Question

A straight circular plastic cylinder of length L and radius R (where R << L) is irradiated with a beam of protons so that there is a total excess charge Q distributed uniformly throughout the cylinder. Find the electric field inside the cylinder, a distance r from the center of the cylinder far from the ends, where r < R. (Enter an expression for the magnitude. Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: ?0.) E =

Step 1

We know that the charge density (ρ) is given by the total charge (Q) divided by the volume (V) of the cylinder. The volume of the cylinder is given by V = πR^2L. So, the charge density is: ρ = Q / (πR^2L) Show more…
