Selected Problems in Electricity and Magnetism

Answers to Mid-term exam 2

1. If an electron moving along x direction facing an electric field along y direction,
and a magnetic field along z direction,
, if the speed of the electron is
, what is the total force (in unit of N) applied to the electron? (30%)

Hint: electron charge



Solution:




2. A steady current I flows down a long cylindrical wire of radius a (see the figure), find the magnetic field both inside and outside the wire, if

a.
The current is uniformly distributed only over the thin surface shell of the wire; (20%)



b.
The current is distributed in such a way that the current density (current per unit area) J is proportional to s, the distance from the axis. (20%)






Hint:



Solution:
