The correct Answer is:
To find the magnetic field induction at a point distance \( r \) from the axis of a linear conductor with a varying current density, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Current Density The current density \( J \) is given by the relation: \[ J = k r^2 \] where \( k \) is a constant and \( r \) is the distance from the axis of the conductor. ### Step 2: Define the Geometry Consider a linear conductor with radius \( a \). We are interested in finding the magnetic field at a point where \( r < a \). ### Step 3: Calculate the Current in a Differential Element To find the total current flowing through a circular shell of thickness \( dr \) at a distance \( r \) from the center, we can express the differential current \( dI \) as: \[ dI = J \cdot dA \] where \( dA \) is the area of the differential shell. The area \( dA \) can be calculated as: \[ dA = 2 \pi r \, dr \] Thus, substituting for \( J \): \[ dI = (k r^2) (2 \pi r \, dr) = 2 \pi k r^3 \, dr \] ### Step 4: Integrate to Find the Total Current \( I \) To find the total current \( I \) flowing through the conductor up to radius \( r \), we integrate \( dI \) from \( 0 \) to \( r \): \[ I = \int_0^r dI = \int_0^r 2 \pi k r^3 \, dr \] Calculating the integral: \[ I = 2 \pi k \left[ \frac{r^4}{4} \right]_0^r = 2 \pi k \frac{r^4}{4} = \frac{\pi k r^4}{2} \] ### Step 5: Apply Ampere's Law According to Ampere's Law: \[ \oint \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{l} = \mu_0 I_{\text{in}} \] For a circular path of radius \( r \), the left-hand side simplifies to: \[ B \cdot (2 \pi r) \] Thus, we have: \[ B (2 \pi r) = \mu_0 I \] Substituting for \( I \): \[ B (2 \pi r) = \mu_0 \left( \frac{\pi k r^4}{2} \right) \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( B \) Now, we can solve for \( B \): \[ B (2 \pi r) = \frac{\mu_0 \pi k r^4}{2} \] Dividing both sides by \( 2 \pi r \): \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 k r^3}{4} \] ### Final Result The magnetic field induction at a point distance \( r \) from the axis of the conductor (where \( r < a \)) is: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 k r^3}{4} \] ---
