Example 4.6

A long straight wire is surrounded by a hollow cylinder whose axis

coincides with that wire as shown in figure 4.19. The solid wire has a

charge per unit length of +λ, and the hollow cylinder has a net charge

per unit length of +2λ. Use Gauss law to find (a) the charge per unit

length on the inner and outer surfaces of the hollow cylinder and (b) the

electric field outside the hollow cylinder, a distance r from the axis.

Solution

(a) Use a cylindrical Gaussian surface S 1 within

the conducting cylinder where E=0

+ λ

Thus

∫ E r r

. dA = = 0

and the charge per unit length on the inner surface

must be equal to

λ inner = -λ

Also λ inner + λ outer = 2λ

thus λ outer = 3λ

(b) For a gaussian surface S 2 outside the

conducting cylinder

∫ E r r
