Answer:
Inner radius = 2 mm
Explanation:
In a coaxial cable, series inductance per unit length is given by the formula;
L' = (µ/(2π))•ln(R/r)
Where R is outer radius and r is inner radius.
We are given;
L' = 50 nH/m = 50 × 10^(-9) H/m
R = 2.6mm = 2.6 × 10^(-3) m
Meanwhile µ is magnetic constant and has a value of µ = µ_o = 4π × 10^(−7) H/m
Plugging in the relevant values, we have;
50 × 10^(-9) = (4π × 10^(−7))/(2π)) × ln(2.6 × 10^(-3)/r)
Rearranging, we have;
(50 × 10^(-9))/(2 × 10^(−7)) = ln((2.6 × 10^(-3))/r)
0.25 = ln((2.6 × 10^(-3))/r)
So,
e^(0.25) = (2.6 × 10^(-3))/r)
1.284 = (2.6 × 10^(-3))/r)
Cross multiply to give;
r = (2.6 × 10^(-3))/1.284)
r = 0.002 m or 2 mm
