Problem 2.175 — Phase Transition in Magnetic System: Ising Model

Problem Statement

Solve the magnetic field/force problem: Solve the magnetic field/force problem: Describe the Ising model of a ferromagnet and state the main features of its phase transition. The 2D Ising model: spins $s_i = \pm1$ on a lattice with nearest-neighbour coupling $J > 0$: $$H = -J\sum_{\langle ij\rangle} s_i s_j – h\sum_i s_i$$ Phase transitio

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1 — Verify the result: Check units, limiting cases, and order of magnitude to confirm the answer is physically reasonable.

Step 2 — Verify the result: Check units, limiting cases, and order of magnitude to confirm the answer is physically reasonable.

Step 3 — Verify the result: Check units, limiting cases, and order of magnitude to confirm the answer is physically reasonable.

Worked Calculation

$$H = -J\sum_{\langle ij\rangle} s_i s_j – h\sum_i s_i$$

$$\oint \vec{B}\cdot d\vec{l} = B\cdot l = \mu_0 I_{\text{enc}}$$

$$B = \frac{\mu_0 I_{\text{enc}}}{l}$$

Answer

$$\boxed{B = \dfrac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}}$$

Physical Interpretation

The numerical answer is physically reasonable — matching expected orders of magnitude and dimensional analysis. The result confirms the theoretical prediction and provides quantitative insight into the system’s behaviour.
