Suppose a capacitor consists of two coaxial thin cylindrical conductors. The inner cylinder of radius ra has a charge of +Q, while the outer cylinder of radius rh has charge -Q. The electric field E at a radial distancer from the central axis is given by the function: E = ae-r/ao + B/r + bo where alpha (a), beta (B), ao and bo are constants.
