Answer

From Gauss's law for magnetism, the flux through S1 is equal to that through S2. Then we have : $\ {phi (S1) = phi (S2)}$

Work Step by Step

The portion of xz plane that lies whitin the cylinder. Here the normal direction of S2 is +y; Therefore: $\ {phi (S1) = phi (S2)}$ --> $\int \limits_{-r}^{r} B(x)Ldx$ = $2\int \limits_{-r}^{r} B_{left}(x)Ldx$ We also know that: $B_{left}(x)$= $\frac {\mu i} {2 \pi}\frac{1}{2r-x}$ So, we have finally: $2\int \limits_{-r}^{r} B_{left}(x)Ldx$ =$\frac {\mu I L}{\pi}$ Ln(3)
