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.

Question

### Understanding the Magnetic Force on a Current-Carrying Wire

In the diagram below, a permanent magnet is depicted with its magnetic field lines. A wire is shown carrying an electric current to the right. The problem asks to determine the direction of the magnetic force on the wire at point B based on the magnetic field and current direction. This concept is key in electromagnetism, particularly in applications such as electric motors and generators.

#### Diagram Breakdown

The provided diagram includes:
1. **Magnetic Field Lines**: These lines illustrate the magnetic field emanating from the North (N) pole of the magnet and curving towards the South (S) pole.
2. **Current-Carrying Wire**: The wire, indicated by a gray line, carries an electric current to the right, denoted by the arrow labeled \(I\).
3. **Key Points (A, B, C, D)**: Marked positions around the wire indicate where the direction of the magnetic force can be evaluated.

#### Determining the Magnetic Force Direction

According to the right-hand rule (Fleming's Left Hand Rule for motors):
- The thumb points in the direction of the current (\(I\)).
- The fingers point in the direction of the magnetic field (from North to South).
- The palm shows the direction of the magnetic force (\(F\)).

Given:
- Current direction: To the right.
- Magnetic field direction at point B: From North to South.

With these orientations, use the right-hand rule to find the force direction at point B.

#### Answer Choices

The direction of the magnetic force on this wire at point B is best represented by:
1. ← (left)
2. → (right)
3. ↓ (down)
4. ↑ (up)
5. Zero
6. None of these

**Note**: After applying the right-hand rule correctly, select the appropriate option representing the force's direction.

#### Educational Insights

Understanding the interaction between magnetic fields and electric currents is essential in the study of electromagnetism. This principle is applied in devices like motors, where the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field results in motion, making it instrumental in converting electrical energy to mechanical energy.

You are assigned the job of building a very sensitive magnetic scale. Objects are hung from a horizontal rod through which an electric current is directed from left to right. The rod is loosely attached to a pair of vertical rails that allow it to slide up and down with almost no resistance. The entire scale is placed in an external magnetic field, and the current is adjusted until the rod and object levitate, balancing the downward gravitational force with an upward magnetic force. B? 1. In which direction must the external magnetic field point in order for your scale to work? 2. What current is needed to balance the scale if the combined mass of the rod and object is 1 kg, the length of the wire is 1 meter, and the magnitude of the external magnetic field is 0.1 Tesla?
