PHY 121

Electromagnetic Theory
Problem Set - 5

Assigned Date: Mar 21


Due Date: Mar 25

This problem set is due at 5 : 00 PM on Mar 25. Do not consult any online material. Working
with your classmates is encouraged! But you should only hand in work that youve completed on
your own. If you cant explain each step of your solution then you havent completed the problem
on your own. Remember: the only way to be ready for the exams is to do the assignment yourself.
1. (10 points) Consider a toroid that consists of N turns, with inner radius a and outer radius b.
Find the magnetic field everywhere.
2. (10 points) Let a magnetic dipole moment vector
~ = z k be placed at the origin in the yz
plane. Find the magnetic field at a point a distance r away from the origin.
3. (10 points) Consider two solenoids (each of N -turns) of radius R, each perpendicular to the axis
of symmetry, with their centers located at z = l/2. There is a steady current I in the same
direction around each coil. Find the magnetic field at a distance z from the centre of the coil.
What happens if the current flow in the coils are in opposite directions?

4. (10 points) An infinitely long current-carrying wire is bent into a hairpin-like shape shown. Find
the magnetic field at the point P that lies at the center of the half-circle.
