Homework Statement


[/B]
A cubic block of uniform linear magnetic material is placed in an otherwise uniform magnetic field
Bo = Bo*. The block lies such that z^ is a normal of the top face.
a)Compute the new H field everywhere.
b)compute the new B field everywhere


Homework Equations

& The attempt at a solution[/B]

My solution so far is based on the fact there are no free currents
ie curl(H) = 0

Using:
B = Bo +μo*M (1) (from hyper physics)
H
=B/μo -M (2) (from lecture notes)

substituting (1) into (2) I get:

H = Bo/μo

(I'm not sure if this is correct)

computing the B-field then using B=μ*H
I get:
**B**=μr*Bo note: μr is relative permittivty (μ/μo)

I'm not sure if this is correct regarding boundary conditions as M is discontinuous at the boundary of the cube.
ie the div(M) ≠ 0

and since div(H) = -div(M) (this can be shown by taking the divergence of (2) as div(B) = 0)

so div(H) should also not equal zero, however given the H field I calculated that's clearly not the case.

any tips for where I'm going wrong?


thanks in advance!

is this from an assignment or from a textbook question? i remember seeing something similar

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’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...
