Thermocoax is a type of coaxial cable used for high-frequency filtering in cryogenic quantum computing experiments. Its stainless-steel shield has an inner diameter of 0.350 mm, and its Nichrome conductor has a diameter of 0.170 mm. Nichrome is used because its resistance does not change much in going from room temperature to near absolute zero. The insulating dielectric is magnesium oxide (MgO), which has a dielectric constant of 9.70. Calculate the capacitance per meter of Thermocoax.
In the figure R1 - 4.78 0, R2 - 14.3 0, and the ideal battery has emf E = 11.8 V. (a) What is the magnitude of current iz? (b) How much
energy is dissipated by all four resistors in 0.817 min?
