Electromagnetism}Ampere Law

Recall Ampere's Law \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{l} = \mu_0 I_{in}, where I_{in} is the current enclosed by the loop dl.

Apply it to the region between a and b, B(2\pi r) = \mu_0 I \frac{\pi r^2 l}{\pi R^2 l} \Rightarrow B = \mu_0 I \frac{r}{2 R^2 \pi}, which gives a linearly increasing field, and thus choices (D) and (E) and (A) are eliminated.

Choices (B) and (C) remain.

Apply Ampere's Law to the region outside of the outer sheath. For r>c, one has I_{in}=0 \Rightarrow B(2\pi r) = 0 \Rightarrow B=0. Choice (B) shows the behavior of zero-field outside the sheathed coax cable. Choose that.

At r=c, the field must be zero, because the inner current and the outer current cancel out.

The only graph that satisfies these two contraints is B.		Alternate Solution - Unverified

Nice solution.

For r=C, \I_{enc} =\I_{in}-\I_{out}=I-I=0		NEC

newton
2007-09-27 22:13:05		 Yes i too think so.The magnetic field linearly increases in the region 0 to a.
In the region between a and b it is linearly decreasing, B=\mu_0I/2\pir

2008-11-04 19:55:07		 Yes, the linearly increasing field is between 0 to r and not between a-b. The error needs to be corrected.
FYI,
Between a and b, B is of the form
\frac{1}{r}\(r^4-a^4)

please post a typo-alert (in the comments section of the solution) if you find other solutions with mal-formed equations. 		NEC
