Magnetization current is a steady current?

In developing Mazwell's equations in media, we considered the total charge as consisting of free and bound charges and currents, so that

ρtot = ρf + ρb
and
Jtot = Jf + Jb

The bound current maybe furhter divided into magnetization and polarization currents

Jb = JM + JP

,expressed in terms of the magnetic and electrical dipole moments per unit volume, respectively. From the definitions of the various charges and currents as given in your text and notes:

a) show that the magnetization current is a steady current
b) show that the bound charge is conserved
c) from the above and the experimental fact that the free charge is conserved show that the total charge is conserved.

Can someone help me get started on these? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Nevermind I got it. It was simple, just didnt think about it.
 
To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
