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.

Two electrons are shot out of a double-barreled particle accelerator to the right, one after the other, and move on parallel trajectories. The electron on the top trajectory is fired after the one on the bottom. The top electron is not affected by any outside fields. The bottom electron is affected by a uniform magnetic field, of 2.5T, that acts perpendicularly to the path of the electron. Both electrons begin at rest before being acted upon by a potential difference of 12 V. If the electrons are fired with a distance of 46600 nm of separation, will the electrons collide in a head-on collision after the electron on the bottom is impacted by the magnetic field? Please provide a step by step solution. Thank you in advance.
