Question
**Title: Magnetic Field Calculation for a Long, Straight Conducting Wire**

---

A long, straight conducting wire with radius \( R \) is carrying current. The current density is *non-uniform* and increases with distance from the central axis according to \( J(r) = J_0 \sqrt{\frac{r}{R}} \), where \( J_0 \) is a constant. 

**Objective:**
Derive an expression for the magnitude of the magnetic field \( B(r) \) for all points *outside* the wire (\( r > R \)).

**Hint:**
Finding the total current in a cross-section of the wire will require an integral.
