1. A charged particle travels with velocity v z parallel to a wire carrying constant current I in the z direction. Find the canonical momentum P , and compute P P . 2. A charged particle is following a helical path through a magnetic eld that varies slowly. Initially the radius is r1 when the magnetic eld is B1 . If after a while the magnetic eld is B2 = 1.6 B1 , what is the radius r2 ? 3. Verify that the Yukawa potential (Eq. 12.94) solves the Proca Lagrangian for a charge q at rest at the origin. 4. Verify Eqs. 12.104 and 12.105. 5. Jackson # 12.1 6. Jackson # 12.2 b 7. Jackson # 12.3
