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 rp has charge -Q. The electric field E at a radial distance r from the central axis is given by the function: E = ae-T/ao + B/r + bo where alpha (a), beta (8), ao and bo are constants. Find an expression for its capacitance. First, let us derive the potential difference Vah between the two conductors. The potential difference is related to the electric field by: Vab = Edr = - Edr Calculating the antiderivative or indefinite integral, Vab = (-aage-r/a0 + B + bo By definition, the capacitance Cis related to the charge and potential difference by: C = Evaluating with the upper and lower limits of integration for Vab, then simplifying: C= Q/( (e-rb/ao - eTalao) + B In( ) + bo ( ))

Suppose we have a charge, q1=1 μC. This charge makes an electric field some distance r=73 cm away from it. Now suppose our measurement of q1 is only accurate to within 0.2 μC, and our measurement of r is only accurate to within 1.5 cm. What is the uncertainty in our field calculation due only to the uncertainty in the charge separation r? Every time I do this calculation I get a different number all of which have been wrong. I have gotten 694.06, 693.097, 46.2, .69405, and 71.56. Can you please help me with this?
