SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the electric field (E-field) in a cylindrical capacitor using Gauss's law. Participants clarify that the E-field is not zero between the inner and outer cylinders, as there is a nonzero enclosed charge. The radial component of the E-field (Er) is derived from the surface integral of the electric field, while the z and theta components (Ez and Eθ) are confirmed to be zero. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the symmetry of the problem and the correct application of Gauss's law.
