Problem

A cylindrical conductor of radius aa has a hole of radius bb bored parallel to, and centered a distance dd from, the cylinder axis (d+b<ad + b < a). The current density is uniform throughout the remaining metal of the cylinder and is parallel to the axis. Use Amp\`ere's law and principle of linear superposition to find the magnitude and the direction of the magnetic-flux density in the hole.
