Chapter 27 Problem 27.71

Question

Using Gauss’s Law for Magnetism. In a certain region of space, the magnetic field is not uniform. The magnetic field \(\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{B}}\) has both a \(\text { z-component }\) and a component that points radially away from or toward the \(z \text {-axis. }\) The \(\text { z-component }\) is given by \(B_{z}(z)=\beta z\), where \(\beta\) is a positive constant. The radial component \(B_{r}\) depends only on r, the radial distance from the z-axis.

(a) Use Gauss’s law for magnetism, Eq. (27.8), to find the radial component \(B_{r}\) as a function of r. (Hint: Try a cylindrical Gaussian surface of radius concentric with the \(z \text {-axis. }\), with one end at z = 0 and the other at z = L.)

(b) Sketch the magnetic field lines.

Solution

Step 1 of 7 

We have to first calculate the radial component of magnetic field as a function of the .

Then we have to sketch the magnetic field vectors.
