SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the electric field of a uniformly charged non-conducting cylinder with radius R, surrounded by a concentric cylindrical tube with inner radius R3, both having uniform volume charge densities. The electric field needs to be determined for four distinct regions: (a) 0 PREREQUISITES

  • Understanding of Gauss's Law in electrostatics
  • Familiarity with electric field concepts
  • Knowledge of volume charge density
  • Basic calculus for integration in electric field calculations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the application of Gauss's Law in cylindrical symmetry
  • Learn how to calculate electric fields from volume charge densities
  • Explore the concept of electric field lines and their behavior around charged objects
  • Investigate the effects of multiple charge distributions on electric fields
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, educators, and anyone interested in electrostatics and electric field calculations, particularly in the context of charged cylindrical objects.

Hello, people, it would be great if you can answer this particular physics question.

A very long solid non conducting cylinder Radius R is uniformly charged with a Volume charge density. It is surrounded by a concentric cylinder tube of inner radius R3 as shown in Figure, and it also carries a uniform volume charge density?

Determine the electric field as a function of the distance r from the center of the Cylinder for :

a) 0<r<R1
b) R1<r<R2
c)R2<r<R3
d)R3<r

Hi and welcome to PF.
You have to show some attempt in order to get help. Where are you stuck exactly? Do you know Gauss's law?
