What is the magnetic field in thatregion of space?Part 1 of 3 - ConceptualizeA very large orbit radius indicates that the magnetic field in this interstellar space is a very small fraction of atesla.Part 2 of 3 - CategorizeWhen the proton, with a charge of the same magnitude as the electron charge, accelerates through a potentialdifference given in volts, the kinetic energy it receives is commonly expressed in electron volts. We will usethe energy version of the isolated system model applied to the particle and the electric field that accelerates itfrom rest to allow us to find an expression for the speed of the particle. Then we will use the particle in amagnetic field model and the particle in uniform circular motion model to find the magnetic field.Part 3 of 3 - AnalyzeBy conservation of energy for the system of proton and electric field, the kinetic energy of the proton is givenbyE =mv? = eAV,so solving for the speed, we have the following.2eAVV = VBy Newton's second law, for the circular motion of the proton in the magnetic field, we havemv2= evB sin 0,Rwhere R is the radius of the circular orbit and 0 is 90°.

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.
