A long, straight conducting wire of radius R has a nonuniform current density J = J0r/R, where J0 is a constant. The wire carries total current I. a. Find an expression for J0 in terms of I and R. b. Find an expression for the magnetic field strength inside the wire at radius r. c. At the boundary, r = R, does your solution match the known field outside a long, straight current-carrying wire?

An infinitely wide flat sheet of charge flows out of the page in FIGURE CP29.83. The current per unit width along the sheet (amps per meter) is given by the linear current density Js. a. What is the shape of the magnetic field? To answer this question, you may find it helpful to approximate the current sheet as many parallel, closely spaced current-carrying wires. Give your answer as a picture showing magnetic field vectors. b. Find the magnetic field strength at distance d above or below the current sheet.
