A long cylinder contains charge distributed uniformly having volume charge density ρ. |
What is the electric field at a point P inside the cylinder at a distance x from its axis? |
ρx/2ε0 ρx/ε0 ρ/ε0 ρx2/2ε0 |
ρx/2ε0 |
$\text{Consider a cylindrical Gaussian Surface of radius x and length l }$ $\text{Electric Flux through this gaussian surface is }E.2\pi xl = \frac{q_{in}}{\epsilon_0} = \frac{\rho \pi x^2 l}{\epsilon_0}$ $\Rightarrow E = \frac{\rho x}{2\epsilon_0 }$ |
