Project Problem
This design project involves the use of layers of dielectrics in a high voltage cable.
These layers have different permittivities €. Since the dielectric must withstand the
maximum potential gradient of (q/27x), a homogeneous dielectric is used
uneconomically at all radii greater than r. Therefore, a compromise can be effected
by using two or three dielectrics with different values of €.
Suppose, for example, there are three layers of dielectric of outer radii r₁, r2 and R
and of dielectric constants E1, E2, and €3 as shown in the following Figure.
