Problem 1 – Hint 2

The following fact is needed for solving this problem: a homogeneously magnetized sphere (magnetization vector M is constant) creates an homogeneous magnetic field inside the sphere itself. There are many sources (textbooks, problem solutions) from where you can find a proof of this fact; there are different proofs, some are fairly simple. (More generally, this statement remains also valid for ellipsoids.)
