Que 1.9.Explain a point coordinate and all possible surfaces in


vector form in cylindrical coordinate system.
AKTU 2018-19, Marks 07
Answer
1. The cylindrical coordinate systems involve sets of three mutually
orthogonal surfaces.
2. For the cylindrical coordinates system, the three surfaces are a cylinder
and two planes as shown in Fig. 1.9.1.

Fig. 1.9.1.
3. One of these planes is z (constant plane). The second plane contains the
z-axis and makes an angle ¢ with reference plane. This plane is defined
by which is a constant.
The cylindrical surface has the z-axis at its axis. Since the radial
distance
from the z-axis to point on the cylindrical surface is a constant, this
surface is defined by which is equal to constant.
5. Only two of these coordinates (p and z) are distances and the third
coordinates (¢) is an angle. The entire
space is spanned by varying p
from 0 to co, Ùfrom 0 to 21t,
and z from-o to o.

A Stoke's theorem:
1. It states that the circulation of vector field A around a closed path L is

to the surface integral of the curl of A over the open surface S

bounded by L provided A and Vx A are continuous on S.

2. This theorem is only applicable when A and Vx A are continuous on

4. For obtaining the total curl, add the closed line integrals for each AS.
From Fig. 1.27.2, it can be observed that there is a common boundary
between the two incremental surfaces.
5. The line integral is
getting cancelled as the boundary is getting traced in
two opposite directions. All interior boundaries are
cancelled; only outside
boundary cancellation does not exist.

6. Hence, summation of all closed line integrals for each and every AS ends
up in a single closed line integral to be obtained for the outer

Answer
A Polarization: It is defined as the property of electromagnetic radiations
where the relationship between the direction and magnitude of the

vibrating electric field is explained.


B.
1.
Types of polarization:
Dielectric polarization: This type of polarization occurs when a dipole
moment is formed in an insulating material as an external electric field
is applied there is a change in the behaviour which is known as dielectric
polarization.
lonic polarization: When elements like NaCl and KCI contribute to
the relative permittivity, ionic polarization occurs. In this polarization,
the net electric field is zero.
3 Orientational polarization: This occurs due to the permanent dipole
moment in a material. It occurs in elements such as HCl and H20.
C. Polarization in dielectricmedium:
1. The charges in dielectrics are bound by the finite forces and hence called
bound charges.

2 The process due to which separation of bound charges results to produce


electric dipoles, under the infuence of electric field, is called polarization
of dielectric.

3. When electric field E is applied, the symmetrical distribution of charges

gets disturbed. The charges experience a force F = QE


4. So, there is separation between the nucleus and the centre of the
electron cloud. Such an atom is called polarized atom.

2 Let the plane, exists midway between the two charges, is a zero potential
infinite plane. The conductor is an equipotential surface at a potential

V= 0 and E is only normal to the surface.


. If there is a charge above a conducting plane same fields at the points
above the plane can be obtained by replacing conducting plane by
equipotential surface and an image of the charge at a symmetrical location
below the plane.
4. To apply the method ofimages, following conditions must be satisfied:
i The image charges must be located in the conducting region.
ii. The large image charges must be located such that on the conducting
surface the potential is zero or constant.
Here, the first condition is to satisfy Poisson's equation, while the other
to satisfy the boundary conditions.

Que 3.1.What is magnetostatic field ?
Answer
1. A
magnetostatic field is produced by a constant current flow (or direct
current).
2. This current flow may be due to
magnetization currents as in permanent
magnets, electron beam currents as in vacuum tubes, or conduction
currents as in
current-carrying wires.
3. There are two major laws
governing magnetostatic fields:
i. Biot-Savart's law
ii. Ampere's circuit law.
Que 3.2.State and explain the Biot-Savart's law.
Answer
1. Biot-Savart's law states that the differential

u,(t = 0) = 0 > 0 =0+B or B=0
u t = 0) = 3 3 =C
3. Substituting the values of A, B and C into eq. (4.3.1) to (4.3.3) give
u(t) = (u,, u,, u,) = (18t +4, 15t, 3)

Answer
A Magnetic torque:

1 The torque T on the loop is the vector product of the force F and the

moment arm r.

ie, T rx F
2 Let us consider a rectangular loop lies in xy-plane as shown in Fig. 4.4.1.
The dimensions of this loop are sides AB = DC = dx and sides
AD = BC = dy.

3. The value of magnetic field at the centre 'O' ofloop is given as B,. Since,
the loop of differential size, so the value of magnetic fields at all points

can be assumed as B,. Therefore, there will be no force on the loop.

F

8. If the forces F and F, on side AD and BC are applied then torques on
their sides can also be calculated in similar way.

dipole moment is perpendicular to the loop. It is given as

where, I= Current
S= Area of loop

2. The eq. (4.4.1) can be written for small area as

3. In terms of magnetic dipole moment, the torque is given as

dT = dm xB
As we assumed earlier that for small loop the magnetic field will be
constant throughout the loop.

Long Answer Type and Medium Answer Type Questions

Que 4.6. What is magnetic susceptibility ? What is


magnetization ?

Answer
M»gnetic susceptibility:
In the magnetic materials, the magnetic dipoles are present corresponding
to the atoms. These magnetic dipoles are assumed to be oriented
randomly at rest (initially).
The electron by spinning about its own axis creates a magmetic field and
magnetic dipole moments are also created by the electron orbiting about
the positive nucleus.
When the external magnetic field is applied to the material, the magmetic
dipoles inside the materialare re-oriented according to the direction of
applied external magnetic field.
The application of external magnetic field affects the velocities of the
orbiting electrons. Thus, a small magnetic moment for the atom is created
that according to Lenz's law will oppose the applied magnetic field.
5. The measurement of this re-orientation is called magnetic susceptibility.
This is denoted by the symbolx

Diamagnetie : When a diamagnetic material is placed in a magnetic


field, it becomes weakly magnetized in a direction opposite to the
direction of external magnetic field. This property of material is known
as diamagnetism.

magnetic dipoles are already present.
These materials permanently magnetized but dipoles are randomly

3 As we know, the divergence of the curl of a vector is zero, so V J is
also zero. However, the equation of continuity is
#0 ...5.2.3)
ot
As eq. (5.2.2) and (5.2.3) are
incompatible for time-varying condition,
thus we modify eq. (5.2.1) to agree with eq. (5.2.3) by addinga term to
eq. (5.2.1)

1.e.,
VxH J+ Ja ..(5.2.4)
where, J, is to be determined and defined.
