Magnetic field of a hollow cylinder#
The figure shows a cross-section of a long, hollow, cylindrical conductor of inner radius \(r_1 = {{ params_r1 }}\rm\ cm\) and outer radius \(r_2 = {{ params_r2 }}\rm\ cm\). A \({{ params_I }}\rm\ A\) current distrubted uniformly over the cross-section flows into the screen.
Part 1#
Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field at a radius \(r = {{ params_ra }}\rm\ cm\) measured from the axis of the hollow cylinder.
Answer Section#
Part 2#
Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field at a radius \(r = {{ params_rb }}\rm\ cm\) measured from the axis of the hollow cylinder.
Answer Section#
Part 3#
Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field at a radius \(r = {{ params_rc }}\rm\ cm\) measured from the axis of the hollow cylinder.
