9.3. Consider a pair of co-axial cylindrical conductors of length L. The inner cylinder is of

radius a and contains a uniformly-distributed charge Q; the larger cylinder is grounded and of

inner radius b<

(a) Use Gauss Laws to determine the electric field E in the space between the conductors. (b)

Determine the potential difference Vo between the conductors in terms of the charge Q.

dimensions a, b, and L, and permittivity so. (c) Using the boundary condition for E at the

surface of a conductor, determine the surface charge densities ps on the surfaces of the

conductors. Your answers should include terms 2naL and 2nbL for the inner and outer surfaces,

respectively. What do these terms represent?
