B

Current density at distance 'r' from central axis of the conductor is `J(r )=(3B_(0)r)/(mu_(0))`

C

Half of the total current would be confined within the radius of `(R )/((2)^((1)/(3)))` of the conductor

D

For `r gt R` magnetic field would vary as `B(r )=(B_(0)R^(3))/(r )`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given information about the cylindrical conductor and the magnetic field inside it. The magnetic field \( B \) is given as \( B = B_0 r^2 \) for \( 0 < r \leq R \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Magnetic Field**: - The magnetic field inside the conductor varies with the radius \( r \) as \( B = B_0 r^2 \). This indicates that the magnetic field strength increases with the square of the distance from the axis of the cylinder. 2. **Finding Current Density**: - The magnetic field \( B \) is related to the current density \( J \) through Ampere's Law. Since \( B \) depends on \( r^2 \), the current density \( J \) must also vary with \( r \). - We can express the current density as \( J(r) = k r^n \), where \( k \) is a constant and \( n \) is a power that we need to determine. 3. **Using Ampere's Law**: - According to Ampere's Law, for a cylindrical conductor, the integral form is given by: \[ \oint B \cdot dl = \mu_0 I_{\text{enc}} \] - For a circular path of radius \( r \), the left-hand side becomes \( B \cdot 2\pi r \). 4. **Calculating Enclosed Current**: - The enclosed current \( I_{\text{enc}} \) for a radius \( r \) is given by: \[ I_{\text{enc}} = \int_0^r J(r') \cdot dA = \int_0^r J(r') \cdot 2\pi r' dr' \] - Substituting \( J(r') = k r'^n \): \[ I_{\text{enc}} = 2\pi k \int_0^r r'^{n+1} dr' = 2\pi k \left[ \frac{r^{n+2}}{n+2} \right]_0^r = \frac{2\pi k r^{n+2}}{n+2} \] 5. **Equating Both Sides**: - From Ampere's Law: \[ B \cdot 2\pi r = \mu_0 I_{\text{enc}} \] - Substituting \( B = B_0 r^2 \) and \( I_{\text{enc}} \): \[ (B_0 r^2) \cdot 2\pi r = \mu_0 \left( \frac{2\pi k r^{n+2}}{n+2} \right) \] - Simplifying gives: \[ 2\pi B_0 r^3 = \frac{2\pi \mu_0 k r^{n+2}}{n+2} \] - Canceling \( 2\pi \) and rearranging: \[ B_0 r^3 = \frac{\mu_0 k r^{n+2}}{n+2} \] 6. **Comparing Powers**: - For the powers of \( r \) to match, we have: \[ 3 = n + 2 \implies n = 1 \] - Substituting \( n = 1 \) into the equation gives: \[ B_0 = \frac{\mu_0 k}{3} \] 7. **Finding Current Density**: - Thus, the current density becomes: \[ J(r) = k r = 3B_0 r / \mu_0 \] 8. **Analyzing the Options**: - Now we need to determine which of the provided options is incorrect based on our findings about \( J \) and the behavior of \( B \). ### Conclusion: After analyzing the behavior of the magnetic field and the current density, we can conclude that: - **Option A**: Correct - **Option B**: Correct - **Option C**: Correct - **Option D**: Incorrect (as it does not follow the derived relationship for \( B \) when \( r > R \))
