Charge is distributed uniformly with a density $\rho$ throughout an infinitely long cylindrical volume of radius R. Show that the field of this charge distribution is directed radially with respect to the cylinder and that $$\begin{array}{ll} E=\frac{\rho r}{2 \varepsilon_{0}} & (r \leq R) \\ E=\frac{\rho R^{2}}{2 \varepsilon_{0} r} & (r \geq R) \end{array}$$
