A coaxial cable consists of an inner wire of radius a surrounded by an outer shell of inner and outer radii b and c respectively. The inner wire carries an electric current i 0 which is distributed uniformly across cross-sectional area. The outer shell carries an equal current in opposite direction and distributed uniformly. What will be the ratio of the magnetic field at a distance x from the axis when i x < a a
Options
- Aa 2 x 2
- Bb 2 - a 2 x 2
- Cx 2 b 2 - a 2
- Dx 2 a 2
Correct answer
D. x 2 a 2
