PHYS 4231 Homework 11 ANSWERS

April 23, 2008


Graded problems: 1. (6.7) An innitely long cylinder carries a uniform magnetization M parallel to its axis. Find the magnetic eld
(due to M) inside and outside the cylinder.

This problem is pre H-eld, so we solve it by looking at the surface and volume currents. Jb = M = 0, since the magnetization is uniform, so that leaves Kb = M n = M0 = M0 , z s using spherical coordinates. This is exactly the current one would expect for an innite solenoid, with M0 = nI. The eld is therefore B = 0 M0 inside, and zero outside. z 2. (6.12) An innitely long cylinder, of radius R, carries a frozen-in magnetization parallel to the axis,
M = ks, z where k is a constant and s is the distance from the axis; there is no free current anywhere. Find the magnetic eld inside and outside the cylinder by two dierent methods: (a) Locate all the bound currents, and calculate the eld they produce. (b) Use Amperes law (6.20) to nd H, and then get B from Eq. 6.18.

For the rst part, we note that Kb = M = kR, similar to the previous problem. We also note s Using an Amperian loop whose inner surface is a distance s from the center that Jb = M = k . of the cylinder, we nd that the eld due to the volume distribution is B = 0 k(R s), while the z eld due to the surface current is B = 0 kR. The total eld inside is therefore B = 0 ks. z z Because there is no free current, H = 0. Using B = 0 H + 0 M, we immediately nd that B = 0 ks. z 3. (6.16) A coaxial cable consists of two very long cylindrical tubes, separated by linear insulating material of
magnetic susceptibility m . A current I ows down the inner conductor and returns along the outer one; in case case the current distributes itself uniformly over the surface (Fig. 6.24). Find the magnetic eld in the region between the tubes.

We can easily calculate the H-eld using Amperes law. Assuming the current on the inner conductor propagates along the + direction, z I H= 2s 1

for points between the two surfaces, and zero in other regions. Since B = H = 0 (1 + m )H for linear materials, we have I B = 0 (1 + m ) , 2s in the region between the surfaces. 4. (6.17) A current I ows down a long straight wire of radius a. If the wire is made of linear material (copper,
say, or aluminum) with susceptibility m , and the current is distributed uniformly, what is the magnetic eld a distance s from the axis? Find all the bound currents. What is the net bound current owing down the wire?

Using Amperes law for H, we readily nd that H = Is/(2a2 ). The magnetic eld is therefore B = Is/(2a2 ), where = 0 (1 + m ). To nd the bound currents, we need to nd M rst, which we can do using B = 0 H + 0 M. Using our expressions for B and H, we have M= 1 0 Is Is = m . 2a2 2a2 M and Kb = M , s

Now we can calculate the bound currents using Jb = Jb = m

I , z a2

I . z 2a If we integrate the former over the surface area of the wire, and the latter over the perimeter of the wire, we nd that the net bound current is zero. BKb = m
