Problem 3.325

A ring of radius a=50 mma=50 \mathrm{~mm} made of thin wire of radius b=1.0 mmb=1.0 \mathrm{~mm} was located in a uniform magnetic field with induction B=0.50mTB=0.50 \mathrm{mT} so that the ring plane was perpendicular to the vector B\mathrm{B} Then the ring was cooled down to a superconducting state, and the magnetic field was switched off. Find the ring current after that. Note that the inductance of a thin ring along which the surface current flows is equal to L=μ0a(ln8ab2)L=\mu_{0} a\left(\ln \frac{8 a}{b}-2\right)

Reveal Answer
I=πaBμ0(ln8ab2)=50 AI=\frac{\pi a B}{\mu_{0}\left(\ln \frac{8 a}{b}-2\right)}=50 \mathrm{~A}
