Magnetic Fields in Matter Problems

This document contains 5 practice problems about magnetic fields in matter: 1) Calculate the torque on a square loop due to a circular loop and determine the equilibrium orientation. 2) Derive the force on an infinitesimal square loop with current using a Taylor expansion of the magnetic field. 3) Find the magnetic field inside and outside an infinitely long circular cylinder with uniform magnetization parallel to its axis. 4) Find the magnetic field due to a cylindrical magnetization that depends on the distance from the axis. 5) Find the magnetic field inside and outside an infinitely long cylinder with "frozen-in" magnetization using both the bound current method and Ampere's law.

ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM I

Homework set #10: Magnetic Fields in Matter I

Problem # 10.1 :
Calculate the torque exerted on the square loop shown in the figure, due to the circular
loop. Assume that r is much larger than a or b. ¢. the 1Jare loop is free to rotate, what
will its equilibrium orientation be?

Problem # 10.2 :
Derive F = 'V'(m · B), assuming the dipole is an infinitesimal square of side E, as shown in
the figure. A current I circulates along the loop. Choose the axes as shown in the figure
and calculate
F =I !(di x B)

along each of the four sides. Expand B in a Taylor series, e.g.

B = B(O, E, z) ~ aBI
B(O, 0, z) + E -
8Y (0,0,z)

Problem # 10.3 :
An infinitely long circular cylinder carries a uniform magnetization M parallel to its axis.
Find the magnetic field (due to M) inside and outside the cylinder.

Problem # 10.4 :
A long circular cylinder of radius R carries a magnetization M = ks 2 (/;, where k is a
constant, s is the distance from the axis, and ¢ is the usual azimuthal unit vector (see
figure). Find the magnetic field due to M, for points inside and outside the cylinder.

Problem # 10.5 :
An infinitely long cylinder of radius R carries a "frozen-in" magnetization, parallel to the
axis,
M = ksz,

where k is a constant and s is the distance from the axis; there is no free current anywhere.
Find the magnetic field inside and outside the cylinder by two different methods:
(a) Locate first all bound currents and then calculate the field they produce.
(b) Use Ampere's law in the form

f H · dl = If enc ,

to find H, and then get B from

H= J:_B-M.

This second method is much faster and avoids any explicit reference to the bound
currents.
