Question
An extremely long, solid nonconducting cylinder has a radius . The charge density within the cylinder is a function of the distance from the axis, given by . What is the electric field everywhere inside and outside the cylinder (far away from the ends) in terms of and ?
Solution
VerifiedStep 1
1 of 5Suppose we have a very long non conducting cylinder, with radius of and charge density of , we need to find the electric field inside and out side the cylinder, first, inside the cylinder, draw a Gauss surface (cylinder) inside the original cylinder with radius of and length of as shown in the following figure:
