Question
A magnetic field, B, is given as a function of the distance,r, from the center of a wire as follows:B =rr0B0 for r r0r0r B0 for r>r0.(a) Sketch a graph of B against r. What is the meaningof the constant B0?(b) Is B continuous at r = r0? Give reasons.(c) Is B differentiable at r = r0? Give reasons.
Solution
The first step in solving 2.6 problem number 12 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A magnetic field, B, is given as a function of the distance,r, from the center of a wire as follows:B =rr0B0 for r r0r0r B0 for r>r0.(a) Sketch a graph of B against r. What is the meaningof the constant B0?(b) Is B continuous at r = r0? Give reasons.(c) Is B differentiable at r = r0? Give reasons.
From the textbook chapter DIFFERENTIABILITY you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
