Find and sketch the trajectory of the particle in Ex. 5.2, if it starts at
the origin with velocity
If B is uniform,show that works. That is, check that and. Is this result unique, or are there other functions with the same divergence and curl?
Use the Biot-Savart law (most conveniently in the form of Eq. 5.42 appropriate to surface currents) to find the field inside and outside an infinitely long solenoid of radiusR, with n turns per unit length, carrying a steady current I.

Show that the magnetic field of an infinite solenoid runs parallel to the axis, regardless of the cross-sectional shape of the coil,as long as that shape is constant along the length of the solenoid. What is the magnitude of the field, inside and outside of such a coil? Show that the toroid field (Eq. 5.60) reduces to the solenoid field, when the radius of the donut is so large that a segment can be considered essentially straight.
Prove Eq. 5.78, using Eqs. 5.63, 5.76, and 5.77. [Suggestion: I'd set up Cartesian coordinates at the surface, with Z perpendicular to the surface and X parallel to the current.]
