A single particle Hamitonian ##H=\frac{m\dot{x}^{2}}{2}+\frac{m\dot{y}^{2}}{2}+\frac{x^{2}+y^{2}}{2}## can be expressed as: ##H=\frac{p_{x}^{2}}{2m}+\frac{p_{y}^{2}}{2m}+\frac{x^{2}+y^{2}}{2}## or even: ##H=\frac{p_{x}^{2}}{2m}+\frac{p_{y}^{2}}{2m}+\frac{\dot{p_{x}}^{2}+\dot{p_{x}}^{2}}{4}##...
The problem is about a finite solenoid, so the approximation won't hold. ## \nabla \times E=-\frac{\partial{B}}{\partial{t}} ##, but there is a ## \mu_o ## on the expression for ##\vec{B(t)}##. Why ##\nabla \times \vec{B} =0## is not correct? The vector only has ##\hat{k}## component and it is a...
Homework Statement
From an original surface current ##\vec{K}=K\hat{\phi}## on a finite solenoid, I got ##\vec{B}=\mu_{0}Kf(z)\hat{k}##, for ##r<R##. Assuming that ##\vec{K}## now slowly oscillates in time such as: ##\vec{K(t)}=K_{0}\cos\left(\omega t\right)\hat{\phi}##, so that I still can use...
Homework Statement
Show that:
d<A(q,p)>/dt=<{A,H}>, where {A,H} is a Poisson Bracket
Homework Equations
Liouville theorem
The Attempt at a Solution
<A>=Tr(Aρ)⇒d<A>/dt=Tr(Adρ/dt)=Tr(A{H,ρ})
So, in order to get the correct result, Tr(A{H,ρ}) must be equal to Tr({A,H}ρ), but I don't think I can...
