Solutions to homework #10 of physics 435, a university-level course in spring 2009. The homework deals with magnetic fields and currents, including finding magnetic fields, bound currents, and total enclosed currents in various scenarios. It involves using ampere's law and the method of calculating vector integrals.

a) Find H s ( )
and B ( ) s
in all regions. b) Find the bound currents Kb
and Jb
everywhere c) Find the total enclosed current (free and bound) within a circle with s > a and check that your B ( s > a )
is consistent with Ampere’s law with this current.
in the region a < s < b. Air is everywhere else. We define 3 regions: #1 r < a , #2 a < r < b
at radius
. Another bound surface current exists at s = a. Answer all parts of this problem in terms of a,b ,
a) Find M
b) Find K s (^^ = a )

that only exists in the magnet. There are no free currents anywhere.
a) Compute the bound current density ( J )
and all bound surface currents ( K )
b) Use Ampere’s law to compute B
everywhere and show your answer implies H = 0
everywhere. Hint—assume that B = 0
outside of the magnet and place one side of your Ampere loop outside the magnet.
c) Verify the boundary condition Bout − Bin = μ o ( K (^) free + Kbound (^) ) × n ˆ
