Spaldin, Magnetic Materials, Fundamentals and Applications, Second edition, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2011, ISBN 9780521886697 The equations specified here are derived by S. Zurek by following the Ampère's law as described in [1], eq. (1.12), p. 8, but by taking into account the current flowing in the relative area enclosed by the radius under consideration. |

$$ H(d) = \frac{I_{tot}·r^2}{2·π·d·R^2} $$ | (A/m) | Equations are valid inside as well as outside of the wire (with certain assumptions) | $$ B(d) = μ_r·μ_0·H(d) $$ | (T) |

Assumptions: current distribution is uniform, permeability is uniform and isotropic, high-frequency effects (radiation and relativistic) are negligibly small, where: $I_{tot}$ - total current (A) in the wire, $r$ - variable radius (m) within the wire from its centre such that $0 \leq r \leq R$ (and $r=d$ within the wire) , $d$ - any positive variable radius (m) from centre of wire, $R$ - outer radius (m) of the wire, $μ_r$ - relative permeability (unitless) of wire or the surrounding medium, and $μ_0$ = 4·π·10-7 H/m is the permeability of vacuum. |
