An infinite solid cylinder with radius R, prescribed uniform volume charge density ρ, and angular velocity ωz^ has current density J=ρωrϕ^​. Treat a shell at radius a and thickness da as a solenoid carrying surface current ρωada. With no applied background magnetic field and permeability μ,
B(r)={2μρω​(R2−r2)z^,0,​r<R,r>R.​

The same result follows from Ampère's circuital law, since −dBz​/dr=μρωr inside.
