13.10 Electromagnetic Induction due to an Infinite
Cylinder in an Uniform Field
An infinitely long cylinder has its axis horizontal and is directed along the z
direction. The field is vertical due to an oscillating magnetic dipole of larger
radius such that one gets uniform vertical field at the center of the loop
