Transmission line: leakage current differential equation

[Granger]

Homework Statement

I have a coaxial cable with internal conductor of radius r1 and external conductor of radii r2 and r3. The material of the conductors has a conductivity $\sigma_1$. Between the conductors there is a imperfect dielectric of conductivity $\sigma_2$.

Consider the approximation that cable conductors are perfect (that is, cable voltage U is constant along the longitudinal coordinate z). Determine the evolution of the cable current intensity along z, a consequence of the leakage currents crossing the imperfect dielectric.

Homework Equations

3. The Attempt at a Solution [/B]
So, my attempt was to use the fundamental equation div J = 0. By applying the divergence in cylindrical coordinates, you obtain $\frac{dJ_y}{dy}=0$. I thought about now integrating over a section of the cable I obtain $\frac{dI}{dy}=K$. My question now is how do I prove that this constant should be equal to GU, where G is the per-unit length transverse conductance of the dielectric medium.

I'm only having trouble in that last step of the derivation. Can someone help me?

Really can't anyone help me? I've been around this problem for an entire day I'm losing my mind with this, it must be a simple math trick I have no freaking idea about...

I can't except except to recommend that you make imore readable by using ## (or maybe $$) in place of $ everywhere so your text will look like above
