Two long conducting cylindrical shells are coaxial and have radii of 20 mm and 80 mm. The electric potential of the inner conductor, with respect to the outer conductor, is +600V.
In the situation provided, an electron is in circular motion around the inner cylinder in an orbit of 30mm radius. Find the speed of the electron in orbit.
-----------
So where I'm stuck is mostly just in finding the E field at said point
The electron has a force radially inward putting the electron in uniform circular motion.
Therefore:
[tex]eE=\frac{mv^{2}}{r}[/tex]
[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{erE}{m}} [/tex]
So, I can't seem to figure out how to find the e field around the point r =30mm
What I tried to do was the following
[tex]V_{a}-V_{b}=\int \vec{E} d\vec{l} [/tex]
Then I rewrote it as
[tex]-\int dV =\int \vec{E} d\vec{l} [/tex]
So [tex]E = -\frac{dV}{dl} [/tex]
However I think all I've just done is derived the gradient, and I don't know how to use this without a function.
Give me a hint on how to continue my calculation or give me an easier way to calculate E
