Problem 3.272

A permanent magnet has the shape of a sufficiently thin disc magnetized along its axis. The radius of the disc is R=1.0 cm.R=1.0 \mathrm{~cm} . Evaluate the magnitude of a molecular current II^{\prime} flowing along the rim of the disc if the magnetic induction at the point on the axis of the disc, lying at a distance x=10 cmx=10 \mathrm{~cm} from its centre, is equal to B=30μTB=30 \mu \mathrm{T}

Reveal Answer
I2Bx3/μ0R2=0.5kAI^{\prime} \approx 2 B x^{3} / \mu_{0} R^{2}=0.5 \mathrm{k} \mathrm{A}
