A sheet of copper is placed between the poles of an electromagnet with the magnetic field perpendicular to the sheet. When the sheet is pulled out, a considerable force is required, and the force required increases with speed. Explain. Is a force required also when the sheet is inserted between the poles? Explain.

Question
At temperatures near absolute zero, \(B_{\mathrm{c}}\) approaches 0.142 T for vanadium, a type-I superconductor. The normal phase of vanadium has a magnetic susceptibility close to zero. Consider a long, thin vanadium cylinder with its axis parallel to an external magnetic field \(\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{B}}_0\) in the +x-direction. At points far from the ends of the cylinder, by symmetry, all the magnetic vectors are parallel to the x-axis. At temperatures near absolute zero, what are the resultant magnetic field \(\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{B}}\) and the magnetization \(\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{M}}\) inside and outside the cylinder (far from the ends) for (a) \(\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{B}}_0=(0.130 \mathrm{~T}) \hat{i}\) and (b) \(\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{B}}_0=(0.260 \mathrm{~T}) \hat{\boldsymbol{i}}\) ?
Solution
The first step in solving 29 problem number 66 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: At temperatures near absolute zero, \(B_{\mathrm{c}}\) approaches 0.142 T for vanadium, a type-I superconductor. The normal phase of vanadium has a magnetic susceptibility close to zero. Consider a long, thin vanadium cylinder with its axis parallel to an external magnetic field \(\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{B}}_0\) in the +x-direction. At points far from the ends of the cylinder, by symmetry, all the magnetic vectors are parallel to the x-axis. At temperatures near absolute zero, what are the resultant magnetic field \(\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{B}}\) and the magnetization \(\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{M}}\) inside and outside the cylinder (far from the ends) for (a) \(\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{B}}_0=(0.130 \mathrm{~T}) \hat{i}\) and (b) \(\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{B}}_0=(0.260 \mathrm{~T}) \hat{\boldsymbol{i}}\) ?
