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

[QUOTE="NFuller, post: 5935784, member: 492571"] This a special case of Newton's shell theorem. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_theorem[/URL] The theorem states that for fields with ##1/r^{2}## dependence, the field is zero for any point within a uniform spherical shell. The theorem also works for an infinite cylinder since this geometry simplifies to a 2-d sphere (a circle). The link above describes both a geometric and calculus based proof of the theorem. [/QUOTE]
