Magnetic Field due to Time Dependent Current

mercredi 2 avril 2014

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

A long, straight, copper wire has a circular cross section with radius R, resistivity p and permittivity ε. If the current through the wire at any time t is sin(ωt) amperes, find the magnitude of the magnetic field B at time t a distance r from the centre of the wire for r > R.





2. Relevant equations

Ampere's Law:

μI = Bdl

Possibly Law of Biot-Savart:

B = μ/4π * (Idl x r)/r^2



3. The attempt at a solution

μI = Bdl

μ(sin(ωt))=B*dl (Since they are parallel)

μ(sin(ωt))=Bdl (Since B is constant radially around conductor)



This is where I reach a bottleneck. I don't know how to incorporate ε (since this is a magnetic field). I assume resistivity would be used in calculating the current I, but I don't know how that ties into the sinusoidal function.
