Question
A long cylindrical wire of radius b carries a current i distributed uniformly over its cross-section. Find the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point inside the wire at a distance a from the axis.
✓
Answer
i is uniformly distributed throughout So, ‘i’ for the part of radius $\text{a}=\frac{\text{i}}{\pi\text{b}^2}\times\pi\text{a}^2=\frac{\text{ia}^2}{\text{b}^2}=\text{I}$
