles of symmetry and superposition.

Answer» Suppose that the voltage `V` is applied between the points `A` and `B` then
`V = IR = I_(0) R_(0)`
where `R` is resistance of whole the grid `I`, the current through the grid and `I_(0)` the current through the segment `AB`. Now from symmetry , `I//4` is the part of the current, flowing through all the four wire segments, meeting at the poin `A` and similarly the amount of current flowing through the wires, meeting at `B` is also `I//4`. Thus a current `1//2` flows through the conductor `AB`, ie.
`I_(0) = (1)/(2)`
Hence, `R = (R_(0))/(2)`

Calculate the time constant `tau` of a straight solenoid of length `l = 1.0 m` having a single-layer winding of copper wire whose total mass is equal to `m = 1.0 kg`. The cross-sectional diameter of the solenoid is assumed to be considerably less than its length.

Answer» The time constant `tau` given by
`tau = (L)/(R) = (L)/(rho_(0) (l_(0))/(S))`
where, `rho_(0)` = resistivity, `l_(0)` = length of the winding wire, `S` = cross section of the wire.
But `m = l rho_(0) S`
So eliminating `S,tau = (L)/((rho_(0) l_(0))/(m//rho l_(0))) = (mL)/(rho rho_(0) l_(0)^(2))`
From problem `3.315 l_(0) = sqrt((4pi r l L)/(mu_(0)))`
(note the interchange of `l` and `l_(0)` because of difference in notation here.)
Thus, `tau = (mL)/(rho rho_(0) (4pi)/(mu_(0)) L l) = mu_(0) 4pi (m)/(rho rho_(0) l) = 0.7 ms`

A current `I ` flows radius along a lengthy thin-walled tube of radisu `R` with longiitual slit of width `h`. Find the induction of the magnietic field inside the tube under the condition `h lt lt R`

Answer» The thin walled tube with a longitudinal slit can be considered equivalent to a fill tube and a strip carrying the same current density in the opposite direction. Inside the tube, the former does not contibute so the total magnetic field is simply that due to the strip. It is
`B = (mu_(0))/(2pi) ((I//2 pi R) h)/(r) = (mu_(0) I h)/(4 pi^(2) R r)`
where `r` is the distance of the find point from the strip.

A small current-carrying loop is located at a distance `r` from a long straight conductor with current `I`. The magnetic moment of the loop is equal to `p_(m)`. Find the magnitude and direction of the force vector applied to the loop if the vector `p_(m)` (a) is parallel to the stratight conductor, (b) is oriented along the radius vector `r`, (c) coincides in direction with the magnetic field produced by the current `I` the point where the loop is located.

Answer» Due to the straight conductor, `B_(varphi) = (mu_(0) I)/(2pi r)`
We use the formula, `vec(F) = (vec(p_(m)). vec(grad)) vec(B)`
(a) The vector `vec(p_(m))` is parallel to the staright conductor.
`vec(F) = p_(m) (del)/(del Z) vec(B) = 0`,
because netiher the direction nor the magnitude of `vec(B)` depends on `z`
(b) The vector `vec(p_(m))` is oriented along the radius vector `vec(r)`
`vec(F) = p_(m) (del)/(del r) vec(B)`
The direction of `vec(B)` at `r + dr` is parallel to the direction at `r`. Thus only the `varphi` component of `vec(F)` will survive.
`F_(varphi) = p_(m) (del)/(del r) (mu_(0) I)/(2pi r) = - (mu_(0) I p_(m))/(2pi^(2))`
(c) The vector `vec(p_(m))` coincides in direction with the magnetic field, produced by the conductor carrying current `I`
`vec(F) = p_(m) (del)/(r del varphi) (mu_(0) I)/(2pi) vec(e_(varphi)) = (mu_(0) I p_(m))/(2pi r^(2)) (del vec(e_(varphi)))/(del varphi)`
So, `vec(F) = (mu_(0) I p_(m))/(2pi r^(2)) vec(e_(r))` As, `(del vec(e_(varphi)))/(del_(varphi)) = -vec(e_(r))`

How much (in per cent) has a filament diameter decreased due to evaporation if the maintances of the previous temperature due to evaporation if the maintenance of the previous temperatur required an increases of the voltage by `eta = 1.0 %` ? The amount of heat transfereed fromt the filament into surrounding space is assumed to be propotional to the filament surface area.

Answer» If the wire diameter decreases by `sigma` then by the information given
`P` = Power input `= (V^(2))/(R)` = beat lostg throgh the surface, `H`.
Now, `H prop (1 - sigma)` like the surface area and
`R prop (1 - sigma)^(2)`
So, `(V^(2))/(R_(0)) (1 - sigma)^(2) = A (1 - sigma)` or, `V^(2) (1 - sigma)` = constant
But `V prop 1 + eta` so `(1 + eta)^(2) (1 - sigma)` = constant = 1
Thus `sigma = 2 eta = 2%`

A non-relativistic charged particle files through the electric field of a cyclindrical capacitor and gets into a unifrom transverse magnetic field with induction `B`(fig). In the capacitor the particle moves along the are of a circle, in the magnetic field, along a semi-circle of radius `r`. The potential differnce applied to the capacitor is equal to `V`, the radii of the electrodes are equal to `a` and `b`, with `a lt b`. Find the velocity of the particle and its specific charge `q//m`.

