How Does Gauss' Law Apply to an Insulated Cylindrical Shell and Rod System?

[QUOTE="jtbell, post: 5935775, member: 20524"] Yes, the charge on each small piece of the shell produces an electric field at a point inside the shell. Nevertheless, the sum of the contributions at that point from all pieces of the shell is zero. For a spherical shell, this is part of the famous shell theorem which was first proved by Isaac Newton: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_theorem[/URL] I've never seen it done for an infinitely-long cylindrical shell, but I expect that a similar integral would give the same result for that case.
