Problems 4 due Feb. 25: Problem 9.21,9.23 (a),9.25 ; plus

 

1) A conducting material can be heated by induction heating by exposing it to a time varying magnetic field. Suppose a good conductor (with skin depth delta) is exposed to a magnetic field which has a component tangential to the surface given by B=Bo exp (-iwt). The surface lies in the xy plane, and B is in the y direction.

a) Using the boundary conditions on B, find B(z,t)  inside the material.

b) This B will cause an electromagnetic wave to propagate into the material. Using the form of this wave developed in class, calculate the Poynting vector into the surface, evaluated just at the surface.

c) Using the value of E for this wave, and j=sigma*E, find the surface current flowing in the conductor. By integrating over z, find the current per unit length flowing in the surface of the conductor (this extends roughly over the skin depth of the conductor). Make a clear sketch to show that you understand the geometry and which way the surface current flows.

d) Using the boundary condition on tangential B which applies if there is a surface current (extending over a thickness of several skin depths), show that the current found in (c) is just enough to kill the incident B.

e) Calculate the ohmic heating in the surface by integrating j dot E over the volume of the material, and show that it agrees with the answer to (b).

f) Calculate the numerical value of the skin depth for Cu at 60 Hz. How large a piece of Cu would you expect to be able to heat this way?

 

2) An electromagnetic wave at 1 kHz is sent OUT of sea water (conductivity 5/ohm-m) in normal incidence into air.

a) Show that sea water is a good conductor at this frequency and find the skin depth.

b) Write the form of the incident, reflected and transmitted waves. Assume the wave is sent in the positive z direction and is polarized in the x direction. Describe the nature of each wave: damped, traveling, etc.

c) Find the ratio of the strength of the electric field of the incident wave just below the surface to that of the transmitted wave just above the surface, to first order in the skin depth.

d) What fraction of the power reaching the surface is transmitted through the surface?

1) For the coaxial cable discussed in class, show that the surface currents and surface charges on the inner conductor, derived from the expressions for E and B in the cable, satisfy charge conservation.

Problems 7 due Mar. 28, 2008: 11.10 plus

 

1)  A charge q moves at omega around a circle of radius A in the xy plane. Do the following for an arbitrary point x (on the x axis, y=z=0) and z (on the z axis, x=y=0). Assume that x and z are very much larger than A and that the velocity of the charge is very much less than the speed of light. Using the expression that E is the retarded transverse acceleration  divided by R (times some constants),

a) Find E at both locations. Show that your answer agrees with your answer to problem 10.20.

b) Find S.

c) Find the total power radiated by the charge.  (Hint: you can consider the charge as executing two independent oscillations, one along x and one along y and just add the powers).

d) Use this expression to calculate the expected lifetime of an electron in the first Bohr orbit of a Hydrogen atom.

 

2) When a charged particle (of mass m and velocity v) passes rapidly by the nucleus of an atom, it feels a force which accelerates it and thus causes it to radiate. To calculate the power radiated requires finding the resulting electric field E  and integrating S over the time it takes to pass, and over the angular distribution of the radiation. This is messy, but a good estimate can be made using the following approximations: 1) That the acceleration is constant and approximately that which the particle feels at its closest distance (b) to the nucleus;(2) That the duration of the “pulse” of radiation is 2b/v, where v is the velocity of the particle. Assume that v travels in a nearly straight line. Using this model, and assuming the observer is far from the nucleus, and v is non-relativistic,

a) Find E as a function of theta, where theta is the angle between the acceleration vector and the observation point.

b) Find S at this point.

c) Integrate S over the angle and over the pulse duration to find the total energy radiated.

d) At what distance b would a 20 keV electron have to pass to a Cu nucleus (Z=29) to radiate an energy equal to 1 percent of its total energy? 

 

***********

Problems 8 due April 4, 2008: 11.3, 11.6, 11.11, 11.22, 11.25, plus:

1. For the case of a M1 radiator,

a) Work out E and B from the expression for A given in class.

b) Work out the total power radiated.

c) Show that the ratio of the total power radiated by an M1 radiator to that of an E1 radiator carrying the same peak current and of the same physical size (d of E1 oscillator equal to a of M1 oscillator) is given by (kd)^2

(eq. 11.42). Which radiator is likely to be more efficient in practical cases?

 

2. Consider two antennae. One is a magnetic dipole made of a single loop 10 cm in diameter, and the other is an electric dipole 10 cm long. Answer each of the following questions for 10 khz and for 100 Mhz:

a) Radiators: What rms current is required for each antenna to radiate 1 kwatt?

b) Receivers: What rms voltage will be developed in each in the presence of an electromagnetic wave in air carrying a power of one milliwatt per square meter? (optimize the alignment of each antenna).
