Magnetic Field Inside a ConductorThe magnetic field inside a conductor with uniform current density J = I/πR2 can be found with Ampere's Law. Inside the conductor the magnetic field B increases linearly with r. Outside the conductor the magnetic field becomes that of a straight conductor and decreases with radius. Note that the expressions for inside and outside would approach the same value at the surface if the magnetic permeability were the same. |
