PLease help!

I know this: \[I=\int\limits_{S}^{}Jds\]

I got 50pi but the answer says 100pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It seems to be just an integral we have to plug ds=r dr dtheta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{5}\int\limits_{0}^{2\pi}J r dr d \Theta \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What shape is that surface? Is it a sphere?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If it's a sphere, then your integral should be \[ \int J R^2\sin(\theta) d\theta d\phi= 4 \pi R^2 J = 4\pi R \cdot 5 = 100\pi\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there's no actual integration required. The magnitude of the current density is constant, and everywhere perpendicular to the surface of the sphere so you just need to multiply J by the surface area of the sphere, 4 pi R^2
