Coaxial cable.
The inner cable has a radius R1 and carries D, a current per cross
sectional area.
The outer cable is a sheath cable, very thin, and carries an equal
total current but in
the opposite direction at a radius R2. There is a spacer between
the two cables and a
rubber coating on the outside for safety purposes.
(Give answers in terms of R1, R2, D, and universal constants, plus
r only when specified)
a) Determine the total current in each cable.
b) What is the direction of the magnetic field from each wire, in
each region?
c) Determine the magnetic field in the region between the two
cables as a function
of distance from the center (r).
d) Determine the magnetic field outside the cable.
e) Determine the magnetic field at any radius (r measured from the
center) inside
the central wire. Assume permeability is still ?0.
f) Sketch a graph of the magnetic field as a function of radius (r)
in all 3 regions
using a single graph.
