Question

A long coaxial cable, crossection of which is shown in the figure, is made up of a cylindrical inner wire of radius a and a cylindrical shell shaped coaxial outer wire of inner radius b and outer radius c. The current density with magnitude J = Kr2/a is spread over the cross section of the inner wire where the current has out-of-page direction. Outer wire carries uniformly distributed current i = πKa 3 having into-the-page direction.

a) Find the total current of the inner wire iin in terms of ?.Find expressions for the magnitude of magnetic field,

b) inside the inner wire (r < a) 

c) between the wires (a< r< b)

d) inside the outer wire (b< r < c) 

e) outside the outer wire (r> c)  in terms of i, π, μ and r. For each case indicate the direction of the magnetic field as well.
