Question
HINT: For both halves of this problem, make sure to consider the stronger magnetic field closer to the wire.

Transcribed Image Text:A current I flows down the
central conductor of a long,
cylindrical coaxial cable. This
current is returned going in the
other direction through the outer
conductor. Let rị, r2, and r3 be
the relevant radii of the coaxial
cable as shown above, and
assume a homogeneous current
density in both layers of the
coaxial cable. Use Ampere's
Circuital Law to solve for the
magnetic field that exists within
the wire as a function of r.
