Expert Solution
Step 1

a)

Let We have a coaxial cylindrical cable that has an inner conductor of radius a and outer conductor has radius b and the length is l.  and two cylinders are connected by the battery with the potential difference between them is V, and the charge per unit length on the inner cylinder is +λ C/m and on the outer cylinder is-λ C/m

Therefore the capacitance  of the coaxial cylinder is 

C = l2Klnba ------------ eq1 

So the answer to the first part a ) is C = l2Klnba
