The solution at revision #20247 of , by Tete. This is not the current version.

Statement

11.2.15∗. Outside a cylinder of radius , the induction of a uniform magnetic field increases linearly in time: . How should the induction of a uniform magnetic field inside the cylinder change over time so that the electron moves along a circle of radius ? At , the electron is at rest.

For problem $11.2.15$

Solution

For problem $11.2.15$
For problem

The magnetic force provides centripetal acceleration to the electron, so

where , , and are the charge, mass, and speed of the electron around the circle, respectively. Since , the tangential acceleration of the electron is

It is caused by induced electric field as a result of changing magnetic flux. Thus,

Let be the magnetic field inside the cylinder in the same direction as . By the law of induction,

As a result,

Since is initially zero, we have .
