Consider a coaxial cable, which consists of a thin wire inside a thin cylindrical conducting shell, as illustrated in the figure. The central wire carries a current I, = 10 A inwards, while the outer cylindrical shell carries a curren outwards with a uniform current density Jo. The outer shell has a thickness of a = 1 mm and a radius of R = 5/3 cm. Assuming that a < R, determine the value of J, required to achieve a zero magnetic field outside the cable. [Take π = 3]
