# Math Help - amperes law question..

1. ## amperes law question..

here is a question:
http://i25.tinypic.com/fc8rqr.jpg

there is endless cylinder i which we only see its crossection in the photo.
its radius is [tex]R_1[] a distance d from the center a cylinder with radius [tex]R_2[]
along the cylinder flows current I in a uniform way inside the page(X).
1.what is the magnetic field in x>0 region?
2.what is the magnetic field in (0, $R_1$)?

i tried to solve it by amperes law
$\oint \vec{B}\vec{dl}=\mu_0 I$
0<r<d
$\oint \vec{B}\vec{dl}=\mu_0 I\\$
$I_0=I\frac{\pi r^2}{\pi R_1^2}=I\frac{ r^2}{R_1^2}\\$
$B =\mu_0 I\frac{ r^2}{R_1^2 2\pi r}\\$

have i done the first region correctly

2. dl vector is the way we are going
but we can go clock wise and counter clock wise
and in each case i will have a different result
??
