(a) Derive the integral form of Ampère's law from the differential form of Maxwell's equations with a time-independent magnetic field, and .
(b) Consider two perfectly-conducting concentric thin cylindrical shells of infinite length with axes along the -axis and radii and . Current flows in the positive -direction in each shell. Use Ampère's law to calculate the magnetic field in the three regions: (i) , (ii) and (iii) , where .
(c) If current now flows in the positive -direction in the inner shell and in the negative -direction in the outer shell, calculate the magnetic field in the same three regions.
