A long, straight conducting wire of radius R has a nonuniform current density , where is a constant. The wire carries total current I.
a. Find an expression for in terms of I and R.
b. Find an expression for the magnetic field strength inside the wire at radius r.
c. At the boundary, r = R, does your solution match the known field outside a long, straight current-carrying wire?
Determine the magnetic field direction that causes the charged particles shown in FIGURE to experience the indicated magnetic force.

A scientist measuring the resistivity of a new metal alloy left her ammeter in another lab, but she does have a magnetic field probe. So she creates a long, -diameter wire of the material, connects it to a battery, and measures a magnetic field from the surface of the wire. What is the material’s resistivity?
What are the strength and direction of the magnetic field at point P in FIGURE P29.46?

A conducting bar of length l and mass m rests at the left end of the two frictionless rails of length d in FIGURE P29.75. A uniform magnetic field of strength B points upward.
a. In which direction, into or out of the page, will a current through the conducting bar cause the bar to experience a force
to the right?
b. Find an expression for the bar’s speed as it leaves the rails at
the right end.
