Homework Statement
A cylinder of radius a and length l has charge distribution
ρ=Cr2
where C is a constant and r is radial distance in cylindrical coordinates.
Derive an expression for the average charge density within the cylinder.
Homework Equations
Well, charge density given is within the volume, I think.
So for a point on the axis of the cylinder should be ρ divided by the length shouldn't it? Or is that being too simple?
The Attempt at a Solution
ρ = Cr2 / l

Can someone confirm this or point me in the right direction, please.
