Question 31





A uniformly charged, straight filament m in length has a total positive charge of mC. An uncharged cardboard cylinder cm in length and m in radius surrounds the filament at its center, with the filament as the axis of the cylinder. Using reasonable approximations, find
(a) the electric field at the surface of the cylinder and
(b) the total electric flux through the cylinder.
