A small solid conductor with radius a is supported by insulating, nonmagnetic disks on the axis of a thin-walled tube with inner radius b. The inner andouter conductors carry equal currents i in oppositedirections.

Required:
a. Use Ampere's Law to find the magnetic field at any pointin the volume between the conductors.
b. Write the expression for the flux dΦB through anarrow strip of length l parallel to the axis , of width dr, at a distancer from the axis of the cableand lying in a plane containing the axis.
c. Integrate your expression from part B over the volumebetween the two conductors to find the total flux produced by acurrent i in the central conductor.
d. Use equation U=(1/2)LI2 to calculate the energy stored in the magnetic field for alength l of the cable.
