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.

Two parallel rods are each 0.62 m in length. They are attached at their centers to a spring that is initially neither stretched nor compressed. The spring has a spring constant of 220 N/m. When 1300 A of current is in each rod in the same direction, the spring is observed to be compressed by 2.0 cm. Treat the rods as long, straight wires and find the separation between them when the current is present. Number Units

Mechanical engineers specify a 10-cm-diameter rotating coil, and you determine that you can fit 250 turns in this coil. To charge a 12-V battery, you need a peak output of 14 V when the alternator is rotating at 1200 rpm. What do you specify for the alternator’s magnetic field?
