Transcribed Image Text:1) Adapting an old exam question: Consider a hollow cylindrical
conductor of inner radius b and outer radius 2b, which is carrying
current INTO the page. A cross-section of the conductor is shown here
where the x region indicates the part carrying the current. The
current is uniformly distributed throughout the x region, with current
density j.
a) What is the total current I carried by this structure, in terms of b, j, and other
{2b^
constants?
b) What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at the following radial
distances from the center of the conductor?
ri for 0<r;<b
rii for b<rii<2b

iii)
c) Instead of a uniform current density j, the conductor is now carrying a NONuniform
current density given by jnon= jr/b, where r is the radial distance from the center of the
conductor and j and b are constants as before. Now, what is the total current carried by
this conductor? (An integral might be in order..) Is it greater or less than before? (You
can answer this part, even without getting the first...)
