A conductor is made in the form of a hollow cylinder with inner and outer radii a and b, respectively. It carries a current I, uniformly distributed over its cross section. Part A Derive an expression for the magnitude of the magnetic field in the region r

Respuesta :

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Inner radius,[tex]r_1=a[/tex]

Outer radius,[tex]r_2=b[/tex]

Current=I

a.If r<a

Consider a loop of radius r where r<a

Then, current enclosed by loop=[tex]I'=0[/tex]

Magnetic field,B=0

b.if a<r

Then, [tex]I'=I\frac{(r^2-a^2)}{b^2-a^2}[/tex]

[tex]B=\frac{\mu_0I'}{2\pi r}=\frac{\mu_0I(r^2-a^2)}{2\pi r(b^2-a^2)}[/tex]

c.r>b

Then, [tex]I'=I[/tex]

Magnetic field,[tex]B=\frac{\mu_0I}{2\pi r}[/tex]
