Question

An infinite solid cylindrical conductor  has radius c and carries a current I. The current is uniformly distributed over its cross section. A coaxial infinite cylindrical conducting shell with inner radius b and outer radius a  carries the same magnitude but opposite direction current. If I= 120 A, c= 0.4 cm, b= 1.8 cm, a= 2 cm. What is the magnitude of the B-field at the distance of:

1) 0.3 cm from the center of the system.              

2) 1 cm from the center of the system.                  

87 Figure 29-87 shows a cross section of a
long conducting coaxial cable and gives its
radii (a, b, c). Equal but opposite currents i
are uniformly distributed in the two conduc-
tors. Derive expressions for B(r) with radial
distance r in the ranges (a) r < c, (b) c < r<
b, (c) b<r<a, and (d) r>a. (e) Test these
expressions for all the special cases that occur
to you. (f) Assume that a = 2.0 cm, b = 1.8
cm, c = 0.40 cm, and i = 120 A and plot the
function B(r) over the range 0<r< 3 cm.
