Prof. Anchordoqui Problems set # 8 Physics 169 April 14, 2015 1. The unit of magnetic flux is named for Wilhelm Weber. The practical-size unit of magnetic field is named for Johann Karl Friedrich Gauss. Both were scientists at Gottingen, Germany. Along with their individual accomplishments, together they built a telegraph in 1833. It consisted of a battery and switch, at one end of a transmission line 3 km long, operating an electromagnet at the other end. (André Ampérè suggested electrical signaling in 1821; Samuel Morse built a telegraph line between Baltimore and Washington in 1844.) Suppose that Weber and Gausss transmission line was as diagrammed in Fig. 1. Two long, parallel wires, each having a mass per unit length of 40.0 g/m, are supported in a horizontal plane by strings 6.00 cm long. When both wires carry the same current I, the wires repel each other so that the angle θ between the supporting strings is 16.0◦ . (i) Are the currents in the same direction or in opposite directions? (ii) Find the magnitude of the current. Solution The separation between the wires is a a = 2 · 6.00cm · sin 8.00◦ = 1.67 cm. (i) Because the wires repel, the currents are in opposite directions. (ii) Because the magnetic force acts horiµ0 I 2 ` ◦ = tan 8.00◦ , yielding I 2 = mg2πa zontally, FFBg = 2πamg µ0 tan 8.00 and so I = 67.8 A. 2. Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of a coaxial cable. The center conductor is surrounded by a rubber layer, which is surrounded by an outer conductor, which is surrounded by another rubber layer. In a particular application, the current in the inner conductor is 1.00 A out of the page and the current in the outer conductor is 3.00 A into the page. Determine the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at points a and b. µ 0 Ia Solution From Ampere’s law, the magnetic field at point a is given by Ba = 2πr , where Ia is a the net current through the area of the circle of radius ra . In this case, Ia = 1.00 A out of the page −7 T·m/A·1 A (the current in the inner conductor), so Ba = 4π×10 = 200 µT toward top of the page. 2π·1.00×10−3 m µ0 Ib Similarly at point b: Bb = 2πrb , where Ib is the net current through the area of the circle having radius rb . Taking out of the page as positive, Ib = 1.00 A − 3.00 A = −2.00 A, or Ib = 2.00 A into −7 T·m/A·2 A the page. Therefore, Bb = 4π×10 = 133 µT toward the bottom of the page. 2π·3.00×10−3 m 3. A long cylindrical conductor of radius R carries a current I as shown in Fig. 3. The current density J, however, is not uniform over the cross section of the conductor but is a function of the radius according to J = br, where b is a constant. Find an expression for the magnetic field B (i) at a distance r1 < R and (ii) at a distance r2 > R, measured from the axis. H H ~ · d~s = µ0 I. For current density J, ~ this becomes B ~ · d~s = Solution Use Ampérè’s law, B R R r1 2 µ br 0 1 ~ (i) For r1 < R, this gives B2πr1 = µ0 µ0 J~ · dA. (for r1 < R or 3 0 br2πrdr and B R= 3 R inside the cylinder. (ii) When r2 > R, Ampérè’s law yields 2πr2 )B = µ0 0 br2πrdr = 2πµ30 bR or B= µ0 bR3 3r2 (for r2 > Ror outside the cylinder). 4. A toroid with a mean radius of 20.0 cm and 630 turns is filled with powdered steel whose magnetic susceptibility χ is 100. The current in the windings is 3.00 A. Find B (assumed uniform) inside the toroid. Solution: Assuming a uniform B inside the toroid is equivalent to assuming r R (see Fig. 4); 630·3.00 then B0 = µ0 H ≈ µ0 N I as for a tightly wound solenoid. This leads to B0 = µ0 2π·0.200 = 0.00189 T. With the steel, B = (1 + χ)µ0 H = 101 · 0.00189 T = 0.191 T. 5. At saturation, when nearly all of the atoms have their magnetic moments aligned, the magnetic field in a sample of iron can be 2.00 T. If each electron contributes