Help with curls and current density!1

Homework Statement


In cylindrical coordinates, J = 105*(cos(2r)2)*az in a certain region. Obtain H from this current density and then take the curl of H and compare with J.

Answer H = 105*(r/4+sin4r/8+cos4r/32r-1/32r)aphi


Homework Equations


J = Del Operator X H


The Attempt at a Solution


Well I know I will be working backwards here. I am given the current density and they want H. However can anyone provide hints for me for the inverse of the del operator. Am I just going ot take the integral of everything as opposed to the partial derivative.??

Thanks

Here the current density has only one component (az). Which component of the curl operator will yield this components of J?
 


Telling from the answer it looks like aphi

I meant in terms of partial differentials.
 

Thread 'Direction of the magnetic field of an oscillating charge'

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...

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

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...
