In a coaxial cable carrying direct current to a load, the energy travels

  • A.through the dielectric between the conductors
  • B.along the inside of the centre conductor
  • C.along the outer surface of the outer conductor
  • D.equally divided between the two conductors

Answer: A

The Poynting vector is axial and non-zero only where both a radial electric field and a circumferential magnetic field exist, which is the dielectric. Integrating it over the annular cross-section gives exactly the product of the voltage and the current.
