Question

(III)

Use Ampère's law to show that the magnetic field between the conductors of a coaxial cable (Fig. ) is \(B=\mu_{0} I / 2 \pi r\) if is greater than the radius of the inner wire and less than the radius of the outer cylindrical braid.

(b) Show that \(B=0\) outside the coaxial cable.

Solution

Step 1 of 2

Ampere’s Law says that around a chosen closed loop path, the sum of each path segment  times the component of  parallel to the segment equals  times the current  enclosed by the closed path.

The current enclosed by the path is .

When r is greater than the radius of the inner wire and less than the radius of the outer cylindrical braid, the magnetic field between the conductors of a coaxial cable is:

It follows that the magnetic field is:
