A long cylindrical shell with inner radius R1 and outer radius R2 has an electric charge Q evenly distributed over its entire volume. Away from the ends, a small tunnel is drilled through the shaft in such a way that its effect on distribution symmetry can be neglected. Discuss the subsequent movement of an electron abandoned at rest in one of the ends of the tunnel.
