Homework Statement
A conducting cylindrical shell has it's axle on Ox axis, inner radius R1 and outer radius R2. If the volume current density is given by the formula [itex]\vec{j}[/itex](r)=J0[itex]\frac{r}{R1}[/itex][itex]\hat{i}[/itex] where J0 is a constant and r the distance from the cylinder's axle, calculate the magnetic field [itex]\vec{B}[/itex] : 1) Everywhere in space and 2) On the Oy. Oz axis in a position y>R2 and z>R2
The Attempt at a Solution
Using ampere's law we can easy say that for r<R1 the magnetic field is zero because there is no current passing through the amperian loop. For R1<r<R2 the region that the not uniform density takes place.
I draw an amperian loop of radius r. The whole point as i see it is to calculate the Ienc . So step by step what i did :
1) dI=J*da ,da=2πrdr so dI= [itex]\frac{2π}{R1}[/itex]j0 r2dr
2)so Ienc= [itex]\frac{2π}{R1}[/itex]j0 ∫r2dr from R1 to r.
3)so Ienc= [itex]\frac{2π}{3R1}[/itex]j0 (r3-R13)
4) Thus the amperes law gives ∫Bdl=μ0[itex]\frac{2π}{3R1}[/itex]j0 (r3-R13) and B2πr=μ0[itex]\frac{2π}{3R1}[/itex]j0 (r3-R13) so B=μ0[itex]\frac{2π}{3R1}[/itex]j0 [r2-(R13/r)]
5) For r>R2, outside the cylinder, the amperian loop will include the total current which the same as Ienc but for r=R2 so Itotal= [itex]\frac{2π}{3R1}[/itex]j0 (R23-R13)
6) And applying the ampere's law again into a loop radius r>R2 it gives B= (μ0j0/3r)[(R23/R1)-R12]
7) It seems that in the Oy,Oz axis the magnetic field is the same and outside the cylinder it decreases with a ratio 1/r. The magnetic field is doing loops around the cylinder and inside the area with the current in the [itex]\hat{φ}[/itex] direction.
I am not sure if what i did is correct and the conclusions i made. Can you comment please?
