    Magnetic field between non-coaxial cylinders with Ampere's law

    The question is: Between two long parallel cylinders of radius "a" and "b" (non-coaxial) and an axal separation of "c", a steady current of "I" flows. (See attachment below) Show that the inner cylinder (radius "a") has a constant magnetic field. Use Ampere's Law. [Hint: 0 = 1 + (-1)]...

    When does current cancel in Ampere's law?

    Hi all, This one's an easy one: What's the easiest way of telling whether a current is "enclosed" in a closed path or not? And how can I tell when a current effectively cancels itself out? For example, let's say I have a spherical shell with surface current density K [A/m], and I want to...

    How Does Ampere's Law Apply to a Solid Wire with Non-Uniform Current Density?

    Magnetic field due to a solid wire of current using Ampere's circuital law. Current flows with density J=J_{o}\frac{U}{r}a_{z} [A/m^2] along long solid cylindrical wire of radius a having the z-axis as its axis. Find H \oint_{c}H\cdot\,dl=\int_{s}J\cdot\,dS Am I on the right way to...

    Magnetic field in coaxial cable using Ampere's law

    Need Help -- Ampere's Law http://www.webassign.net/pse/p30-21alt.gif Figure P30.23 is a cross-sectional view of a coaxial cable. The center conductor is surrounded by a rubber layer, which is surrounded by an outer conductor, which is surrounded by another rubber layer. In a particular...

    Displacement current and magnetic field in a charging capacitor

    A 0.230-A current is charging a capacitor that has circular plates 10.0 cm in radius. (a) If the plate separation is 4.00 mm, what is the time rate of increase of electric field between the plates? (b) What is the magnitude of the magnetic field between the plates 5.00 cm from the...

    Calculating Magnetic Field Inside a Toroidal Sample Using Ampere's Law

    Can someone help me with this please? Consider a toroidal sample of magnetic material wound, uniformly, with coils of wire that carry a current I. If the total number of coils is N and the relative permeability of the material is μr, calculate the magnetic field B, inside the toroid at radius...

    Undergrad Why does Ampere's law give the same result for finite and infinite conductors?

    If we want to find out the net magnetic field on a point near a conducting wire , we use ampere's law by take a closed surface in form of A CIRCLE...with radius equal to the distance of the point fromt he where...but where ampere fails is that it gives the same result for both a finite...
