Finding the strobilization of the magnetization at sphrerical coordinates.

[vchris5]

Homework Statement

If the magnetization of a sphere is:
\vec{M} = \hat{\phi }\frac {r}{R}sin\theta M_{o}

How much are the captive streams:
J_{b}=\vec{\bigtriangledown }\times \vec{M}
K_{b}=\vec{M}\times \hat{n}

The Attempt at a Solution

I find that the first is:
J_{b} = \frac {2M_{o}}{R}(cos\theta \hat{r} - sin\theta \hat{\theta })
but i don't know if that is correct and the point that i really want help is how to work the K.

Thank you a lot.

I've never heard the term "captive streams" before, in English \vec{J}_b and \vec{K}_b are usually called "bound currents"

Your solution for the bound volume current \vec{J}_b is correct ...As for the bound surface current \vec{K}_b, what is the outward normal direction \hat{n} for a spherical surface?

Hello gabbagabbahey,
You are right about the term "bound currents".
For the surface current \vec{K}_b , the normal direction \hat{n} is always vertical to the spherical surface.But how are the coordinates of \hat{n} to put them to the type of strobilization..??
Thanks a lot for your interest.

I'm not sure what "strobilization" means... are you translating this from another language?

Also, the surface normal is always perpendicular to the surface, not "vertical"...In spherical coordinates, \hat{n}=\hat{r}...do you see why?

With the word strobilization I mean the \vec{M}\times \hat{n}.
Sorry but my English are not so good with the physics terms..

Oh yes, i see. So the surface current bound must be:
K_{b}=\frac{r}{R}sin\theta M_{o}\hat{\theta } ?

 

[gabbagabbahey]

looks good to me

I guess by "strobilization", you maybe mean "vector cross product"?

gabbagabbahey first of all, thanks a lot.
And the next problem is how is the A(x) with these current bounds??

vchris, first of all, your welcome!

And next, use the integral equations for the vector potential A:

\vec{A}(\vec{r})=\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \int_{\mathcal{V}} \frac{\vec{J}_b}{|\vec{r}-\vec{r}'|}dV'+\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \oint_{\mathcal{S}} \frac{\vec{K}_b}{|\vec{r}-\vec{r}'|}dA'

I know this formula. I will try to find a solution and i will upload it to be able to compare...!
Thanks again!

I found that the surface current bound gives:
\frac{\mu_oMr}3sin\theta \hat{e_\varphi} for r<R
\frac{\mu_oMR^3}3\frac{1}{r^2}sin\theta \hat{e_\varphi } for r>R
But i can't find a solution for the other current bound
