A long cylindrical volume contains a uniformly distributed charge of density ρ C m-3. The electric field inside the cylindrical volume at a distance x=2ε0ρ m from its axis is _____ V m-1.

Question diagram: A long cylindrical volume contains a uniformly distributed c
Answer:
1.00
Solution:

Given here, Volume charge density =ρ C m-3.

Consider a Gaussian cylindrical surface of height h and radius x.

Let q charge is enclosed by the cylinder of radius x.

From Gauss's law,

EdScos0=qε0

Here, q=volume charge density×volume of imaginary cylinder.

 E2πxh=ρ×πx2hε0

E=ρx2ε0  

E=ρ2ε0×2ε0ρ=1

Thus, electric field is 1 V m-1.
