a long, thin straight wire with linear charge density λλ runs down the center of a thin, hollow metal cylinder of radius rr. the cylinder has a net linear charge density 2λ2λ. assume λλ is positive.



Answer :

The expressions for the magnitude of the electrical field strength inside the cylinder, r is,

E = λ/2ε₀πr

What is electric field?

The electric field is the field, which is surrounded by the electrical charged. the electrical field is the electric force per unit charge. Here an extended , thin straight wire with linear charge density λ runs down the middle of a thin, hollow metal cylinder of radius R.

As the electric flux is the product of electric flux and the area of the cylinder. Thus,

                    φ = E(2πrL)   .................1

This electric flux also can be given as,

                            φ = λL/ε₀ ......................2

Where, ( λ) is that the linear charge density. On comparing both the equation, we get,

Ε(2πrL) = λL/ε₀

E = λ/ 2ε₀πr

The cylinder features a net linear charge density 2λ where λ is positive. Thus for this hollow cylinder, the electrical filed can be given as,

                   E = λ/2ε₀πr

For charge inside the cylinder, where r < R, are often expressed with the following expression,

                           E = λ/2ε₀πr

Charge density :

The charge density is that the measure of electric charge per unit area of a surface, or per unit volume of a body or field. The charge density tells us what proportion charge is stored in a particular field. Charge density are often determined in terms of volume, area, or length.
