Write down the form of Ohm's Law that applies to a conductor if at a point r it is moving with velocity v(r).
Use two of Maxwell's equations to prove that
∫C(E+v∧B)⋅dr=−dtd∫SB⋅dS
where C(t) is a moving closed loop, v is the velocity at the point r on C, and S is a surface spanning C. The time derivative on the right hand side accounts for changes in both C and B. Explain briefly the physical importance of this result.
Find and sketch the magnetic field B described in the vector potential
A(r,θ,z)=(0,21brz,0)
in cylindrical polar coordinates (r,θ,z), where b>0 is constant.
A conducting circular loop of radius a and resistance R lies in the plane z=h(t) with its centre on the z-axis.
Find the magnitude and direction of the current induced in the loop as h(t) changes with time, neglecting self-inductance.
At time t=0 the loop is at rest at z=0. For time t>0 the loop moves with constant velocity dh/dt=v>0. Ignoring the inertia of the loop, use energy considerations to find the force F(t) necessary to maintain this motion.
