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.

An electron and a proton are released fromrest in space, far from any other objects. The particles move towardeach other, due to their mutual electrical attraction. (a) Whenthey meet, is the kinetic energy of the electron greater than, less than, or equal to the kinetic energy of the proton? (b) Choose thebest explanation from among the following:I. The proton has the greater mass. Since kinetic energy is proportional to mass, it follows that the proton will have thegreater kinetic energy.II. The two particles experience the same force, but the lightelectron moves farther than the massive proton. Therefore,the work done on the electron, and hence its kinetic energy,is greater.III. The same force acts on the two particles. Therefore, they willhave the same kinetic energy and energy will be conserved.
