Chapter 29 Problem 87

Question

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 conductors. 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.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 29 problem number 87 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: 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 conductors. Derive expressions for B(r) with radial distance r in the ranges (a) r &lt; c, (b) c &lt; r &lt; b, (c) b &lt; r &lt; a, and (d) r&gt; 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 &lt; r &lt; 3 cm.
From the textbook chapter MAGNETIC FIELDS DUE TO CURRENTS you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
