What is the Attempt at a Solution?

In summary, the question is asking for the radius of the inner conductor of a coaxial cable in order to maintain an inductance per unit length of 55 per meter, given that the outer conductor has a radius of 3.5. The equations used to solve this problem were not provided. There are also some clarifying questions about the specific units and type of value being asked for.

Can you show how you got that answer? And the equations you used to get it?

I have some questions about your question:
  • The cable radius is 3.5 what?
  • Is it asking for inductance or capacitance per unit length?
 

Related to What is the Attempt at a Solution?

1. What is the definition of inductance in a coaxial cable?

Inductance is a measure of the ability of a coaxial cable to store energy in the form of a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it. It is typically measured in units of Henrys (H).

2. How does the inductance of a coaxial cable affect its performance?

The inductance of a coaxial cable can affect its performance in several ways. It can impact signal loss, impedance, and frequency response. A higher inductance can result in higher signal loss and decreased performance at higher frequencies.

3. What factors can affect the inductance of a coaxial cable?

The inductance of a coaxial cable can be affected by its physical dimensions, such as the diameter and length of the inner and outer conductors. It can also be influenced by the dielectric material used between the conductors and the presence of other nearby conductive materials.

4. How can the inductance of a coaxial cable be measured?

The inductance of a coaxial cable can be measured using specialized equipment such as an inductance meter or an LCR meter. It can also be calculated using the cable's physical dimensions and the properties of the materials used.

5. Can the inductance of a coaxial cable be adjusted?

The inductance of a coaxial cable can be adjusted by changing its physical dimensions or the materials used in its construction. However, this should only be done by experienced professionals as it can significantly impact the cable's performance and may require specialized equipment.
