9.2 Exercise 10

Avg difficulty 2.5

Consider a wire of a circular cross-section with a radius of R=3.00mmR = 3.00 \text{mm}. The magnitude of the current density is modeled as J=cr2=5.00×106Am4r2J = c r^{2} = 5.00 \times 10^{6} \frac{\text{A}}{\text{m}^{4}} r^{2}. What is the current through the inner section of the wire from the center to r=0.5Rr = 0.5 R?
