Related to Gauss's law (charge distribution throughout the volume of a cylinder...)
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Charge is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of an infinitely long cylinder of radius R. a)Show that at a distance r from the cylinder (r<R): E= (ρ*r)/2ε° where ρ is the volume charge density and (b) write and for E when r>R 2. Relevant equations 3. The attempt at a solution hey guys...i was able to prove the first part: as q= ρv= ρ∏r^2 * L EA= Q/ε E= (ρ∏r^2L)/ε°2∏rL >> after cancelling i got that expression in the question... and about the b part, do we just do the same thing...which r do we substitute? Please help asap 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data 2. Relevant equations 3. The attempt at a solution 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data 2.

It's the same old Gauss law! EA = q/e0 as you say.
What are q and A now? |
