To find the electric flux through the surface of a cylindrical surface surrounding an infinitely long conducting wire with charge density \( \lambda \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry We have a thin straight infinitely long conducting wire with a linear charge density \( \lambda \). The cylindrical surface has a radius \( r \) and a length \( l \) that coincides with the wire's length. **Hint:** Visualize the setup with the wire at the center of the cylinder. ### Step 2: Calculate the Charge Enclosed ...
