In a coaxial, straght cable, the central conductor and the outer conductor carry equal currents in opposite directions.The magnetic field is non-zero.

A coaxial cable consists of a thin inner conductor fixed along the axis of a hollow outer conductor. The two conductor carry equal currents in opposite directions. Let B_1 and B_2 be the magnetic fields in the region between the conductors and outside the conductor, respectively. Then,

A coaxial cable carries the a current i in the inside conductor of radius a as shown in figure-4.80 and the outer conductor of inner radius b and outer radius c carries a current i' in opposite direction. Find the magnetic induction due to the coaxial cable at distance r from the central axis of the cable for (a) r gt a , (b) a lt r lt b and (c) b gt r gt c

Two long straight conductors are held parallel to each other 7 cm apart. The conductors carry currents of 9A and 16A in opposite directions. The distance of neutral point from the conductor carrying 16A current is

The two linear parallel conductors carrying currents in the opposite direction…………………each other.

A coaxial cable made up of two conductors. The inner conductor is solid and is of radius R_1 and the outer conductor is hollow of inner radius R_2 and outer radius R_3 . The space between the conductors is filled with air. The inner and outer conductors are carrying currents of equal magnitudes and in opposite directions. Then the variation of magnetic field with distance from the axis is best plotted as
