A coaxial cable consists of two long concentric
conducting tubes of length l, the inner one of radius a and the
outer one of radius b. Assume that the zˆ direction lies along the
axis of the cable. A current, I, flows down the inner conductor in
the zˆ direction and returns in the outer conductor, where in each
case the current is uniformly spread out over the surface.
(a) Determine the magnetic field B everywhere. [5]
(b) Find the self-inductance per unit length. [5]
