- A cylindrical capacitor is made of two thin-walled concentric cylinders. The inner cylinder has radius R₂ = 7.5 mm, and the outer one a radius R = 14 mm. The region between the cylinders contains a dielectric with constant =3.6. The common length of the cylinders is L=7.5 m (Assume the cylinders can be treated as ideal infinite cylinders.) Determine the potential energy stored in this capacitor when a potential difference V = 38.8V is applied between the inner and outer cylinders in n.J.
