Question 1
2021 Paper 21
16A coaxial cable consists of an inner wire of radius ' ' surrounded by an outer shell of inner and outer radii ' ' and 'c' respectively. The inner wire carries an electric current , which is distributed uniformly across cross-sectional area. The outer shell carries an equal current in opposite direction and distributed uniformly. What will be the ratio of the magnetic field at a distance from the axis when (i) and (ii) ?Tap an option to check your answer.
