Problem 3.364

In an inertial reference frame KK there is only magnetic field with induction B=b(yixj)/(x2+y2),\mathbf{B}=b(y \mathbf{i}-x \mathbf{j}) /\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right), where bb is a constant, i and j\mathbf{j} are the unit vectors of the xx and yy axes. Find the electric field strength E\mathbf{E}^{\prime} in the frame KK^{\prime} moving relative to the frame KK with a constant non-relativistic velocity v=vk;k\mathbf{v}=v \mathbf{k} ; \mathbf{k} is the unit vector of the zz axis. The zz^{\prime} axis is assumed to coincide with the zz axis. What is the shape of the field E?\mathbf{E}^{\prime} ?

Reveal Answer
E=br/r2, where r is the distance from the z axis. \mathbf{E}^{\prime}=b \mathbf{r} / r^{2}, \text { where } r \text { is the distance from the } z^{\prime} \text { axis. }
