Homework Statement


Determine the insulation resistance in a coaxial cable of length L, with conductivity, as shown in Figure assume that the current density J is radial direction.

The Attempt at a Solution



so i was wondering if this approach is correct,

consider a sequence of cylindrical shells of radius r and thickness dr. Each shell has a resistance dR given by:
