Chapter 29 Problem 85

Question

Figure 29-86 shows a cross section of a hollow cylindrical conductor of radii a and b, carrying a uniformly distributed current i. (a) Show that the magnetic field magnitude B(r) for the radial distance r in the range b < r < a is given by (b) Show that when r = a, this equation gives the magnetic field magnitude B at the surface of a long straight wire carrying current i; when r = b, it gives zero magnetic field; and when b = 0, it gives the magnetic field inside a solid conductor of radius a carrying current i. (c) Assume that a = 2.0 cm, b = 1.8 cm, and i = 100 A, and then plot B(r) for the range 0 < r < 6 cm.

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 29 problem number 85 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Figure 29-86 shows a cross section of a hollow cylindrical conductor of radii a and b, carrying a uniformly distributed current i. (a) Show that the magnetic field magnitude B(r) for the radial distance r in the range b &lt; r &lt; a is given by (b) Show that when r = a, this equation gives the magnetic field magnitude B at the surface of a long straight wire carrying current i; when r = b, it gives zero magnetic field; and when b = 0, it gives the magnetic field inside a solid conductor of radius a carrying current i. (c) Assume that a = 2.0 cm, b = 1.8 cm, and i = 100 A, and then plot B(r) for the range 0 &lt; r &lt; 6 cm.
From the textbook chapter MAGNETIC FIELDS DUE TO CURRENTS you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
