Magnetic Field Of Coaxial Cable

The word coaxial means same axis. So for a long straight cable to be coaxial, it must have concentric cylindrical shaped conductor around it. Coaxial cable (popularly called ‘coax’) has various applications ranging from current conductors to radiofrequency signal transmitters. This cable has lower emission losses and provides protection from electromagnetic interference which allows signals with less power to transmit over longer distances.For example, currents produced in the pickup of a stereo turntable generally travel to the amplifier through a coaxial cable.The self-inductance of a coaxial cable is another important characteristic, because it influences the propagation of electrical signals in the cable.

An electron moving with a velocity v=(4.0i+3.0j+2.0k)106m/s enters a region where there is a uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field. The magnetic field is given by v=(1.0i2.0j+4.0k)102T. If the electron travels through a region without being deflected, what is the electric field?
A conducting sheet lies in a plane perpendicular to a magnetic field B that is below the sheet. If B oscillates at a high frequency and the conductor is made of a material of low resistivity, the region above the sheet is effectively shielded from B . Explain why. Will the conductor shield this region from static magnetic fields?
Create Your Own Problem Consider electromagnetic fields produced by high voltage power lines. Construct a problem in which you calculate the intensity of this electromagnetic radiation in W/m2 based on the measured magnetic field strength of the radiation in a home near the power lines. Assume these magnetic field strengths are known to average less than a T. The intensity is small enough that it is difficult to imagine mechanisms for biological damage due to it. Discuss how much energy may be radiating from a section of power line several hundred meters long and compare this to the power likely to he carried by the lines. An idea of how much power this is can be obtained by calculating the approximate current responsible for T fields at distances of tens of meters.

A betatron is a device that accelerates electrons to energies in the MeV range by means of electromagnetic induction. Electrons in a vacuum chamber are held in a circular orbit by a magnetic field perpendicular to the orbital plane.

(b) Assume the radius of the orbit remains constant. Show that the average magnetic field over the area enclosed by the orbit must be twice as large as the magnetic field at the circles circumference.
