Homework Statement



A Copper Ring with Radius r and mass m hangs by a thread and rotates with a period T. Ring's coefficient of self inductance is L . What would be a new rotation period of ring, if it was in a horisontal uniform magnetic B field, which is parallel to Ring's plane on a picture? Ring's moment of inertia(axis goes through the centre of mass of Ring) is J. Ring has no electrical resistance.

2. Answer:

T' = \frac{T}{\sqrt{1 + \frac{B^2 r^4 T^2}{4LJ}}}

The Attempt at a Solution



Ring has no resistance, then magnetic flux is:

\Phi = LI + \vec{B}\vec{S} = const

initial conditions:

\vec{B}\vec{S} = 0 ; I = 0

LI = - BScos \angle(B,S) \rightarrow I = -\frac{BScos \angle(B,S)}{L}

And after this stage I have big troubles :(
I think, I have to use the Magnetic and angular moments but I don't know how :(

The only one idea I have is following:
p_m - <p_{el}> = <p_m'>
Jw - IS = Jw'
\frac{J2\pi}{T} + \frac{BS^2<cos \angle(B,S)>}{L} = \frac{J2\pi}{T'}
<cos \angle(B,S)> = 0

ofc, It's the wrong solution :)
help me, please

Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
