Along, hollow, cylindrical conductor (inner radius 3.4 mm, outer radius 7.3 mm) carries a current of 36 a distributed uniformly across its cross section. a long thin wire that is coaxial with the cylinder carries a current of 52 a in the opposite direction. what is the magnitude of the magnetic field (a) 1.1 mm, (b) 3.6 mm, and (c) 7.4 mm from the central axis of the wire and cylinder?

a.

b.

c.

Explanation:

First, look at the picture to understand the problem before to solve it.

a. d1 = 1.1 mm

Here, the point is located inside the cilinder, just between the wire and the inner layer of the conductor. Therefore, we only consider the wire's current to calculate the magnetic field as follows:

To solve the equations we have to convert all units to those of the international system. (mm→m)

μ0 is the constant of proportionality

μ0=4πX10^-7 N*s2/c^2

b. d2=3.6 mm

Here, the point is located in the surface of the cilinder. Therefore, we have to consider the current density of the conductor to calculate the magnetic field as follows:

J: current density

c: outer radius

b: inner radius

The cilinder's current is negative, as it goes on opposite direction than the wire's current.

c. d3=7.4 mm

Here, the point is located out of the cilinder. Therefore, we have to consider both, the conductor's current and the wire's current as follows:

As we see, the magnitud of the magnetic field is greater inside the conductor, because of the density of current and the material's nature.

explanation:

wind is defined by the direction it blows from.   for example, a wind blowing from north to south is called a northerly wind.
