A coaxial cable consists of an inner cylindrical conductor of radius R1 = 0.040 m on the axis of an outer hollow cylindrical conductor of inner radius R2 = 0.080 m and outer radius R3 = 0.090 m

The inner conductor carries current I1 = 4.40 A in one direction, and the outer conductor carries current I2 = 7.70 A in the opposite direction. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at the following distances from the central axis of the cable?
