  • Magnetic Polarizability of a Short Right Circular Conducting Cylinder 1
    Journal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards-B. Mathematics and Mathematical Physics Vol. 64B, No.4, October- December 1960 Magnetic Polarizability of a Short Right Circular Conducting Cylinder 1 T. T. Taylor 2 (August 1, 1960) The magnetic polarizability tensor of a short righ t circular conducting cylinder is calcu­ lated in the principal axes system wit h a un iform quasi-static but nonpenetrating a pplied fi eld. On e of the two distinct tensor components is derived from res ults alread y obtained in co nnection wi th the electric polarizabili ty of short conducting cylinders. The other is calcu­ lated to an accuracy of four to five significan t fi gures for cylinders with radius to half-length ratios of }~, }~, 1, 2, a nd 4. These results, when combin ed with t he corresponding results for the electric polari zability, are a pplicable to t he proble m of calculating scattering from cylin­ cl ers and to the des ign of artifi c;al dispersive media. 1. Introduction This ar ticle considers the problem of finding the mftgnetie polariz ability tensor {3ij of a short, that is, noninfinite in length, righ t circular conducting cylinder under the assumption of negli gible field penetration. The latter condition can be realized easily with avail able con­ ductin g materials and fi elds which, although time varying, have wavelengths long compared with cylinder dimensions and can therefore be regftrded as quasi-static. T he approach of the present ar ticle is parallel to that employed earlier [1] 3 by the author fo r fin ding the electric polarizability of shor t co nductin g cylinders.

  • PH585: Magnetic Dipoles and So Forth
    PH585: Magnetic dipoles and so forth 1 Magnetic Moments Magnetic moments ~µ are analogous to dipole moments ~p in electrostatics. There are two sorts of magnetic dipoles we will consider: a dipole consisting of two magnetic charges p separated by a distance d (a true dipole), and a current loop of area A (an approximate dipole). N p d -p I S Figure 1: (left) A magnetic dipole, consisting of two magnetic charges p separated by a distance d. The dipole moment is |~µ| = pd. (right) An approximate magnetic dipole, consisting of a loop with current I and area A. The dipole moment is |~µ| = IA. In the case of two separated magnetic charges, the dipole moment is trivially calculated by comparison with an electric dipole – substitute ~µ for ~p and p for q.i In the case of the current loop, a bit more work is required to find the moment. We will come to this shortly, for now we just quote the result ~µ=IA nˆ, where nˆ is a unit vector normal to the surface of the loop. 2 An Electrostatics Refresher In order to appreciate the magnetic dipole, we should remind ourselves first how one arrives at the field for an electric dipole. Recall Maxwell’s first equation (in the absence of polarization density): ρ ∇~ · E~ = (1) r0 If we assume that the fields are static, we can also write: ∂B~ ∇~ × E~ = − (2) ∂t This means, as you discovered in your last homework, that E~ can be written as the gradient of a scalar function ϕ, the electric potential: E~ = −∇~ ϕ (3) This lets us rewrite Eq.

  • Einstein and the Early Theory of Superconductivity, 1919–1922
    Einstein and the Early Theory of Superconductivity, 1919–1922 Tilman Sauer Einstein Papers Project California Institute of Technology 20-7 Pasadena, CA 91125, USA [email protected] Abstract Einstein’s early thoughts about superconductivity are discussed as a case study of how theoretical physics reacts to experimental find- ings that are incompatible with established theoretical notions. One such notion that is discussed is the model of electric conductivity implied by Drude’s electron theory of metals, and the derivation of the Wiedemann-Franz law within this framework. After summarizing the experimental knowledge on superconductivity around 1920, the topic is then discussed both on a phenomenological level in terms of implications of Maxwell’s equations for the case of infinite conduc- tivity, and on a microscopic level in terms of suggested models for superconductive charge transport. Analyzing Einstein’s manuscripts and correspondence as well as his own 1922 paper on the subject, it is shown that Einstein had a sustained interest in superconductivity and was well informed about the phenomenon. It is argued that his appointment as special professor in Leiden in 1920 was motivated to a considerable extent by his perception as a leading theoretician of quantum theory and condensed matter physics and the hope that he would contribute to the theoretical direction of the experiments done at Kamerlingh Onnes’ cryogenic laboratory. Einstein tried to live up to these expectations by proposing at least three experiments on the arXiv:physics/0612159v1 [physics.hist-ph] 15 Dec 2006 phenomenon, one of which was carried out twice in Leiden. Com- pared to other theoretical proposals at the time, the prominent role of quantum concepts was characteristic of Einstein’s understanding of the phenomenon.

