Electromagnetism - Conductor


A coaxial cable having radii a, b, and c carries equal and opposite currents of magnitude i on the inner and outer conductors. What is the magnitude of the magnetic induction at point P outside of the cable at a distance r from the axis?

A. Zero

B.

C.

D.

E.
(GR9277 #09)
Solution:

The inner and outer conductors carry equal and opposite currents. Thus, the magnitude of the magnetic induction outside the coaxial cable is zero.

Answer: A
