2 Cylinders each of length, L, are separated by a distance d. Each has a radius, a. Use the principle of superposition to find the total electric field at a distance, r, from the 1st cylinder.
What I know so far: For One cylinder
Applying gauss law, i have E(2([tex]\pi[/tex])(r)(L) = charge enclosed/ [tex]\epsilon[/tex]0
so solving for E, E = [tex]\sigma[/tex]a/[tex]\epsilon[/tex]0r
I'm not sure how to apply the principle of superposition for both fields combined. Any advice?
