A hollow metal cylinder has inner radius a, outer radius b, length L, and conductivity σ. The current I is radially outward from the inner surface to the outer surface.
Find an expression for the electric field strength inside the metal as a function of the radius r from the cylinder's axis.
Evaluate the electric field strength at the inner and outer surfaces of an iron cylinder if a = 0.50 cm , b = 2.2 cm , L = 10 cm, and I = 23 A
An infinite non-uniform cylindrical conductor is made up of different materials that causes the conductor to have different current densities depending on the radius. The overall radius of the conductor is 17.26 meters. For the region where the radius ρ less than 2.63 meters, the current density is 13.43 amperes per square meter. For the region where the radius ρ from 2.63 meters to 6.39 meters, the current density is -27.63 amperes per square meter. Finally, for the region in the conductor where radius ρ is greater than 6.39 meters, the current density is 39.19 amperes per square meter. Find the magnetic field intensity, in ampere-turns per meter, at a distance 13.86 meters from the axis of the conductor.
A cylindrical copper conductor with temperature coefficient 4.3x10^-3 K^-1 at room temperature (20 degrees C) has
radius 3.0 cm. The magnitude of the electric inside the conductor obeys the relation (6.0 V/m^2)r and points in the same
direction that the current travels. If you decrease the temperature to 10 degrees C, what is the current flowing through
the conductor?
