Question: ( a ) The current density in a cylindrical wire of radius R = 2 . 0 m m is uniform across a cross section

(a) The current density in a cylindrical wire of radius R=2.0mm is uniform across a cross section of the wire and is J=2.0105Am2. What is the current through the outer portion of the wire between radial distances R2 and R
(b) Suppose, instead, that the current density through a cross section varies with radial distance r as J=ar2, in which a=3.01011Am4 and r is in meters. What now is the current through the same outer portion of the wire?
Remember current density and current are related by
I=vec(J)*dvec(A)
