Let's say we have a coaxial cable with a 2d rectangular surface lying between the inner and outer conductors and running the length of the cable. I'm trying to understand why the magnetic flux through this surface only includes the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through the center conductor and not the outer conductor. I'm assuming the fields from the current running through the outer conductor cancel out somehow. Is it just that simple?
