Finding the magnetic field inside a material shell under external field

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the magnetic field inside a cylindrical shell under an external magnetic field, emphasizing the need for boundary conditions on both the inner and outer surfaces. Participants mention the importance of using superposition and correctly applying boundary conditions for both tangential and radial components. There is confusion regarding the magnetization (M) from the magnetic material and finding an appropriate internal magnetic field (H_in). Initial calculations led to different results, but after clarification, it was confirmed that the method for cylindrical shells is similar to that for spherical shells. The conversation highlights the importance of careful reading and understanding of the problem context.

Homework Statement
A uniform external field B_{ext} = B_{ext}xˆ is applied to an infinitely long cylindrical shell with inside radius a, outside radius b, and relative permeability κ = µ/µ_{0}. The rest of space is vacuum. Show that the field inside the shell is screened to the value :
Bin = 4κb^{2}Bext /((κ + 1)^{2}b^{2} − (κ − 1)^{2}a^{2})
Relevant Equations
B=µ*H,
B=µ_{0}(H+M) when M is the magnetisation of the material
I know that we need to use some boundry condition both on the a radius surface and the b radius surface and somehowuse the superposition on them both, the boundry condition most be for the tangential and the radial part,
the only things I got is that i don`t know how to produce a magnetisation M from the magnetic material, and how tofind some H_{in} that is suitable
to the problem?

the only relations that I suceed to produce it`s:
µ_{0}*κ*H_{in}*r(hat)=B_{ext}sin(θ)
µ_{0}*κ*H_{in}*θ(hat)=B_{ext}cos(θ)

oh oops my bad didn't read cylindrical

edit:
sorry for the inconvenience caused yes the answer is correct
i worked it out again the method is almost exactly same as the spherical one

That's OK. I do that sort of thing all the time.
