Q.

A current I flows along the length of a thin walled, long metallic hollow cylinder of radius R, distributed uniformly on its surface. If the pressure on the wall is P=(μ0I2π2R2)×(1x). Find the value of x.


Ans.

dF=μ02πa(i2πRdx)2l=μ02π×2R·i24π2R2·dx·dx·l

Pressure on the element

=μ02π·2R·i2 dx4π2R2·dx·ldx·l
