Consider a long cylindrical wire carrying current along the axis of wire. The current distributed non-uniformly on cross section. The magnetic field B inside the wire varies with distance `r` from the axis as `B=kr^(4)` where k is a cosntant. The current density `J` varies with distance `r` as `J=cr^(n)` then the value of `n` is (where c is another constant).

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( n \) given the magnetic field \( B \) inside a cylindrical wire and the current density \( J \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Given Information**: - The magnetic field inside the wire is given by: \[ B = k r^4 \] - The current density is given by: \[ J = c r^n \] 2. **Apply Ampere's Law**: Ampere's Law states that: \[ \oint B \cdot dl = \mu_0 I_{\text{enclosed}} \] For a cylindrical wire, we can choose an Amperian loop of radius \( r \). 3. **Calculate the Left Side of Ampere's Law**: The line integral of \( B \) around the Amperian loop is: \[ \oint B \cdot dl = B \cdot (2\pi r) = (k r^4) \cdot (2\pi r) = 2\pi k r^5 \] 4. **Calculate the Right Side of Ampere's Law**: The enclosed current \( I_{\text{enclosed}} \) can be calculated using the current density \( J \): \[ I_{\text{enclosed}} = \int J \, dA \] The differential area element \( dA \) for a cylindrical shell is: \[ dA = 2\pi r \, dr \] Therefore: \[ I_{\text{enclosed}} = \int_0^r J \, dA = \int_0^r (c r^n) (2\pi r \, dr) = 2\pi c \int_0^r r^{n+1} \, dr \] 5. **Evaluate the Integral**: \[ \int_0^r r^{n+1} \, dr = \frac{r^{n+2}}{n+2} \] Thus, we have: \[ I_{\text{enclosed}} = 2\pi c \cdot \frac{r^{n+2}}{n+2} \] 6. **Set the Left Side Equal to the Right Side**: Now we equate the two sides of Ampere's Law: \[ 2\pi k r^5 = \mu_0 \left(2\pi c \cdot \frac{r^{n+2}}{n+2}\right) \] 7. **Cancel Common Factors**: Dividing both sides by \( 2\pi \): \[ k r^5 = \mu_0 c \cdot \frac{r^{n+2}}{n+2} \] 8. **Equate the Powers of \( r \)**: Since this equation must hold for all \( r \), we can equate the powers of \( r \): \[ 5 = n + 2 \] 9. **Solve for \( n \)**: Rearranging gives: \[ n = 5 - 2 = 3 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( n \) is: \[ \boxed{3} \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( n \) given the magnetic field \( B \) inside a cylindrical wire and the current density \( J \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Given Information**: - The magnetic field inside the wire is given by: \[ B = k r^4 ...
