Consider a hollow cylindrical conductor in vacuum with its axis aligned with
the z-axis, and with a positive surface charge density σ. The direction of the
electric field is radial and its magnitude E is only a function of the distance r
from the z-axis, E = E(r).
Use Gauss' law to obtain the magnitude of the electric field at r < R and
at r ≥ R, where R is the radius of the conductor.
I don't know whether I have got my brain stuck in a rut but I can't for the life of me solve this. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated :D