a magnetic moment of 9.27×10−24 A · m2 (one Bohr magneton), how many electrons per atom contribute to the saturated field of iron? Iron contains approximately 8.50 × 1028 atoms/m3 . Solution Consider a torus made of unmagnetized iron. If the current in the primary coil is increased from zero to some value I, the magnitude of the magnetic field strength H increases linearly with I according to H = nI. Furthermore, the magnitude of the total field B also increases with increasing current, as shown by the curve from point O to point a in Fig. 5. At point O, the domains in the iron are randomly oriented, corresponding to M = 0. As the increasing current in the primary coil causes the external field to increase, the aligned domains grow in size until nearly all magnetic moments are aligned at point a. At this point the iron core is approaching saturation, which is the condition in which all magnetic moments in the iron are aligned. Next, suppose that the current is reduced to zero, and the external field is consequently eliminated. The B-versus-H curve, called a magnetization curve, now follows the path ab in Fig. 5. Note that at point b, B is not zero even though the external field H is zero. The reason is that the iron is now magnetized due to the alignment of a large number of its magnetic moments. At this point, the iron is said to have a remanent magnetization. Shortly after removing the external field we have 2.00 T = µ0 M . In addition, M = xnµB , where n is the number of atoms per volume and x is the number of electrons per atom contributing. Therefore B = µ0 µB xn, yielding 2.00 T x = µ0 B µB n = 8.50×10−28 m−3 ·9.27×10−24 N·m/T·4π×10−7 T·m/A = 2.02. 6. The magnetic moment of the Earth is approximately 8.00 × 1022 A · m2 . (i) If this were caused by the complete magnetization of a huge iron deposit, how many unpaired electrons would this correspond to? (ii) At two unpaired electrons per iron atom, how many kilograms of iron would this correspond to? [Hint: Iron has a density of 7, 900 kg/m3 , and approximately 8.50 × 1028 iron atoms/m3 .] 22 2 8.00×10 A·m 45 Solution (i) Number of unpaired electrons = 9.27×10 −24 A·m2 = 8.63 × 10 . Each iron atom has two unpaired electrons, so the number of iron atoms required is 21 8.63 × 1045 . (ii) Mass = 4.31×1045 atoms·7,900 kg/m3 8.50×1028 atoms/m3 = 4.01 × 1020 kg. 7. Find the magnetic field on the axis at a distance a above a disk of radius R with charge density σ rotating at an angular speed (clockwise when viewed from the point P ). Solution Consider a thin ring between r and r + dr as shown in Fig. 6. The charge per length on the ring is q = σdr and each point on it is moving at a speed v = ω~r, so the current is I = vq = σωrdr. By symmetry, the magnetic field is in the z direction. Using the result from dr) r2 problem 6 of the previous homework, the contribution from the ring is dBz = µ0 (σωr . 2 (r2 +z 2 )3/2 R 3 R The magnetic field for the entire disk is Bz = µ02σω 0 (r2 +zr 2 )3/2 dr. Let u = r2 , so du = 2rdr. This R2 R R2 2(u+2z 2 ) = substitution (dont forget to change limits) gives Bz = µ04σω 0 (u+zu2 )3/2 du = µ04σω (u+z 2 )1/2 0 h 2 2 i µ0 σω R +2z − 2z . 2 (R2 +z 2 )1/2 8. A right-circular solenoid of finite length L and radius a has N turns per unit length and carries a current I. Show that the magnetic induction on the cylinder axis in the limit N L → inf ty is Bz = µ02N I (cos θ1 + cos θ2 ), where the angles are defined in Fig. 7. Solution We start by computing the magnetic field on axis for a single loop of wire carrying a current I shown in Fig. 8. This may be done by an elementary application of the Biot-Savart law. R [d~`×R] R d`R sin α ~ z 0I 0I 0I By symmetry, only the z component contributes Bz = µ4π = µ4π = µ4π 2πa Ra3 = R3 R3 µ0 Ia2 . 