The central conductor and the outer conductor carry an equal current i in opposite directions. However, the magnitude of current density in the inner conductor is expressed by J=kr where k is an appropriate constant. Derive an expression for the magnetic field at all points (r<a, a<r<b, b<r<c, r>c)Derive an expression for current density in the outer conductor.Show that each boundary is matched.12First, r<=aAt r=a, total current is i so i=J*AJ=ka and A=a2 so i=ka3 or k=i/a3 Using RH rule, with our thumb pointing in direction of current, our fingers are matching direction of integration so this is a positive direction aiaaiBaratariBarirBarirairkrJAirBsdBisdBenclosedenclosed2222*2032032033033332013Next, a<=r<b biBaiBbrataratriBiirBsdBisdBenclosedenclosed2222000014b<=r<=cJ’=-i/AA=(c2)-(b2)J’=-i/[(c2)-(b2)] 022222222002222022220bcbciicBbratbibbbciibBbratbrbciirB 2222022220002202'2''2brbciirBbrbciiiirBbrAAJiiiirBsdBisdBenclosedenclosed15r>c 0020BiiirBsdBisdBenclos edenclosedRecall for a coaxial cable with equal static charges, E=0 outside as
