Magnetic forces can be used to accelerate projectiles to very high speeds in a so-called railgun. In the simplified version shown below, a voltage source drives current down two parallel ideal wires to a section of metal in contact with both wires.  The metal has a resistance 0.6 mΩmΩ  and weights 6 grams.  We assume that the contacts between the wires and the section of metal are friction-less and that the metal can slide along the wires for a total distance of 1 m before exiting the railgun as a projectile.  Our goal is to calculate what voltage that will cause the metal projectile to leave the railgun at the speed of sound (343 m/s), assuming it starts from rest.  First, what constant force (in N) will accelerate the rod to the speed of sound in 1 m?  Give your answer to 3 significant digits. Next, which voltage V will generate the necessary current to create this constant force? Give your answer to 3 significant digits.

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.
