Assignment 5

This document contains an assignment on electromagnetism from the Department of Physics at IIT Kharagpur. The assignment contains 5 questions with multiple parts each. Question 1 deals with calculating current density inside a wire and magnetic field inside and outside a cylindrical conductor. Question 2 covers magnetic dipole moment of a rotating wire and magnetic scalar potential. Question 3 is about the magnetic field due to a magnetic moment and induced current in a loop from an approaching magnet. Questions 4 and 5 contain additional problems involving bound current densities, magnetization, Maxwell's equations, and electromagnetic waves.