Background reading: Fowler §3.1 & 7.9.2, Lowrie §5.2 & 5.4 GEOPHYSICS (08/430/0012) MAGNETIC FORCES Magnetic forces are forces associated with the motion of electric charges, either as electric currents in conductors or, in the case of magnetic materials, as the orbital and spin motions of electrons in atoms. Although the concept of a magnetic pole is sometimes useful, it is diácult to relate precisely to observation; for example, all attempts to find a magnetic monopole have failed, and the model of permanent magnets as magnetic dipoles with north and south poles is not particularly accurate. Consequently moving charges are normally regarded as fundamental in magnetism. Basic observations 1. Permanent magnets A magnet attracts iron and steel, the attraction being most marked close to its ends.

  • A Brief History of Mangnetism
    A Brief history of mangnetism Navinder Singh∗ and Arun M. Jayannavar∗∗ ∗Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad, India, Pin: 380009. ∗∗ IOP, Bhubaneswar, India. ∗† Abstract In this article an overview of the historical development of the key ideas in the field of magnetism is presented. The presentation is semi-technical in nature.Starting by noting down important contribution of Greeks, William Gilbert, Coulomb, Poisson, Oersted, Ampere, Faraday, Maxwell, and Pierre Curie, we review early 20th century investigations by Paul Langevin and Pierre Weiss. The Langevin theory of paramagnetism and the Weiss theory of ferromagnetism were partly successful and real understanding of magnetism came with the advent of quantum mechanics. Van Vleck was the pioneer in applying quantum mechanics to the problem of magnetism and we discuss his main contributions: (1) his detailed quantum statistical mechanical study of magnetism of real gases; (2) his pointing out the importance of the crystal fields or ligand fields in the magnetic behavior of iron group salts (the ligand field theory); and (3) his many contributions to the elucidation of exchange interactions in d electron metals. Next, the pioneering contributions (but lesser known) of Dorfman are discussed. Then, in chronological order, the key contributions of Pauli, Heisenberg, and Landau are presented. Finally, we discuss a modern topic of quantum spin liquids. 1 Prologue In this presentation, the development of the conceptual structure of the field is highlighted, and the historical context is somewhat limited in scope. In that way, the presentation is not historically very rigorous. However, it may be useful for gaining a ”bird’s-eye view” of the vast field of magnetism.

  • Class 35: Magnetic Moments and Intrinsic Spin
    Class 35: Magnetic moments and intrinsic spin A small current loop produces a dipole magnetic field. The dipole moment, m, of the current loop is a vector with direction perpendicular to the plane of the loop and magnitude equal to the product of the area of the loop, A, and the current, I, i.e. m = AI . A magnetic dipole placed in a magnetic field, B, τ experiences a torque =m × B , which tends to align an initially stationary N dipole with the field, as shown in the figure on the right, where the dipole is represented as a bar magnetic with North and South poles. The work done by the torque in turning through a small angle dθ (> 0) is θ dW==−τθ dmBsin θθ d = mB d ( cos θ ) . (35.1) S Because the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy, by applying conservation of mechanical energy, we see that the potential energy of a dipole in a magnetic field is V =−mBcosθ =−⋅ mB , (35.2) where the zero point is taken to be when the direction of the dipole is orthogonal to the magnetic field. The minimum potential occurs when the dipole is aligned with the magnetic field. An electron of mass me moving in a circle of radius r with speed v is equivalent to current loop where the current is the electron charge divided by the period of the motion. The magnetic moment has magnitude π r2 e1 1 e m = =rve = L , (35.3) 2π r v 2 2 m e where L is the magnitude of the angular momentum.
