MPhy sicsB20.4 0Ampres law A current flowing in a long cylindrical wire of radius is uniform across the cross section. a) Use Amperes law to show that the magnetic field inside the conductor at a distance from the axis of the conductor is

b)

Show that at the surface of the cylindrical wire this agrees with the answer for the magnetic field outside of a long wire, i.e.

c)

Where is the magnetic field a maximum, and what is its maximum value for diameter wire carrying dc? d) Plot the strength of the magnetic field as a function of , the distance perpendicularly out from the central axis of a long cylindrical wire of radius e) At what distance from the surface of the wire would the magnetic field be 10 percent of its maximum? Suggested solutions: Amperes law states that: To calculate the magnetic field inside a cylindrical solid metal, at a distance from the central axis of a solid metallic wire, we make a circular virtual line inside the cylinder as illustrated in the figure. If the current through the wire is perfectly uniform, and its length density is where is the uniform current density of the wire. If the current density is uniform, and the cylindrical wire is also uniform in shape and physical properties, Amperes law inside the wire at a distance from the central axis of the cylinder, may be expressed as: { QED ,

On the surface of the wire: Amperes law may be used using a circular cylinder with the central axis identical to the inner cylinder: Note that at { Outside the wire, For points outside the cylinder, Amperes law may be written as: Maximum magnetic field is on the surface of a DC current carrying long uniform cylindrical wire. Data: , , , Due to the fact that for the magnetic field inside, the magnetic field is . Similarly, since the magnetic field is a decreasing function of the distance from the central axis, the magnetic field is maximum on the surface of the wire: Maximum value of the magnetic field: On the surface of the wire: Answer: : , the magnetic fields calculated are identical
