Question
A long coaxial cable consists of an inner cylindrical conductor with radius a and an outer coaxial cylinder with inner radius b and outer radius c. The outer cylinder is mounted on insulating supports and has no net charge. The inner cylinder has a uniform positive charge per unit length ?.
Part B
Find the direction of the electric field at any point between the cylinders a distance r from the axis.
Find the direction of the electric field at any point between the cylinders a distance from the axis.
parallel cylinders' axis radially outward radially inwardExplanation / Answer
E=?/(2??r) if a?r?b and r?c
E=0 if r<a and b<r<c
