Charge of uniform density (80 nC/m3) is distributed throughout a hollow cylindrical

region formed by two coaxial cylindrical surfaces of radii, 1.0 mm and 3.0 mm. Determine

the magnitude of the electric field at a point which is 4.0 mm from the symmetry axis.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The electric field is given by 4.5 N/C.

Explanation:

Charge density = 80 nC/m3

inner radius, r' = 1 mm

outer radius, r'' = 3 mm

distance,  r = 4 mm

The linear charge density is given by

[tex]\lambda =\rho \times\pi\times (r''^2 - r'^2)\\\\\lambda = 80\times 10^{-9}\times 3.14\times 10^{-6}\times(9-1)\\\\\lambda = 2\times 10^{-12}\\[/tex]

The electric field is given by

[tex]E = \frac{\lambda }{4\pi\varepsilon_or}\\E=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 2 \times 10^{-12}}{0.004}\\\\E=4.5 N/C[/tex]
