An alternating current l=l0cos(wt)flows down a long straight wire, and returns along a coaxial conducting tube of radius a.

(a) In what direction does the induced electric field point (radial, circumferential, or longitudinal)?

(b) Assuming that the field goes to zero as s, findE=(s,t).

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The induced electrical field point is longitudinal.

(b) The expression for the electric field is02I0sintinas.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

The alternating current, l=l0cos(t)

The radius of the tube is a.

02

Find the direction of the electrical field.

(a)

The relation between the electric field and magnetic field is given by,

E=Bt

Here, E is the electrical field and B is the magnetic field.

It is given that the alternating current flows down and a long wire and return along a coaxial conducting tube of radius a . Therefore, the magnetic field I circumferential.

The equation analogous to the relationship between the electric and magnetic field to the magnetic field and current is given as,

B=0J

Therefore, induced electrical field point is longitudinal.

03

Calculate the expression for E(s,t).

(b)

Consider the Ampere loop outside the coaxial conducting tube.

Here l is the length of the loop, a is the radius of the tube, l is the current flowing through straight wire,

According to the stake鈥檚 theorem,

ds.(E)=E.dl

Substitute-dBdtforEinto above equation.

ds.-dBdt=E.dlddtds.B=E.dl-ddt=E.dl

The electric field inside the conductor,

localid="1657526376455" EI=-ddtB.daEI=-ddtsa02Is'Ids'E=-02dIdt(In(s'))saE=-02dIdtinas

The alternating current is given as,

I=I0cost

Differentiate the above equation with respect tot.

dIdt=-I0sint

Substitute -I0sint fordIdt into equation (1).

E=-02(-I0sint)inasE=02I0sintinas

Hence the expression for the electric field is02I0sintinas.
