Coaxial cable is used in applications requiring the propagation of high-frequency signal. Such cable consists of a solid conducting cylinder as the inner conductor and a solid conducting cylindrical shell as the outer conductor. A dielectric fills the region between these conductors. Consider the RG-59/U coaxial cable that is commonly used to connect a television/internet equipment. It has an inner conductor with a diameter of 0.584 mm, dielectric filler with a dielectric constant of K = 1.20, and an outer conductor with an inner diameter of 3.7084 mm. Assuming that these conductors are very long, calculate the capacitance per metre of the RG-59/U coaxial cable. Include a derivation of an equation for the capacitance per unit length of the coaxial cable and then use this equation to calculate your answer. (As discussed in class, assign a charge +Q and voltage V to the inner conductor and a charge -Q and 0 V to the outer conductor, solve for the voltage V, and then compute the capacitance as C = Q/V.)
