Magnetic fields within a sunspot can be as strong as 0.4 T. (By comparison, the earth’s magnetic field is about 1/10,000 as strong.) Sunspots can be as large as 25,000 km in radius. The material in a sunspot has a density of about 3 x 10-4 kg/m3 . Assume m for the sunspot material is µ0. If 100% of the magneticfield energy stored in a sunspot could be used to eject the sunspot’s material away from the sun’s surface, at what speed would that material be ejected? Compare to the sun’s escape speed, which is about 6 x 105 m/s.

Calculate the electric current density J produced by the magnetic force. Hint: first compute the force per unit charge, F/q, and then use the relationship J = σ(F/q). b) Derive the equation of motion of a cylindrical differential volume element of base area δA and height δh parallelto the direction of J. Assume that seawater has a known volumetric mass density ρ. Show that this equation implies that the velocity satisfies the following differential equation:dvy/dt = vy/τwhere τ is a constant that you should write in terms of B, σ, and ρ.
