Tutorial 3 Solutions
1. A long coaxial cable carries current I (the current flows down the surface of the inner
cylinder of radius a, and back along the outer cylinder of radius b). The two
conductors are maintained at a potential difference V.
(a) Find the energy stored in a section of length l.
(b) Calculate the power transported down the cable.
Solution

The magnetic field is due to current I. There are surface charges residing on the
surface of the inner core due to current I, giving rise to a radial electric field E. The
exact value of  is however a complicated function of how I distributes over the
material surface. Here we simply assume that the surface charge is per unit length.

So P = IV as in Poynting theorem, electromagnetic work is done by the fields as
Joules heating. The Poynting vector S is radially inward, and the total energy
crossing into the surface of the wire is found by integrating over the surface of the
wire:

The planes of the two loops are parallel, and perpendicular to the common axis.
(a) Suppose current I flows in the big loop. Find the flux through the little
loop. The little loop is so small that you may consider the field of the big
loop to be essentially constant.
(b) Suppose current I flows in the little loop. Find the flux through the big

3. A very long solenoid of radius a with N turns per unit length carries a current Is.
Coaxial with the solenoid is a circular conductor ring of radius b (b >> a) and
resistance R. When the current in the solenoid varies, a current Ir is induced in the
ring.
(a) Calculate Ir in terms of dIs/dt.
(b) Show by calculating the Poynting vector that the power Ir2R delivered to the
ring must have come from the solenoid.

Assuming that B is nearly uniform across the cross-section (and same as B on the z-axis)
of the solenoid, the Poynting vector at the surface at a distance z above (a ring of the
solenoid in blue color, or below) the plane of the outer ring is:

Note in calculating S, we used the E due to Is but the radiating B was evaluated as due to
Ir, rather than due to Is. Hence the proof presented is not quite air-tight.
Total power from entire length of the solenoid is a sum of all the solenoidal rings.
