Homework Statement


Need to design a simple magnetic field generator of radius a= 2mm. The solid metal wire must carry a current density, jw, uniformly distributed over its cross section. The current density that must be found must have a magnetic field at a radial distance of r= 8mm from the axis of the wire is 7.5 10^-13 Tesla. Ignore end effects. Must develop the equation using Ampere's Law as the beginning derivation.


Homework Equations


I=∫J*da
A=r*r*∏
B∫J*ds

The Attempt at a Solution



I am have been trying to start off this by drawing a diagram but I don't even think it is correct.

Also I forgot an equation jw inside is

J=(I)/(∏*r*r)
