5. A long cylindrical conductor of radius R carries a current I. The current density is non- uniform, and is a function of the radius according to J = br, where b is a constant. Find an expression for the magnetic field for both rR (i.e. inside and outside the conductor). Assume that R is measured from the center of the conductor.

**Problem Statement:**

A long cylindrical conductor of radius \( R \) carries a current \( I \). The current density is non-uniform, and is a function of the radius according to \( J = br \), where \( b \) is a constant. Find an expression for the magnetic field for both \( r < R \) and \( r > R \) (i.e., inside and outside the conductor). Assume that \( R \) is measured from the center of the conductor.
