Problem

Two long parallel wires are located in a poorly conducting medium with resistivity p. The distance between the axes of the wires is equal to 1, the cross-section radius of each wire equals a. In the case a <1 find: (a) the current density at the point equally removed from the axes of the wires by a distance r if the potential difference between the wires is equal to V; (b) the electric resistance of the medium per unit length of the wires.
