Statement
9.3.21∗. Determine the magnetic field induction in a long cylindrical cavity located inside a cylindrical conductor,
if the axis of the cavity is parallel to the axis of the conductor and is located at a distance
current is distributed evenly over the cross-section of the conductor. Current density
Solution
In previous problems, we derived a formula for the induction at a distance from the axis inside a cylindrical wire:
However, we did not mention one remarkable property of this formula: since the induction is directed tangentially to the circular contours along the axis, mathematically this can be rewritten in vector form:
Let's use an equally remarkable property of the vector product:
Let's take a point at a distance x from the cavity axis; in vector form from the wire axis, it is located on the vector
