4. An infinitely long transmission line whose cross section in Figure 2 consisting of two
concentric cylinders having their axes along the z-axis. The inner conductor has radius, a
and carries current I while the outer conductor has inner radius, b and thickness, t carries
return current, -I. Assuming the current is uniformly distributed in both conductors,
determine the expression of H by applying Ampere’s Law along the Amperian path of
the following regions:

i. 0≤ρ≤a
ii. a≤ρ≤b
iii. b ≤ p ≤ b+t
iv. ρ ≥ b+t
