Assume this magnetization is due to completely aligned electrons. a) Calculate how many such electrons there are per unit volume. b) Calculate how many such electrons there are per atom. (Note: The average mass density of cobalt is ρ Co = kg / m 3 and the atomic mass is 58.9 grams / mole.) 3.) In iron, two of the electrons of each atom participate in the alignment of spins that gives rise to magnetization. Assume that a cylindrical piece of iron of radius 1.0 cm and length 8.0 cm is completely magnetized along its major axis of symmetry, with every available electron aligned. a) Calculate the number of aligned electrons. b) Calculate the magnetic field produced by this alignment. 4.) The alignment of of electron spins in a ferromagnetic material suggests that the magnetized material has angular momentum. Assume that a cylindrical piece of iron of radius 2.0 cm and length 30.0 cm is completely magnetized along its major axis of symmetry, with every available electron aligned. (See problem 3.)) Now, if the magnetization is suddenly reversed so that spins are now anti-parallel, calculate the change in angular momentum. (Note: The average mass density of iron is ρ Fe = kg / m 3 and the atomic mass is 55.8 grams / mole.) 5.) A long solenoid has a turn density of n = 1200 turns / m. The solenoid is filled with a ferromagnetic material. The value of the magnetic field in this material is B = 2.0 T. Use this information to determine the value of κ M under these conditions. W 45-1
