Where Do the Factors c^2 and ab Originate in the Coaxial Cable Integral?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the derivation of the factors c² and ab in the context of a coaxial cable integral. The user successfully simplified the logarithmic expression to ln(c/a) but expressed confusion regarding the origins of the factors c² and ab. Key insights include the importance of recognizing the factors in front of logarithms and the application of the property p ln(x) = ln(x^p) to clarify the integral's components.

After working it out myself, I have the logarithim part equal to:

[ln b - lna] + [ln c - ln b] = [ln b/a + ln c/b] = ln c/a (Not sure about this statement!)

I don't understand where the c^2 and ab came from with this integral?

Any help?

Thanks!

Take a careful look at the factors in front of each logarithm (they are different by a factor of 2) and remember that p\ln(x)=\ln(x^p)