2R3 2 0 Ia Substituting in R2 = a2 + z 2 yields Bz = 2(aµ2 +z 2 )3/2 . We now use linear superposition to obtain the field of the solenoid. Defining z1 and z2 as in Fig. 8 (where z1 + z2 = L) we 2 Rz dz have Bz = µ0 N2Ia −z2 1 (a2 +z 2 )3/2 . A simple trig substitution z = a tan α converts this integral to + tan−1 (z2 /a) R + tan−1 (z /a) Bz = µ02N I − tan−1 (z12/a) cos αdα = µ02N I sin α . A bit of geometry then demonstrates −1 − tan that this is equivalent to Bz = µ0 N I 2 (cos θ1 (z1 /a) + cos θ2 ). 9. Two circular coils of radius a, each with N turns, are perpendicular to a common axis. Each coil carries a steady current I in the same direction, as shown in Fig. 9 (i) Find the total magnetic field on the axis Bztot as a function of z, using the midway point as the origin (z = 0). (ii) Show that dBztot dz = 0 at the midpoint. This means that, functionally, at least at that one location, the field is 2 tot Bz not changing. (iii) If the separation b is picked correctly, then d dz = 0 at the midpoint. This 2 configuration is known as Helmholtz coils. Determine the appropriate value of b. (iv) Show that the magnetic field on the axis near the origin, as an expansion in powers of z (up to z 4 inclusive) is given by µ0 N Ia2 3(b2 − a2 )z 2 15(b4 − 6b2 a2 + 2a4 )z 4 Bztot = 1 + + + · · · , d3 2d4 16d8 where d2 = a2 + b2 /4. (v) Show that the magnetic field on the z axis for large |z| is given by the expansion in inverse odd powers of |z| obtained from the small z expansion of part (iv) by the formal substitution d → |z|. (vi) What is the maximum permitted value of |z|/a if the field is to be uniform to one part in 104 (or one part in 102 ) in the Helmholtz configuration? Solution (i) The magnetic field due to a circular hoop of radius a carrying a current I, which 2 0 Ia lies in the x-y plane with its center at the origin, is Bz = 2(z 2µ+a 2 )3/2 . If the coils on the system have N turns, then the field from each coil is just N times larger. The magnetic field from both coils is then given by Bztot = Bz1 + Bz2 ( ) µ0 N Ia2 1 1 = + 2 [a2 + (b/2 + z)2 ]3/2 [a2 + (b/2 − z)2 ]3/2 (1) (ii) The derivative is dBztot 3µ0 N Ia2 = dz 2 It is easy to see that again gives d2 Bztot dz 2 = dBztot dz z=0 3µ0 N Ia2 2 n ( b/2 − z [a2 + (b/2 − z)2 ]5/2 − b/2 + z [a2 + (b/2 + z)2 ]5/2 ) . = 0. This is true regardless of the separation b. (iii) Differentiating o 5(b/2+z)2 5(b/2−z)2 1 1 − + − . 7/2 5/2 7/2 5/2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 [a +(b/2+z) ] [a +(b/2+z) ] [a +(b/2−z) ] [a +(b/2−z) ] At the midpoint, the second derivative becomes ) ( d2 Bztot 3µ0 N Ia2 10b2 /4 2 = − dz 2 z=0 2 [a2 + b2 /4]7/2 [a2 + (b/2)2 ]5/2 # " 2 2 2 2 a + b /4 − 5b /4 = 3µ0 N Ia (a2 + b2 /4)7/2 " # a2 − b2 2 = 3µ0 N Ia . (a2 + b2 /4)7/2 2 B tot z Therefore, the condition d dz = 0 is met if b = a. (iv) All we must do now is to Taylor expand 2 z=0 the terms to order z 4 . Noting that we are seeking an expansion in powers of z/d2 , we may rewrite (1) as Bztot = = = µ0 N Ia2 2 µ0 N Ia2 2d3 µ0 N Ia2 2d3 h i (d2 − bz + z 2 )−3/2 + (d2 + bz + z 2 )−3/2 h i (1 − bζ + d2 ζ 2 )−3/2 + (1 + bζ + d2 ζ 2 )−3/2 n −3/2 −3/2 o 1 − bζ + (a2 + b2 /4)ζ 2 + 1 + bζ + (a2 + b2 /4)ζ 2 , (2) where we have introduced ζ = z/d2 . Expanding this in powers of ζ yields 3 2 15 4 µ0 N Ia2 2 2 2 2 4 4 tot Bz = 1 + (b − a )ζ + (b − 6b a + 2a )ζ + · · · , 2d3 2 16 which is the desired result. The magnetic field along the axis changes very slowly when z is very small. (v) For large |z| we Taylor expand Bztot in inverse powers of z, that is Bztot = o µ0 N Ia2 n −1 2 2 −2 −3/2 −1 2 2 −2 −3/2 1 − bz + (a + b /4)z + 1 + bz + (a + b /4)z . 2|z|3 Comparing this with the last line of (2) shows that the Taylor series is formally equivalent under the substitution ζ → z −1 , which may be accomplished by taking d → |z|. (vi) For b = a the field is of the form µ0 N Ia2 45 a4 z 4 4µ0 N Ia2 144 z 4 tot Bz = 1− + ··· = 1− + ··· . 2d3 16 d8 125 a 53/2 a3 tot 144 z 4 z Taking the (|z|/a)4 term as a small correction, the field non-uniformity is δB Bztot ≈ 125 a . For uniformity to one part in 104 , we find |z|/a < 0.097, while for uniformity to one part in 102 , we instead obtain |z|/a < 0.305. These numbers are actually pretty good because of the fourth power. For example, the first value indicates we can move ≈ ±10% of the distance between the coils while maintaining field uniformity at the level of 0.01%. Helmholtz coils are very useful in the lab for canceling out the Earth’s magnetic field. 10. Let us treat the motion of an electron (charge −e, mass m) in a hydrogen atom classically. Suppose that an electron follows a circular orbit of radius r around a proton. What is the angular ~ perpendicular to the frequency ω0 of the orbital motion? Suppose now that a small magnetic field B plane of the orbit is switched on. Assuming that the radius of the orbit does not change, calculate the shift in the angular frequency ∆ω = ωf − ω0 of the orbital motion in terms of the magnitude B of the magnetic field, charge −e, mass m, and radius r. This is known as the “Zeeman effect.” Solution We first apply Newton’s second law to find the angular frequency ω) of the orbital motion. Coulombs law describes the force acting on the electron due to the electric interaction 1 e2 between the proton and the electron F~elec = − 4π 2 r̂, where r̂ is a unit vector in the plane of 0 r the circular orbit pointing radiallly outward. Because we are assuming the motion is circular the acceleration is ~a = −rω02 r̂. Newtons second law is then − 1 e2 r̂ = −mrω02 r̂. 4π0 r2 (3) We can now solve for the angular frequency ω0 = s e2 . 4π0 mr3 (4) ~ perpendicular to the plane of the orbit is switched on there is When a small magnetic field B ~ Let’s first assume that the magnetic magnetic force acting on the electron F~mag = −e~v × B. force points radially inward and that the radius of the orbit does not change. This will cause the electron to speed up hence increasing the angular frequency to ωf . Choose coordinates as shown in Fig. 10. Assume that the magnetic field points in the positive z-direction. In order to have a radially inward force, we require that the velocity of the electron is ~v = rωf θ̂. ~ = −erωf θ̂ × B k̂ = −erωf Br̂. Therefore Then the magnetic force is given by F~mag = −e~v × B e2 Newton’s second law is now − 4π0 r2 r̂ − erωf Br̂ = −mrωf2 r̂. Using (3) we can rewrite this as −mrω02 r̂ − erωf Br̂ = −mrωf2 r̂ or 0 = ωf2 − eωmf B − ω0 . We can solve this quadratic equation to q 2 2 eB obtain ωf = 2m ± e4mB2 + ω02 . We choose the positive square root to keep ωf > 0. We now rents in the same direction or in opposite dire Find the magnitude of the current. y 6.00 cm θ 16.0° z x Figure P30.20 Figure 1: Problem 1. q 2 2 2 eB substitute (4) into the above equation yielding ωf = 2m + e4mB2 + 4πe0 mr3 . Then the change q q 2 2 2 2 eB in angular frequency is ∆Ω = ωf − ω0 = 2m + e4mB2 + 4πe0 mr3 − 4πe0 mr3 . Suppose we reverse the direction of the magnetic field as shown in Fig. 10. Then the magnetic force points ~ = −erωf θ̂ × −B k̂ = +erωf Br̂, resulting in a smaller angular freoutward, F~mag = −e~v × B quency ωf . Repeating the analysis we just finished we have that −mrω02 r̂ + erωf Br̂ = −mrωf2 r̂ or 0 = ωf2 + eωmf B − ω0 . We can solve this quadratic equation for ωf choosing the positive square q 2 2 eB root to keep ωf > 0, that is ωf = − 2m ± e4mB2 + ω02 . The change in angular frequency is now q q 2 2 2 2 eB ∆Ω = ωf − ω0 = − 2m + e4mB2 + 4πe0 mr3 − 4πe0 mr3 . n 30.3 Ampère’s Law Four long, parallel conductors carry equal curr 5.00 A.
