Question: A long, straight cylindrical conductor of radius R carries a uniformly distributed current III in the z - direction. Surrounding this conductor is a hollow

A long, straight cylindrical conductor of radius R carries a uniformly distributed current III in the z-direction. Surrounding this conductor is a hollow cylindrical shell with an inner radius 2R and an outer radius 3R. The hollow shell carries a uniformly distributed current I (in the opposite direction). Assume both currents are distributed uniformly over the respective cross-sectional areas.
(b) Sketch the magnitude of the magnetic field Bas a function of r.
(c) Discuss the physical implications of reversing the direction of the current in the outer hollow shell.
