    This exercise is incomplete, therefore the complete exercise says so: A long, straight wire of radius R carries a steady current I that is uniformly distributed through the cross section of the wire. Calculate the magnetic field a distance r from the centre of the wire in the regions r>=R and r
    The answer are

    B = (μo*I) / 2pi*r, this is for r> = R

    B = ((μo*I*r) / (2pi*R^2)), this for r
    Explanation:

    The total current that runs through the circle is equal to I and if we use Ampere's law we are left with an expression:

    ∮B ds = B∮ds = B (2pi*r) = μo*I

    Solving for B, we have:

    B = (μo*I) / 2pi*r, this is for r> = R

    If the interior of the cable, r
    I'/I = (pi*r^2) / pi*R^2

    Clearing I':

    I' = (r^2*I) / R^2

    Applying Ampere's law:

    ∮B ds = B (2pi*r) = μo*I' = μo * ((r^2*I) / R^2)

    Solving for B, we have the requested expression:

    B = ((μo*I*r) / (2pi*R^2)), this is for r
