A cylinderical capacitor has two co-axial cylinders of length 15 cm and radii 1.5cm and 1.4 cm . The outer cylinder is earthed and the inner cylinder is given a charge of `3.5muC`. Determine the capacitance of the system and the potential of the inner cylinder. Neglect end effets (i.e., bending of filed lines at the ends).
