Question
4. A long line charge A (charge per unit length) is located at axis of a toroidal coil of rectangular
cross section, as shown in Fig. 4. The inner radius of the coil is a, outer radius a + w, and height
h, which carries a total of N tightly-wound turns and current I.
(a) Find the electromagnetic momentum p of this configuration.
Figure 4
(b) Now the current in the toroid is turned off, quickly enough that the line charge does not move
appreciably as the magnetic field drops to zero. Find the induced electric field at the center of the
toroid. Here, you can assume that w and h are both much less than a.
Hint: to find the induced electric field exploit the analogy between Faraday (induced) electric fields and
magnetostatic fields of a circular current loop.
