A long cylindrical insulating shell has an inner radius of a=1.43 m and an outer radius of b=1.63 m. The shell has a constant charge density of 1.6×10⁻⁹ C/m³. The picture shows an end-on cross-section of the cylindrical shell.

A) What is the magnitude of the electric field at a distance of r=1.89 m from the axis?

for this I got 33.939 N/C which was wrong.

C) If we take the potential at the axis to be zero, what is the electric potential at the outer radius of the shell?

for this I got 3.463 V which was wrong

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given Data:

The inner radius of a long cylindrical insulating shell $a = 1.43 m$

The outer radius of a long cylindrical insulating shell $b = 1.63 m$

Volume charge density of shell $ρ_{c} = 1.6 \times 10 - 9 \frac{C}{m^{3}}$
