Consider two very long, straight, and hollow tubes (cylindrical shape) placed coaxially(one surrounding the other). Both tubes are made of conducting material and the shell between them has air. The radius of the inner tube is d1", and that of the outer tube is d2. BOTH tubes have a length "L". What is the Capacitance of this system? Be sure to show steps.
