A certain transmission line is constructed from two thin metal "rib-bons," of width w, a very small distanceh≪w apart. The current travels down one strip and back along the other. In each case, it spreads out uniformly over the surface of the ribbon.

(a) Find the capacitance per unit length, C .

(b) Find the inductance per unit length, L .

(c) What is the product LC , numerically?[ L and C will, of course, vary from one kind of transmission line to another, but their product is a universal constantcheck, for example, the cable in Ex. 7.13-provided the space between the conductors is a vacuum. In the theory of transmission lines, this product is related to the speed with which a pulse propagates down the line: v=1/LC.]

(d) If the strips are insulated from one another by a non-conducting material of permittivity εand permeability εand permeability μ, what then is the product LC ? What is the propagation speed? [Hint: see Ex. 4.6; by what factor does L change when an inductor is immersed in linear material of permeabilityμ?]

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

The wis the width of ribbons.

The h is the separation between two ribbons.

The I is the length of the ribbon.

02

Determine the formula for value of capacitance per unit length, value of inductance per unit length, value of propagation speed and value of product.

Write the formula ofcapacitance per unit length.

C=QV …… (1)

Here, C is the capacitance and V is the voltage.

Write the formula ofinductance per unit length.

ϕ=LI …… (2)

Here, L is inductance per unit length and I is the length of the ribbon.

Write the formula ofpropagation speed.

v=1μ0ε0 …… (3)

Here,ε0 is permittivity andμ0 is permeability.

Write the formula ofpropagation speed.

L=μ³ów …… (4)

Here,μ is permeability, h is the separation between two ribbons and w is the width of ribbons.

03

(a) Determine the value of capacitance per unit length.

Now we discuss for a parallel plate capacitor.

The electric field between the plates of the capacitor is

E=σε0

The potential difference between the plates of capacitor is

V=Eh

Then V=σε0h

But role="math" localid="1657533956022" σ=Chargedensity=QwI

Then V=1ε0QwIh

Determine the capacitance per unit length.

Substitute1ε0QwIh for v into equation (1).

C=Q1ε0QwIh=ε0wIh

Therefore, the value of capacitance per unit length isC=ε0wIh .

04

(b) Determine the value of inductance per unit length.

We know that magnetic field.

B=μ0kk=Iw

Then B=μ0Iwϕ=BhI

Then =μ0IwhL

Determine inductance per unit length.

Substituteμ0IhIw forϕ into equation (2).

μ0IhIw=LIL=μ0IhIw

Then inductance per unit length.

LI=L=μ0hw

Therefore, the value of inductance per unit length is L=μ0hw.

05

(c) Determine the value of propagation speed.

Derive the propagation speed as follows:

LC=ε0wh×μ0hw=μ0ε0=4π×10-7H/m8.85×10-12C2/Nm2=1.112×10-17s2/m2

Determine the propagation speed.

Substitute LCforμ0ε0 into equation (3).

v=1LC=2.999×108m/s

Therefore, the value of propagation speed v=2.99×108m/s.

06

(d) Determine the value of product and value of propagation speed.

As a non-conducting substance with permittivity εand permeability μseparates the strips from one another as follows:

D=σE=DεE=σε

Then solve as:

C=εwhH=KB=μHB=μK

Determine propagation speed.

Substituteεforhwinto equation (4).

localid="1657535319966" LC=εμv=1εμ

Therefore, the value of propagation speed v=1εμ.
