 Solution

Take the electric current along $+z$, and use cylindrical coordinates. A uniform current in a straight homogeneous wire hasThe local Ohm's law $\mathbf{J}=\sigma \mathbf{E}$ gives the longitudinal electric fieldFor a circular Amperian loop of radius $r\le a$, the enclosed electric current is $I_{\mathrm{enc}}=I{r}^2/a^2$. The magnetostatic Ampère law gives $2\pi r{H}_{\varphi }=I_{\mathrm{enc}}$, henceSince $\hat{\mathbf{z}}\times \hat{\mathbf{\varphi }}=-\hat{\mathbf{r}}$, the Poynting vector isIt is zero at the centre and points radially inward elsewhere. Its units are $\mathrm{W}{\mathrm{m}}^{-2}$. These are the interior fields in the long-wire approximation, neglecting end and contact effects.
