9. The current i in a wire of circular cross section can be calculated from the current density, J, using the following equation: i =  J dA. Given that the magnitude of the current density, J = (3 x 108) r2 amps/m2 For a wire with a radius of R = 2.00 mm what is the current in the outer section from r = 0.90 R to r = R?

i = ∫J dA

A = πr²

dA = 2πr dr

i = ∫J 2πr dr

= ∫3 x 10⁸ x 2πr³ dr

=3 x 10⁸ x 2π ∫ r³ dr

integrating and taking limit from r =.9 R to R

3 x 10⁸ x 2π / 4 [ 2⁴ -.9⁴ x 2⁴] x (10⁻³) ⁴

= 4.71 x 10⁸ x. 3439 x 10⁻¹² x 2⁴

= 25.9 x 10⁻⁴ A
