Question

Consider the infinitely long, cylindrically symmetric configuration, shown on the right, which consists of a solid inner conductor of radius a, and an outer conducting shell with inner radius b and an outer radius c. The inner conductor has a linear charge density (charge per unit length) ? as does the outer conducting shell. What type of Gaussian surface would work best to determine the electric field associated with this object?

A. A circle

B. A box with arbitrary length sides

C. A cylinder of arbitrary length

D. An infinite plane

E. A cylinder of arbitrary cross sectional area

F. A sphere
