    This document discusses the transformation of electric and magnetic fields between different frames of reference. It contains 4 problems: 1) Finding a frame where E and B fields make an angle of π/3 and showing there are infinitely many such frames. 2) Determining the magnitude of E and B fields that make an angle of 60° in one frame, and if a perpendicular frame exists. 3) Showing the E and B field components for a moving charge density seen in two frames related by a relative velocity. 4) Calculating the electric and magnetic fields and force between two parallel wires with charge density in their rest frame and a laboratory frame.

    ELECTROMAGNETIC THEORY 2020-21

    TUTORIAL VIII

    Transformation of E & B
    1. Given a frame of reference in which exist E and B fields given by

    E = 5k̂
    B = 5k̂
    Find a frame of reference in which the two fields make an angle of π3
    to one another. Show that there exist an infinite number of frames in
    which this is possible. What are the fields in such a frame? What is
    the common feature of all such frames?

    2. In a frame of reference, S, the electric and magnetic fields have a uniform


    value given by:

    E = 2î + ĵ + 2k̂
    r r
    71 3 71
    B = î + ĵ − k̂
    32 4 32
    Determine the magnitude of these fields in a frame in which they make
    an angle 60◦ with respect to each other. Is it also possible to find a
    frame in which they are perpendicular to each other ?

    3. Consider an infinite wire, lying along the x0 axis, with a uniform, static
    charge linear density σ 0 , in a frame S 0 . Show that the components of
    the electromagnetic field at a point b0 on the y 0 axis in this frame are
    given by

    Ex0 = Ez 0 = 0
    σ0
    Ey 0 = 2 0
    b
    1
    B0 = 0
    Let this frame be moving relative to a frame S with a speed v along
    the x axis, with the other axes of the two frames being parallel to each
    other. Show that the electromagnetic field components at a distance b
    on the y axis of the frame S are given by

    Ex = Ez = 0
    σ
    Ey = 2
    b
    Bx = By = 0
    Bz = βEy
    with β = vc and σ is the charge density in S. Show that this expression
    for the magnetic field is precisely the expression that one would obtain
    from the Biot-Savart Law:

    Z+∞
    I dx × r
    B=
    c |r|3
    −∞

    Here I is the current in frame S

    4. Two parallel infinitely long straight wires of negligible cross-sectional


    area are separated by a distance a and are at rest in an inertial frame
    K 0 . Both wires carry a uniform linear charge density q0 as seen in K 0 .
    The frame K 0 (and hence each wire) moves with a velocity v parallel to
    the direction of the wires with respect to the laboratory frame K.

    (a) Write down the electric and magnetic fields in the rest frame K 0 , and
    calculate the force per unit length between the wires.
    (b) What are the electric and magnetic fields in the laboratory frame
    K?
    (c) Compute the force per unit length between the wires in the labo-
    ratory frame using the fields (and charge density) measured in the
    laboratory frame, and show that it is identical to the force seen in
    the rest frame.
