A long cylindrical conductor of radius R carries a current I as shown below left. The current density J, however, is not uniform over the cross section of the conductor but is a function of the radius according to J = br, where b is a constant. Find an expression for the magnetic field B (a) at a distance r₁ < R and (b) at a distance r₂ > R, measured from the axis. 12 R I
