How Does the Feynman Paradox Apply to Solenoid Flux Calculations?

In summary, the conversation discusses a problem involving a solenoid being turned off and the resulting charge observed. The goal is to find the initial value of A using the given data and equations. The student attempted to solve the problem but was unsure of where to start in the fourth step. The conversation also clarifies the equations and their proper use.

I am currently going through a friend's Mechanics II notes and homework before I take the course at a different university next semester. I have a few problems that I am having trouble understanding and am posting here for help.

1. Homework Statement

1. A solenoid is on, Flux is Φ.
2. The solenoid is turned off. A charge of Δmv = eΦ/2πr is observed.
3. Find A(initial) assuming A(final) = 0 from this data.
4. Show that A(initial) is consistent with ∫A*dx = ∫d2x∇xA = ∫d2x*B = Φ

Homework Equations


Φ = ∫d2x*B
∇xE = =d/dt∇xA = -dB/dt
dmv/dt-eE = e dA/dt

The Attempt at a Solution


3. dmv/dt-eE = e*dA/dt => mv-e∫E*dx = eA => mv/e-A = ∫E*dx = -dΦ/dt => A(initial) - mv/e = A final = 0 => A(inital) = mv/e
A(initial) = mΦ/2πr
4. I'm not sure where to start here.

First thing the Lorentz force is ##F= q(E+v\times B)##;
and in your three you are missing the curl of A, and btw it should be ##\nabla \times A = B##, without the minus sign as you wrote over there.
 
  • #3
Another thing, your integral should be with respect to ##dt##, i.e. ##\int curl A dt##.
