In a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system (x,y,z) in vacuum, a steady magnetic flux density B(x,y,z) is distributed throughout space as follows:
B(x,y,z)=B0e−α(x2+y2)(−yi+xj)where B0 and α are positive constants, and i,j are unit vectors along the positive x- and y-axes, respectively.
A steady current flows through space, governed by Maxwell's equations, to produce this magnetic field distribution.
Find the total current I passing in the +z direction through the disk region S centered at the origin of the xy-plane with radius R=α1 (defined by x2+y2≤R2, z=0).
The permeability of vacuum is μ0 and e denotes Napier's number (Euler's number).
The current I is expressed using Napier's number e as I=eX (A), where X is an irreducible fraction BA with A and B being coprime positive integers. Give the value of A+B as a positive integer.
