Problem Statement

In a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system (x,y,z)(x, y, z)(x,y,z) in vacuum, a steady magnetic flux density B(x,y,z)\mathbf{B}(x, y, z)B(x,y,z) is distributed throughout space as follows:

B(x,y,z)=B0e−α(x2+y2)(−yi+xj)\mathbf{B}(x, y, z) = B_0 e^{-\alpha(x^2 + y^2)} (-y \mathbf{i} + x \mathbf{j})B(x,y,z)=B0​e−α(x2+y2)(−yi+xj)

where B0B_0B0​ and α\alphaα are positive constants, and i,j\mathbf{i}, \mathbf{j}i,j are unit vectors along the positive xxx- and yyy-axes, respectively.

A steady current flows through space, governed by Maxwell's equations, to produce this magnetic field distribution.

Find the total current III passing in the +z+z+z direction through the disk region SSS centered at the origin of the xyxyxy-plane with radius R=1αR = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\alpha}}R=α​1​ (defined by x2+y2≤R2x^2 + y^2 \le R^2x2+y2≤R2, z=0z = 0z=0).

The permeability of vacuum is μ0\mu_0μ0​ and eee denotes Napier's number (Euler's number).

Constraints

  • Magnetic field coefficient: B0=1.37×10−2 TB_0 = 1.37 \times 10^{-2} \text{ T}B0​=1.37×10−2 T
  • Spatial decay coefficient: α=2.50×103 m−2\alpha = 2.50 \times 10^3 \text{ m}^{-2}α=2.50×103 m−2
  • Permeability of vacuum: μ0=4π×10−7 N/A2\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ N/A}^2μ0​=4π×10−7 N/A2

Input Format

The current III is expressed using Napier's number eee as I=Xe (A)I = \frac{X}{e} \text{ (A)}I=eX​ (A), where XXX is an irreducible fraction AB\frac{A}{B}BA​ with AAA and BBB being coprime positive integers. Give the value of A+BA + BA+B as a positive integer.
