Find the electric field due to an infinitely long cylindrical charge distribution of radius R and having linear charge density `lambda` at a distance half of the radius from its axis.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`r=R/2` point will be inside so `E=(2k lambda r)/(R^(2))=(2k lambda)/R^(2)(R/2)=lambda/(4pi in_(0)R)`
