SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on verifying Poynting's theorem in a cylindrical solenoid connected to a resistance R, with a current i(0)=i0 flowing through it. The user attempts to derive the current i(t) using the equation L(di/dt) = Ri, where L represents the inductance of the solenoid. The challenge lies in expressing the current density J for the solenoid and the complexity of calculations involved in applying the theorem globally. A reference to inductance and magnetic field energy is provided as a potential resource.

Homework Statement


Consider a cylindrical solenoid(of radius a,and length h>>a,having n turns of wire for unity of lenght),The solenoid is connected to a resistance R and,at instant t=0 a current i(0)=i0 is flowing in the wire.Prove that poynting's theorem is verified for t>0[/B]

The Attempt at a Solution


I assumed the current i(t) could be obtained solving Ldi/dt=Ri,where L is the inductance I previously computed.I tried to verify the conservation of energy applying the theorem in its global form on the volume of the solenoid,but,on one side,i don't know how to express current density J for the solenoid,on the other i realized it would lead me to a massive amount of calculations,Maybe there's some other way I didn't take into account?Sorry for my English.[/B]
