Question

A long silver rod has a radius of 3 cm and a charge density of -13μC/cm on its surface.

a) The electric field may be expressed as E=Err^where r^ is perpendicular to and points away from the symmetry axis. What is ErEr, in newtons per coulomb, at a point 5.5 cm from the symmetry axis of the rod? 

b) The electric field may be expressed as E=Err^where r^ is perpendicular to and points away from the symmetry axis. What is ErEr, in newtons per coulomb, at a point 0.75 cm from the symmetry axis of the rod? 

Expert Solution
Step 1

We know that let we have a long silver rod has a radius of r and the   linear charge density is λ on its surface 

Now The electric field due to long rod at a distance of r  is given as
