A coaxial cable consists of a solid inner conductor of radius R1, surrounded by a concentric cylindrical tube of inner radius R2 and outer radius R3. The conductors carry equal and opposite currents I distributed uniformly across their cross-sections. Determine the magnetic field at a distance R from the axis for:

a) R < R1,
b) R1<R<R2,
c) R2<R<R3,
d) R> R3.
