V of 2 parallel lines makes cylinders

[QUOTE="bowlbase, post: 4504847, member: 450969"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] Expanded from Griffith's (3rd ed) #2.47 Infinitely long wires parallel to x-axis carrying ±λ charge densities intersect the y-axis at ±a. A) Calculate V(x,y,z) if V(0,0,0)=0 B)Show that the equipotential surfaces are circular cylinders. Locate the axis and calculate the radius of the cylinder that is at potential V[SUB]0[/SUB]. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] Gauss, -∫Edl E=-∇V ?x[SUP]2[/SUP]+y[SUP]2[/SUP]=r[SUP]2[/SUP]? [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] I've found the solution to part A easily enough but I'm not sure how to approach B. I know that at the origin the potential is zero along the x-axis but I'm confused by how I should show that these are both circular cylinders. I'd post my solution for A but it's exactly the same as the solution manual so it's easy enough to find. Any help would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
