Homework #4 Solution

Problem #1 (20 points) Solenoid

Solution:
in a solenoid:
We first solve for
()
=
= =

By applying Faradays Law, the potential difference is given by:

= )
(

2
2
= ( ) =

= 0 in steady state due to presence of the gap.

Problem #2 (30 points) Ulaby 5.37 (6e, 7e) (Parallel-wire transmission line inductance)

Solution:
At point P with distance , the magnetic flux density due to the two wires are:

1 =
= 2 =
,
2 2 2( )
Total magnetic flux density is then:
1 1
=
1+
2 = ( + ) =
2 2 ( )
The total flux through the area in between the two wires is given by:
/2

=
=
/2 2 ( )

1
= ( ln ) | = (ln ln )
2 2

= ln

The inductance of the parallel wires is then:

= = ln
I
And the inductance per unit length is:

= ln ln

Problem #3 (30 points) Ulaby 5.39 (6e, 7e)

Solution:
The inductance per unit length of an air-filled coaxial cable is given by
