IS it possible to have total bound current NOT equal to 0?

In summary, it is possible for the total bound current to be non-zero in a closed circuit. The magnitude of the total bound current can be affected by various factors such as material properties, external magnetic fields, and circuit geometry. The presence of bound current can alter the magnetic field and change the behavior of the circuit. It is possible to calculate the total bound current using the Maxwell-Ampere equation. In theory, the total bound current can be eliminated from a circuit by removing all sources of magnetism, but this is difficult to achieve in practice.

I have a permanent magnetization [itex]\vec{M}[/itex]=(ks)[itex]\hat{z}[/itex], k is just a const, s is the cylindrical coor. Then it turns out that the total bound current not equal to 0. i wonder is it possible? the magnetization is stored inside the shell of a cylinder of inner radius a and outer radius b.
thanks in advance!

What do you mean by total current? If the magnetization points in the direction of long axis of the cylinder, there is a surface current circling around the cylinder.
 

1. Can the total bound current be non-zero in a closed circuit?

Yes, it is possible for the total bound current to be non-zero in a closed circuit. This can occur if there are sources of magnetism present, such as permanent magnets or current-carrying wires, which create a magnetic field that can contribute to the bound current.

2. What factors can affect the magnitude of the total bound current?

The magnitude of the total bound current can be affected by the material properties of the medium through which the current is passing, the strength and direction of any external magnetic fields, and the geometry and size of the circuit.

3. How does the presence of bound current affect the behavior of a circuit?

The presence of bound current can alter the magnetic field within a circuit, which can in turn affect the behavior of any other currents present. This can lead to changes in the overall resistance, voltage, and current in the circuit.

4. Is it possible to calculate the total bound current in a circuit?

Yes, it is possible to calculate the total bound current in a circuit using the Maxwell-Ampere equation, which relates the total bound current to the magnetic flux through a closed surface surrounding the circuit.

5. Can the total bound current be eliminated from a circuit?

In theory, it is possible to eliminate the total bound current from a circuit by removing all sources of magnetism. However, in practice, this is difficult to achieve, and some bound current may still be present due to imperfections in the circuit's components.
