A long, hollow, cylindrical conductor (with inner radius 2.0mm and outer radius 4.0mm) carries a current of 24A distributed uniformly across its cross section. A long thin wire that is coaxial with the cylinder carries a current of 24A in the opposite direction. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field (a) 1.0mm,(b) 3.0mm, and (c) 5.0mm from the central axis of the wire and cylinder?

Step by step solution

01

Given

  • Current flowing through hollow cylinder l=24A
  • Current flowing through long thin wire placed coaxial with hollow cylinder i=24Aopposite to the direction of l
  • Inner radius of cylinder ri=2mm
  • Outer radius of cylinder ro=4mm

Understanding the concept

We can find the magnitude of magnetic field by using Ampere’s law separately for a long thin wire and hollow cylinder. As the direction of currents is opposite, we can add both fields by considering the direction of the fields produced by them.

Formula:

∮B→·ds→=μ0Ienclosed

03

(a) Calculate the net magnetic field at a point p and distance r from the center of the hollow cylinder r=1.0mm

Consider Bc andBw as the magnitude of magnetic field at distancerfrom the center due to the cylinder and thin wire then

At

∮B→w·ds→=μ0Ienclosed=μ0iBw·2πr=μ0i

This gives

Bw=μ0i2πr

and

∮B→câ‹…ds→=μ0Ienclosed=μ0I=0.0B=Bc+Bw=μ0i2Ï€r=1.26×10−6×242×π×1.0×10−3B=4.8×10−3â€Í¿

Hence,B=4.8×10−3â€Í¿

04

(b) Calculate the net magnetic field at a point  p and distance r from the center of the hollow cylinder r=3.0mm

Atr=3.0×10−3″¾=3.0 mm

∮B→w·ds→=μ0Ienclosed=μ0i

This gives,

Bw=μ0i2πr

And

∮B→c·ds→=μ0Ienclosed=μ0Ienclosed

Now,

Ienclosed=I·πr2-πri2πr02-πri2

Hence,

Bc=μ02πr⋅I⋅(πr2−πri2πr02−πri2)

Since i = - I

B=2μ0i4πr⋅(r02−r2)(r02−ri2)=(2×10−7×24×(42−32))3.0×10−3×(42−22)B=9.3×10−4T

Hence,

B=9.3×10−4 T

05

(c) Calculate the net magnetic field at a point  p and distance r from the center of the hollow cylinder r=5.0mm

At r=5.0×10−3″¾=5.0″¾m

Ienclosed=i-i=0in the ampere loop is zero

HenceB=Bc+Bw=0.0T

Hence, B=0.0T
