Homework No. 06 (Spring 2015) PHYS 420: Electricity and Magnetism II Due date: Monday, 2015 Mar 30, 4.30pm 1. (30 points.) Motion of a charged particle of mass m and charge q in a uniform magnetic field B is governed by dv m = q v × B. (1) dt Choose B along the z-axis and solve this vector differential equation to determine the position x(t) and velocity v(t) of the particle as a function of time, for initial conditions x(0) = 0 î + 0 ĵ + 0 k̂, v(0) = 0 î + v0 ĵ + 0 k̂. (2a) (2b) Verify that the solution describes a circle with center at position R î. 2. (20 points.) The vector potential for a straight wire of infinite extent carrying a steady current I is µ0 I 2L ln , (3) A(r) = ẑ 2π ρ with L → ∞ understood in the equation. The magnetic field around the wire is given by B(r) = φ̂ µ0 I . 2πρ (4) (a) I leave the derivation of the above vector potential as an optional exercise, with bonus points worth 50 points that could be used towards another homework. (b) Using an appropriate diagram describe the above vector potential and the magnetic field. (c) Evaluate ∇ × A. 1
