If a uniform magnetic field ##{\bf{B}}=B_{z}{\bf{\hat{z}}}## exists in a hollow cylinder (with the top and bottom open) with a radius ##R## and axis pointing in the ##z##-direction, then the vector potential
$${\bf{A}}=\frac{BR^{2}}{2r}{\bf{\hat{\phi}}}?$$
using Stokes's theorem.
How can you prove this?
