A wire of circular cross-section carries current density that is not uniform but varies with distance from the center as j(r)=j0(1-(r/R)2), for radius r in the range 0 < r < R. Here, j0 is a constant with units amperes per square meter, and the radius of the wire is R = 0.27 mm. A. Find an expression for the magnetic field inside the wire, r < R, in terms of the current I.  B(r) =   B.  What is the maximum value of the magnetic field, in tesla?
