Question: B - Field from a Rotating Disk ( 2 5 points ) ( a ) Compute the magnetic field B ( 0 , 0 ,

B-Field from a Rotating Disk (25 points)
(a) Compute the magnetic field B(0,0, z) on the axis of a circular ring
of radius R carrying a current I. The ring is in the xy-plane and
is centered on the origin.
(b) Earlier we considered a CD of radius R with a fixed, constant,
uniform surface electric charge density everywhere on its top
surface. It was spinning at angular velocity z about its center
(the origin). You found the current density K at a distance r from
the center. Use that result to find the magnetic field B(0,0, z) at
any distance z directly above the origin. Does your answer seem
reasonable? Check its limiting behaviors (e.g. what do you expect
if R 0? z ? 0? Slightly less obvious, but also worth
checking/thinking about, what about z 0?)
