Expert Solution
Step 1

Given the charge density of the cylinder is ρ so if Q is the net charge in the cylinder R is the Radius and L is the length of the cylinder then:

Q =ρ(πR2L) ρ =QπR2L                                                                                                                  ...1 

Now by the Gauss law the electric flux is given by:

ϕ = qinε0qin = charge inside the surfaceε0   = electrical permittivity

now let r < R

then the net charge inside the cylinder with radius r will be:

qin=ρ(πr2L)     =Qπr2LπR2Lqin= Qr2R2
