Lesson #29: Biot-Savart Law
Name:
Study section 5.1-5.2, especially examples 5.5 and 5.6, then answer the following questions. Express your answers in terms of the given parameters and fundamental constants.
A phonograph record (radius R ) carries a uniform charge density sigma . It rotates at angular velocity omega in a direction that is ccw for an observer looking down on the record from point P.
The spinning disk of charge constitutes a surface current; write down an expression for the surface current density in terms of given parameters:
Sketch and label the vector K, the surface current density, for two different points on the disk.
The spinning disk will create a magnetic field; sketch and label a few field lines on the figure above.
Does your sketch show that grad*B=0 ? Explain how your sketch satisfies this equation.
Write down an expression for the magnetic field, B, in terms of K and xi , the separation vector:
Sketch the vectors r,r^(') and n on the figure to the right.
Plug in expressions for K and n to solve for the magnetic field at Point P. Set up and completely specify the integral that needs to be solved; you don't need to evaluate it.
