| A long coaxial cable carries a uniform volume charge density on the inner cylinder (radius 'a') and a uniform surface charge density on the outer cylindrical shell (radius 'b'). The surface charge is negative and of just the right magnitude so that the cable as a whole is electrically neutral. Demonstrate that you understand the concept of potential by finding the potential difference between a point on the inner cylinder (at radius 'a') and a point at twice the radius of the outer cylindrical shell, i.e., at a radius of '2b'. |
