Chapter 31, Problem 50CP
In earlier times when many households received nondigital television signals from an antenna, the lead-in wires from the antenna were often constructed in the form of two parallel wires (Fig. P31.50). The two wires carry currents of equal magnitude in opposite directions. The center-to-center separation of the wires is w, and a is their radius. Assume w is large enough compared with a that the wires carry the current uniformly distributed over their surfaces and negligible magnetic field exists inside the wires. (a) Why does this configuration of conductors have an inductance? (b) What constitutes the flux loop for this configuration? (c) Show that the inductance of a length x of this type of lead-in is

- Chapter 32, Problem 006 A capacitor with square plates of edge length L is being discharged by a current of 0.59 A. The figure is a head-on view of one of the plates from inside the capacitor. A dashed rectangular path is shown. If L = 8.3 cm, W = 5.1 cm, and H = 2.4 cm, what is the value of ф8-ds around the dashed path?arrow_forwardCoaxial cables are used extensively for cable television and other electronic applications. A coaxial cable consists of two concentric cylindrical conductors. The region between the conductors is completely filled with polyethylene plastic as shown in 26.8a. Current leakage through the plastic, in the radial direction, is unwanted. (The cable is designed to conduct current along its length, but that is not the current being considered here.) The radius of the inner conductor is a = 0.500 cm, the radius of the outer conductor is b = 1.75 cm, and the length is L = 15.0 cm. The resistivity of the plastic is 1.0 x 1013 Ω ⋅ m. Calculate the radial resistance of the plastic between the two conductors.arrow_forwardA portion of a long, cylindrical coaxial cable is shown in the figure below. An electrical current I = 3.0 amps flows down the center conductor, and this same current is returned in the outer conductor. Assume the current is distributed uniformly over the cross sections of the two parts of the cable. The values of the radii in the figure are r1 = 1.5 mm, r2 = 4.0 mm, and r3 = 7.0 mm. Using Ampere’s Law, find the magnitude of the magnetic field at the following distances from the center of the inner wire: a. 1.0 mm. b. 3.0 mm. c. 5.5 mm. d. 9.0 mm.arrow_forward
