AI Thread Summary
A cylindrical cavity can create a constant magnetic flux density when positioned off-center in a long cylindrical conductor with uniform current density. The problem involves calculating the magnetic field (B) in the cavity, which is influenced by the displacement from the conductor's axis. Ampere's Law is suggested as a potential method for solving this, although clarity on the geometry of the setup is needed. Participants in the discussion express confusion about the problem's specifics and suggest posting it in a dedicated homework forum for more focused assistance. Overall, understanding the configuration and applying the right principles are crucial for solving the problem.

It is a physical problem.. please help~

In certain experiments it is desirable to have a region of constant magnetic
flux density. This can be created in an off-center cylindrical cavity that is
cut in a very long cylindrical conductor carrying a uniform current density.
The uniform axial current density is J=az j
Find the magnitude and direction of B in the cylindrical cavity whose axis
is dispalced that of the conducting part by a distance d


I am depressed because of this problem. I have know idea... ㅜㅜ

so... I submit this forum. please help~

Welcome to the Physics Forums, fufufuha. This sounds like a homework problem, and if it is, it should be posted in the PF Homework forums:

What textbook is this problem in? It sounds like they want you to calculate the B field inside a hollow cylindrical conductor, where there is a uniform DC current flowing up the cylinder wall. It sounds like the answer should show that the B field is fairly uniform off-axis from the center axis of the cylinder. My guess is that you can use Ampere's Law for this, but my E&M books are all at work at the moment, and I'm home...

Edit -- after re-reading your post, I don't think that I understand the geometry of the conductor and the hollow cylinder portion after all. Is there a diagram associated with this problem?

I'm sorry that I'm not good at this forum.

Anyway~ Thanks berkeman
 

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
