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. Find an expression for its capacitance.
First, let us derive the potential difference Vab between the two conductors. The potential difference is related to the electric field by:
Vab =
Edr = -
Edr
Calculating the antiderivative or indefinite integral,
Vab = (-aaoe-r/ao + B
+ bo
By definition, the capacitance C is related to the charge and potential difference by:
