(i) Given the electric field (in cartesian components)
E(r,t)=(0,x/t2,0)
use the Maxwell equation
∇×E=−∂t∂B
to find B subject to the boundary condition that ∣B∣→0 as t→∞.
Let S be the planar rectangular surface in the xy-plane with corners at
(0,0,0),(L,0,0),(L,a,0),(0,a,0)
where a is a constant and L=L(t) is some function of time. The magnetic flux through S is given by the surface integral
Φ=∫SB⋅dS
Compute Φ as a function of t.
Let C be the closed rectangular curve that bounds the surface S, taken anticlockwise in the xy-plane, and let v be its velocity (which depends, in this case, on the segment of C being considered). Compute the line integral
∮C(E+v×B)⋅dr
Hence verify that
∮C(E+v×B)⋅dr=−dtdΦ
(ii) A surface S is bounded by a time-dependent closed curve C(t) such that in time δt it sweeps out a volume δV. By considering the volume integral
∫δV∇⋅Bdτ
and using the divergence theorem, show that the Maxwell equation ∇⋅B=0 implies that
dtdΦ=∫S∂t∂B⋅dS−∮C(v×B)⋅dr
where Φ is the magnetic flux through S as given in Part (i). Hence show, using (1) and Stokes' theorem, that (2) is a consequence of Maxwell's equations.
