Homework Statement
A long round dielectric cylinder is polarized so that the vector P = ar, where 'a' is a +ve constant & 'r' is the distance from the axis.find the space density rho` of bound charge as a function of distance r from the axis.
Homework Equations
Gauss Law.
The Attempt at a Solution
I actually can't make out how to link polarization with charge density.
I am thinking of using Gauss' Law, taking a Gaussian surface of same radius as of cylinder and a length 'dh' and integrate it to full length. But I am not sure what to do.
