Help with curls and current density 1

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the relationship between current density and magnetic field intensity in cylindrical coordinates, specifically focusing on the curl operation and its implications. The problem involves deriving H from a given current density J and subsequently taking the curl of H to compare it with J.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the process of working backwards from the current density to find H, with one participant seeking hints regarding the inverse of the del operator. There is also a question about whether integration is the appropriate method to use in this context.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring the components of the curl operator and their relation to the given current density. Some guidance has been offered regarding the specific component of the curl that corresponds to the current density's single az component.

Contextual Notes

There is a focus on the cylindrical coordinate system and the specific form of the current density, which may limit the applicability of certain methods or assumptions. The discussion also highlights the need for clarity on the operations involved in the curl and the del operator.

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.
