Textbook Question

Chapter 25, Problem 72PQ

A coaxial cable is formed by a long, straight wire and a hollow conducting cylinder with axes that coincide. The wire has charge per unit length λ = 2λ₀, and the hollow cylinder has net charge per unit length λ = 3λ₀. Use Gauss’s law to answer these questions: What are the charges per unit length on

a. the inner surface and
b. the outer surface of the hollow cylinder?
c. What is the electric field a radial distance d from the axis of the coaxial cable?
