Homework Statement



A very thin conducting disc of radius a and conductivity \sigma lies in the x-y plane with the origin at its center. A spatially uniform induction is present and given by B=B_0 cos\(\omega t \)\hat{z}. Find the induced current density \vec{J} in the disc.

Homework Equations



\vec{J} = \sigma ( \vec{E} + \vec{v} \times \vec{B} )
\vec{\nabla} \times \vec{B} = \mu_0 \vec{J}
\vec{\nabla} \times \vec{B} = \mu_0 \vec{J} + \mu_0 \epsilon_0 \frac{\partial \vec{E}}{\partial t}

The Attempt at a Solution



I'm utterly confused on this problem, I really just don't know where to start. The first equation for \vec{J} is utterly useless as our medium is stationary. The second is also not too helpful as it doesn't take into account the magnetic field's time dependence. The third also suffers from this problem. So that is my first hiccup. I know it's zero progress but this subject is hard for me :(

I'm silly, I think I got it started:

\vec{\nabla} \times \vec{E} = - \frac{ \partial \vec{B} }{\partial t} = + B_0 \omega \sin(\omega t) \hat{z}
\oint_C \vec{E} \cdot d\vec{s} = \oint_C E_\phi \hat{\phi} \cdot \rho d\phi \hat{\phi} = 2 \pi \rho E_\phi
= \int_S (\vec{\nabla} \times \vec{E}) \cdot d\vec{a} = \omega B_0 \sin(\omega t) \int da_z
E_\phi = \frac{1}{2} \omega B_0 \sin(\omega t)
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
