Ampere's circuital law

Question

A long cylindrical wire of radius ‘a’ carries a current distributed uniformly over its cross section if the magnetic fields at distances 2 cm (< a) and 8 cm (> a) have equal magnitude, then 

Moderate
Solution

At r=2​cm, B1=μ02(iπa2)×2unit

and at r=8cm,B2=μ0i2π×8

Since B1=B2,μ0i2πa2×2=μ0i2π×8

a=4cm
