2.7 Problems
2.1. Consider a two wire transmission line, where two parallel thin wires have a distance of d = 1 cm. Each conductor carries a steady current of I0 = 10 mA. The currents flow in opposite directions. The transmission line is located in the plane z = 0 and has an infinite extent in ±y-direction.
a. Draw the distribution of the magnetic field strength 
in a cross-sectional area (xz-plane).

b. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field strength H along the x-axis.
2.2. An air-filled coaxial transmission line has a solid cylindrical inner conductor of R1 = 2 mm, an outer conductor with an inner radius of R2 = 4 mm and an outer radius R3 = 5 mm. The inner and outer conductor carry steady currents I in opposite directions.
a. Determine the magnetic field strength by applying Faraday's law in integral form.
