Problem 5.3:
A square conductive loop of side 10.0 cm is centered in the x-y plane. It carries 10.0 mA current
clockwise when viewed from the +az direction. Find H(0, 0, 10cm).

We find H for one section of the square

With a = RaR, we have
R = -5ax + 10az, |R| = 11.18x10-2 m
aR = -0.447ax + 0.894az,
a = -ay x aR = -0.894 ax – 0.447 az

Now by symmetry the total H contains only the az component:


HTOT = -10.4az mA/m

Problem 5.4:
A 4.0 cm wide ribbon of current is centered about the y-axis on the x-y plane and has a surface
current density K = 2 ay A/m. Determine the magnetic field intensity at the point (a) P(0, 0,
2cm), (b) Q(2cm, 2cm, 2cm).

This is separated into 3 integrals, each
one solved via numerical integration,
resulting in:
H=1.1083ax +0.3032az – 1.1083az; or
H = 1.1ax – 0.80az A/m

Problem 5.5:
An infinite extent current sheet with K = 6.0 ay A/m exists at z = 0. A conductive loop of
radius 1.0 m, in the y-z plane centered at z = 2.0 m, has zero magnetic field intensity
measured at its center. Determine the magnitude of the current in the loop and show its
direction with a sketch.

(sign is chosen opposite HS).
So, I/2 = 3 and I = 6A.
Problem 5.6:
Given a 3.0 mm radius solid wire centered on the z-axis with an evenly distributed 2.0 amps
of current in the +az direction, plot the magnetic field intensity H versus radial distance from
the z-axis over the range 0 ≤  ≤ 9 mm.

Figure 5.6 shows the situation along with the Amperian Paths. We have:
 HdL  I enc , where H  H  a and dL   d a ;  2 H  I enc
This will be true for each Amperian path.

Problem 5.7:
Suppose H = y2ax + x2ay A/m.
a. Calculate  HdL around the path A  B  C  D  A , where A(2m,0,0),
B(2m,4m,0), C(0,4m,0) and D(0,0,0).
b. Divide this  HdL by the area S (2m*4m = 8m2).
c. Evaluate   H at the center point.
d. Comment on your results for (b) & (c).

So we have  HdL  16C Fig. 5.7