Answer» Inside the capacitor, the electric field follows `a (1)/(r)` law, and so the potential can be written as
`varphi = (V In r//a)/(In b//a), E = (-V)/(In b//a) (1)/(r)`,
Here `r` is the distance from the axis of the capacitor.
Also, `(mv^(2))/(r) = (qV)/(In b//a r) (1)/(r)` or `mv^(2) = (qV)/(In b//a)`
On the other hand
`mv = q B r` in the magentic field.
Thus, `v = (V )/(B r In b//a)` and `(q)/(m) = (v)/(Br) = (V)/(B^(2) r^(2) In (b//a))`

The ill effects associated with the variatiion of the period of revolution of the particle in a cyclotron due to the increase of its energy are eleminated by slow monitoring (modulating ) the frequency of accelerting field. According to what law `omega (t)` should this frequencecy by mointored if the masgnetic induction is equal to `B` and the particle acquires an energy `Delta W` per revolution ? The charge of the particle is `q` and its mass is `m`.

Answer» The basic condition is the relatistiv equaction,
`(mv^(2))/(r) = Bqv`, or, `mv = (m_(0) v)/(sqrt(1 - v^(2)//c^(2))) = Bqr`.
Or calling, `omega = (Bq)/(m)`,
we get, `omega = (omega_(0))/(sqrt(1 + (omega_(0)^(2) r^(2))/(c^(2)))), omega_(0) = (Bq)/(m_(0)) r`
is the radius of the instantanceous orbit,
The time of acceleration is,
`t = sum_(n = 1)^(N) (1)/(2 v_(n)) = sum_(n = 1)^(N) (pi)/(omega_(n)) = sum_(n)^(N) (pi W_(n))/(q Bc^(2))`
`N` is the numbr of crossing of either `Dee`.
But,n `W_(n) = m_(0) c^(2) + (n Delta W)/(2)`, there being two crossings of the Dees per revolution.
So, `t = sum (pi m_(0) c^(2))/(qB c^(2)) + sum (pi Delta W_(n))/(2q B c^(2))`
`= N (Pi)/(omega_(0)) + (N (N + 1))/(4) (pi Delta W)/(qB c^(2)) = N^(2) (pi Delta W)/(4 q Bc^(2)) (N gt gt 1)`
Also, `r = r_(N) (v_(N))/(omega_(N)) = (c)/(pi) (del t)/(del N) = (Delta W)/(2q Bc) N`
Hence finally, `omega = (omega_(0))/(sqrt(1 + (q^(2) B^(2))/(m_(0)^(2) c^(2)) xx (Del W^(2))/(4 q^(2) B^(2) c^(2))) N^(2))`
`= (omega_(0))/(sqrt(1 + ((Delta W)^(2))/(4 m_(0)^(2) c^(4)) xx (4 q Bc^(2))/(pi Delta W) t)) = (omega_(0))/(sqrt(1 + at))`,
`a = (q B Delta W)/(pi m_(0)^(2) c^(2))`

A particle with specific charge `q//m` is located inside a round solenoid at a distance `r` from its axis. With the current swichted into the winding, the magnetic induction of the field generated by the solenoid amounts to `B`. Find the velocity of the particle and the curvature radius of its trajectory,n assuming that during the increase of current flowing in the solenoid the particle shifts by a negligible distance.

Answer» When the magnetic field is being set up in the solenoid, and electric field will be induced in it, this will accelerate the charged paritcle. If `B` is the rate, at which the matgnetic field is increasing, then.
`pi r^(2) dotB = 2pi r E` or `E = (1)/(2) r dotB`
Thus, `m (dv)/(dt) = (1)/(2) r dotB q`, or `v = (qBr)/(2m)`,
After the field is set up, the parcticle will execute a circular motion of radius `rho`, where
`mv = B q rho`, or `rho = (1)/(2) r`

Half of an infinitely long straight current-carrying solenoid is filled with magnetic substance as shown in Fig. Draw the appoximater plots of magnetic induction `B`, strength `H` and magnetization `J` on the axis as functions of `x`.

Answer» We can obtain the form of the curves, required here, by quanlitative arguments.
From `oint vec(H).d. vec(l) = I`
we get `H(x gt gt o) = H(x lt lt o) = nl`
Then `B(x gt gt 0) = mu mu_(0) nI`
`B(x lt lt o) = mu_(0) nI`
Also, `B (x lt 0) = mu_(0) H (x lt o)`
`J(x lt 0) = 0`
`B` is continous at `x = 0`, `H` is not. These give the required curves as shwon in the anser sheet.
