Chapter 22, Problem 52P
Your radio station needs a new coaxial cable to connect the transmitter and antenna. One possible cable consists of a 2.0-mm-diameter inner conductor and an outer conductor with diameter 1.6 cm and negligible thickness (Fig. 22.24): the maximum safe potential difference between the conductors is 2 kV. In your application, the conductors carry charge densities ± 62 nC/m. Will this cable work for you?
