A charge is distributed over a
spherical body of radius R so that the
density of the volumetric charge at
any point of this space follows the
relationship p = kr^alpha where k
and alpha is constant and r is after

the point from the center of this
spherical space. Find the value of E

An infinitely long cylindrical conducting shell of outer radius r1 = 0.10 m and inner radius r2 = 0.08 m initially carries a surface charge density σ = -0.15 μC/m2. A thin wire, with linear charge density λ = 1.1 μC/m, is inserted along the shells' axis. The shell and the wire do not touch and there is no charge exchanged between them.
A) What is the new surface charge density, in microcoulombs per square meter, on the inner surface of the cylindrical shell?
B) What is the new surface charge density, in microcoulombs per square meter, on the outer surface of the cylindrical shell?
C) Enter an expression for the magnitude of the electric field outside the cylinder (r > 0.1 m), in terms of λ, σ, r1, r, and ε0.
Problem:
An infinitely long cylindrical conductor has radius R and uniform surface charge density Ơ. In terms of R and o, what is the
