TL;DR: Suppose there is a cylinder with infinity length and a radius R. At distance R/2, we have to find the electric field present inside. Confirmation needed regarding the method.

We are given volumetric charge density as ## \rho ## and we have to find the field at the distance R/2. Is my procedure valid?
