Please give accurate and correct final answers to all the parts of this question with the right significant figure

The cross section of a long coaxial cable is shown in the figure, with radii as given. The linear charge density on the inner conductor is-40 nC/m and the linear charge density on the outer conductor is -80 ncim. The i ner and outer cylindrical surfaces are respectively denoted by A B C, and D, as shown = 8.85 x 10 2 C2/N m2 The radial component of the electric field at a point that 45 mm from the axis is closest to 49 mm 51 mm -3.2 104 N/C. 0 -1.6*104 N/C. +1.6 104 N/C. 0 +3.2x104 NC. zero

Explanation / Answer

Correct Ans:

-1.6 x 10^4 N/C

explanation:

Using Gauss's law

int E.dA = Q/e0

E = lambda(inner)/2 pi e0 r

E = 2 k lambda(inner)/r

E = 2 x 9 x 10^9 x -40 x 10^-9/(45 x 10^-3) = -1.6 x 10^4 N/C

Hence, E = -1.6 x 10^4 N/C
