When a wire carries an AC current with a known frequency, you can use a Rogowski coil to determine the amplitude Imax of the current without disconnecting the wire to shunt the current through a meter. The Rogowski coil, shown in Figure P30.8, simply clips around the wire. It consists of a toroidal conductor wrapped around a circular return cord. Let n represent the number of turns in the toroid per unit distance along it. Let A represent the cross-sectional area of the toroid. Let I(t) = Imax sin ωt represent the current to be measured. (a) Show that the amplitude of the emf induced in the Rogowski coil is

Determine the inductance of the system. Hint: Use Ampres law to write an expression for the magnetic field in the region between the cables, a distance r from the axis of the cables. Then calculate the magnetic flux through a narrow rectangular region between the cables such that the Field is perpendicular to the area everywhere.
