Question: A long wire ( radius , R = 2 5 . 0 m m ) with it's axis aligned with the z - axis carries

A long wire (radius,R=25.0mm) with it's axis aligned with the z-axis carries a non-uniform current density. Assume the current travels in the +z direction (out of the page). The current density increases with the distance from the center of the wire. The current density in (Ampsm2) is given by: J(r)=4r, where r is the radial distance from the center of the wire, given in meters.
(1) For point p1=15.0mm on the x-axis (inside the wire):
(a) Find Ienclosed : the current enclosed by the Amperian Loop of radius 15.0 mm centered on the z-axis. In this case, note that the current density is not constant so: Ienclosed=jdA.
(b) Use Ampere's Law to find the magnetic field at point p1. Please provide your answer as a vector.
(2) For point p2=50.0mm(outside the wire):
(a) Use Ampere's Law to find the magnetic field at point p2. Please provide your answer as a vector.
(b) Evaluate the line integral around the Amperian loop of radius 50.0 mm centered on the z-axis: ovec(B)*vec(dl)
(3) For point p3=60.0mm(outside the wire):
(a) Use Ampere's Law to find the magnetic field at point p3. Please provide your answer as a vector.
(b) Evaluate the line integral around the Amperian loop of radius 60.0 mm centered on the z-axis: ovec(B)*vec(dl)
