- Implementing Gauss's law on a cylinder. You're going to find the electric field at a point P due to a cylinder made of an insulating material. Again, we'll assume an infinitely long cylinder, although you can consider a section with finite length L, and radius R. Let P be a distance "D" away from the central axis of the cylinder, which has a charge density p. Make sure to keep D and R straight, in terms of which you are using where. The drawing can help. 1. Draw a suitable Gaussian surface on the picture below. P L 2. Add vectors for då of the gaussian surface, (the infinitesimal area elements) on the drawing. 3. Draw vectors for the electric field caused by L on the Gaussian surface. 4. Write down an equation for p. Plug in to a geometrical equation so that it is in terms of given variables. 5. Write down Gauss's law, and use # 4 to substitute on one side. 6. Simplify the other side of Gauss's law based on the geometry of what you did in #2 and #3. 7. Use an equation for the surface…By using Gauss's Law, show that the electric field in the space between the two conductors of a coaxial cable is given by: E(r) τρι 2πει where "-p" is the linear line charge density (Coulombs / meter) defined for the inner conductor.A hollow sphere made from a non-conducting material is shown below in cross-section. The inner radius is R1, and the outer radius is R2. The material is charged uniformly -ρ.(a) Using Gauss’ Law, find an expression in terms R1, R2, and ρ of the magnitude(measured in N/C) and the direction (away from or towards the center) of the electricfield at a distance r from the center of the sphere, for values R1 < r < R2? (Do all thiswork symbolically - don't use the values of part (b) for this part.) (b) The inner radius is R1 = 1.00 cm, and the outer radius is R2 = 4.00 cm. Thematerial is charged uniformly ρ = -1.70 nC/m3. If the electric potential is 0V infinitely faraway, what is the electric potential at the outer surface (r = R2) of the sphere? Please show full work Thank you!
