1. Ampere’s Law (10 points). A solid cylinder with radius a is coaxial
with a tube with inner radius b and outer radius c. The central cylinder
and tube carry equal currents I in opposite directions. The currents are
distributed uniformly over the cross sections of each object.
Derive an expression for the magnitude of the magnetic field
(a) inside the central cylinder (i.e., r < a)
(b) outside the central cylinder but inside the tube (i.e., a < r < b)
(c) within the body of the tube (i.e., b < r c).

2. Inductance and Biot-Savart (10 points). A small circular metal ring
of radius r is concentric with a large circular metal ring of radius 10r.
Current in the outer ring flows counterclockwise due to an unpictured
power supply. By adjusting the power supply, you can adjust I, the
current in the large ring. The graph below shows I(t). Notice that I
increases linearly from I0 to 2I0 from time t = 0 to time t = T.
(a). On the same graph, sketch a qualitative graph of the magnitude of
the current in the small ring as a function of time. You don’t have to get
the magnitude on the current axis exactly right, but you do need to get
the overall shape, the zero level, and the timing correct.
(b). On the circular diagram, indicate the direction of the induced
current flowing in the smaller ring. In a sentence or two, justify your
reasoning. An arrow indicating the direction but without any reasoning
will get no credit.
(c). Using the Biot-Savart rule, find the magnetic field B (magnitude and
direction) due to the current in the large ring at the center of the small
ring when the current in the large ring is 1.5 I0. The direction can be
described by words such as “into the page”, “out of the
page”, “in the plane of the page”, etc.
(d). When the current in the large ring is 1.5 I0, what is the current in the
small ring? Answer in terms of R (the total resistance of the small ring),
r, I0, T, and any relevant universal constants. You can regard the B field
can be taken as uniform over the area of the small ring, and you can
neglect the small ring’s self-inductance.

4. Magnetic Moment (10 points). Consider a non-conducting disc or
radius R and uniform surface charge density . The disc rotates with an
angular velocity .
(a). Calculate the magnetic moment vector μ in terms of .
(b). Recall from all the way back to last semester that τ = Iα and that
α = dω/dt. If the mass of the disc is M0, what is the magnitude of the
constant torque necessary to bring this disc to a stop in a time T?
(c). What is the external magnetic field Bext, if any, that can bring about
the torque from part (b)? Explain your reasoning…an answer without an
explanation will get zero credit.

5. Faraday’s Law (10 points). A loop of wire with a 4.00 cm diameter

6. Motional EMF (10 points). Consider a straight metal rod of length 2l
that is rotating about its midpoint in a plane that is perpendicular to a
uniform magnetic field, B, as shown in the left figure. The rod is rotating
with an angular velocity of ω.
(a) What is the induced emf ε between the midpoint of the rod and each
end of the rod. What is the induced emf ε between the two ends?
(b) If we hook up this rotating rod as shown on the right, with an
electrode connected to the middle and another electrode connected to a
ring track that maintains constant electrical contact with both ends of
the rod, what is the current passing through the resistor R.
(c) Instead of a rotating rod, consider a solid rotating metal disc of
radius l and angular frequency rotating in a uniform magnetic field B.
If we hook up this disc as in (b), what is the current through the
resistor? This type of current source is called a homopolar generator.

8. Cyclotron (10 points). A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator. These highenergy particles are also used in nuclear research and in hospitals to obtain radioactive
preparations for medical and diagnostic purposes. The cyclotron is made up of two
semi-cylinder’s conductors that are opened on the straight side. These D-shaped
conductors are made of a non-ferromagnetic material (e.g. , copper) and are called
“dees”. The “dees” are placed in a homogenous magnetic field with a magnetic field that
is perpendicular to the conductors, as shown in the figure. If an alternating voltage is
applied to the dee conductors, and a charged particle enters near the center of the
cyclotron (i.e., at point Z in ithe figure), it is accelerated and gains a velocity that runs
perpendicular to the magnetic field inside of one of the dees.
As we have seen, a magnetic field forces the particles to travel in a circular path.
However, the voltage between the “dees” linearly accelerates the charged particles as
they cross the gap, increasing their kinetic energy. This effect increases the radius of the
circle and so the path is spiral. The high-speed particles exit the cyclotron in the
moment when the radius of the path reaches the radius of the cyclotron.
.
Consider when deuterons, the nucleii of heavy hydrogen, are accelerated in a
cyclotron. You can assume that they start with essentially no kinetic energy and that
everything stays non-relativistic.
(a) Determine the frequency of the voltage source if the value of magnetic field
strength in the cyclotron is 1.5 T and the mass of a deuteron is 3.3 x 10-27 kg.
(b) Determine the necessary cyclotron radius if we want the deuterons to exit the
cyclotron with a kinetic energy of 16 MeV (1 eV = 1.602 x 10-19 Joules). What speed
in meters/second does that kinetic energy represent?
(c) How many times does the deuteron cross between the “dees”, if the voltage
between them is 50 kV?
