Expert Solution
Step 1:

Given:

Charge per unit length of wire, λ=3λo.

Net charge per unit length of hollow cylinder, λ=8λo.

 

To Calculate:

(a) Charge per unit length on the inner surface of  the hollow cylinder.

(b) Charge per unit length on the outer surface of  the hollow cylinder.

(c) Electric field at a radial distance of d from the axis of the coaxial cable.
