A solid cylindrical conductor of radius ...

A solid cylindrical conductor of radius `R` carries a current along its length.The current density `J_(1)` however, is not unifrom over the cross section of the conductor but is a function of the radius according to `J=br`, where `b` is a constant.the magnetic field `B` at `r_(1) lt R` is `(mu_(0)b r_(1)^(2))/N`.Then find value of `N`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( N \) in the expression for the magnetic field \( B \) at a distance \( r_1 \) from the center of a solid cylindrical conductor carrying a non-uniform current density \( J = br \). Here are the steps to arrive at the solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Current Density The current density \( J \) is given by: \[ J = br \] where \( b \) is a constant and \( r \) is the radial distance from the center of the cylinder. ### Step 2: Calculate the Differential Current Element To find the total current flowing through a radius \( r_1 \) (where \( r_1 < R \)), we consider a thin cylindrical shell of radius \( r \) and thickness \( dr \). The area \( dA \) of this shell is: \[ dA = 2\pi r \, dr \] The differential current \( dI \) flowing through this area is: \[ dI = J \cdot dA = (br) \cdot (2\pi r \, dr) = 2\pi b r^2 \, dr \] ### Step 3: Integrate to Find the Total Current \( I \) To find the total current \( I \) flowing through the area up to \( r_1 \), we integrate \( dI \) from \( 0 \) to \( r_1 \): \[ I = \int_0^{r_1} dI = \int_0^{r_1} 2\pi b r^2 \, dr \] Calculating the integral: \[ I = 2\pi b \int_0^{r_1} r^2 \, dr = 2\pi b \left[ \frac{r^3}{3} \right]_0^{r_1} = 2\pi b \frac{r_1^3}{3} \] Thus, the total current \( I \) is: \[ I = \frac{2\pi b r_1^3}{3} \] ### Step 4: Apply Ampère's Circuital Law According to Ampère's law, the magnetic field \( B \) at a distance \( r_1 \) from the center of the cylinder can be expressed as: \[ \oint B \cdot dl = \mu_0 I \] The left side of the equation simplifies to \( B \cdot 2\pi r_1 \) (since \( B \) is constant along the circular path): \[ B \cdot 2\pi r_1 = \mu_0 I \] Substituting \( I \): \[ B \cdot 2\pi r_1 = \mu_0 \left( \frac{2\pi b r_1^3}{3} \right) \] Dividing both sides by \( 2\pi r_1 \): \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 b r_1^2}{3} \] ### Step 5: Compare with Given Expression The problem states that the magnetic field \( B \) at \( r_1 \) is also given by: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 b r_1^2}{N} \] By comparing the two expressions for \( B \): \[ \frac{\mu_0 b r_1^2}{3} = \frac{\mu_0 b r_1^2}{N} \] We can cancel \( \mu_0 b r_1^2 \) (assuming \( r_1 \neq 0 \)): \[ \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{N} \] Thus, we find: \[ N = 3 \] ### Final Answer The value of \( N \) is: \[ \boxed{3} \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( N \) in the expression for the magnetic field \( B \) at a distance \( r_1 \) from the center of a solid cylindrical conductor carrying a non-uniform current density \( J = br \).
