A potential difference of V0 is maintained between the inner and outer conductor of a coaxial cable of length L, inner conductor radius a, and outer conductor radius b. (a) Calculate the current through the medium (∈,σ) using the analogy of ?⃗ and ?⃗⃗⃗. (b) Now, assume that V0 = 500 V, L = 50 m, a = 2 cm and b = 6 cm, and the relative permittivity and the conductivity of the medium are ∈?=3 and σ=5 μS/m, respectively. Determine the current and the power dissipated in the medium.
