Field Inside a Thick Cylindrical Conductor

by Notetube Official82 words10 views

Solid cylinder of radius RR carrying current II uniformly: Outside (r>Rr > R): B=μ0I/(2πr)B = \mu_0 I/(2\pi r) (same as a wire). Inside (r<Rr < R): B=μ0Ir/(2πR2)B = \mu_0 Ir/(2\pi R^2) (linearly increasing). At the surface (r=Rr = R): B=μ0I/(2πR)B = \mu_0 I/(2\pi R) (maximum). For a hollow cylinder (inner aa, outer bb): inside the hole (r<ar < a): B=0B = 0. Between walls (a<r<ba < r < b): B=μ0I(r2a2)/(2πr(b2a2))B = \mu_0 I(r^2-a^2)/(2\pi r(b^2-a^2)). Outside (r>br > b): same as solid wire.
