An infinite cylinder of radius $R = 18.8 \, m$, has a volume charge density of $\rho(r) = 9.7r \times 10^{-12} \, C/m^3$ Using Gauss's law, what is the electric field (in N/C) at a distance of $r = 9.1 \, m$ from the cylinder's axis.

Step 1
We need to find the electric field at a distance \( r = 9.1 \, \text{m} \) from the axis of an infinite cylinder with a given volume charge density \( \rho(r) = 9.7r \times 10^{-12} \, \text{C/m}^3 \). Show more…

An infinitely long, solid cylinder of radius $R=9.00 \mathrm{~cm},$ with a uniform charge per unit of volume of $\rho=6.40 \cdot 10^{-8} \mathrm{C} / \mathrm{m}^{3},$ is centered about the $y$ -axis. Find the magnitude of the electric field at a radius $r=4.00 \mathrm{~cm}$ from the center of this cylinder.

An infinitely long solid cylinder of radius 19.0 cm has a non-uniform volume charge density of Ï = 4r^3, where Ï is in C/m^3 when r is in meters. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field at a distance of 10.00 cm from the axis of the cylinder.
