![2. The current distribution of an infinite,
wire can be described in cylindrical coordinates by
J = J(p) 2.
longitudinally-uniform, and axially-symmetric
(a) Show that. J = 0.
(b) Considerations of longitudinal and axial symmetry require that the mag-
netic field can only depend upon p, i.e. that
B(p) = Bp(p)ô + Bø(p) + B₂(p)2.
Use Ampère's Law to determine B6 (p) in terms of I (p) = 2π J(p') p'dp'.
(c) Use the Biot and Savart Law to show that Bp(p) = B₂ (p) = 0. Side note:
it is pretty easy to show that B,(p) must be zero using Gauss's Law for
B with a cylindrical volume. I am not aware of an "easy" way to see
B₂ (p) = 0 - not that it is very difficult using the Biot and Savart Law...
(d) Use the integral form for the vector potential [Jackson, Eq. (5.32)] to
determine A for this current distribution. Hint: in order to deal with
divergent integrals, you may want to limit the current distribution to
-L ≤ z ≤ L, determine A, adjust A by a constant (as one is allowed to
do), and then take L→ ∞.
(e) Verify that the A in part (d) reproduces the B found in parts (b) and (c)
when the curl is taken.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F9b65ef36-cf51-4f81-80a6-74e205c9e9b1%2F68c1ce4b-189d-43ad-84b6-e6507f860fdc%2F5mjuvhd_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
