Concentric Cylindrical Conducting Shells 1 An infiinitely long solid conducting cylindrical shell of radius a = 4.8 cm and negligible thickness is positioned with its symmetry axis along the z-axis as shown. The shell is charged, having a linear charge density ?inner = -0.35 ?C/m. Concentric with the shell is another cylindrical conducting shell of inner radius b = 17.1 cm, and outer radius c = 21.1 cm. This conducting shell has a linear charge density ? outer = 0.35?C/m....
A capacitor is constructed of two concentric conducting cylindrical shells. The radius of the inner cylindrical shell is 2.37 x10-3 m, and that of the outer shell is 2.47 x 10-3 m. When the cylinders carry equal and opposite charges of magnitude 2.0 x 10-10 C, the electric field between the plates has an average magnitude of 3.8 x 104 V/m and is directed radially outward from the inner shell to the outer shell. Determine (a) the magnitude of the...
A capacitor is composed of two cylindrical conducting shells. The inner shell has a radius A, is centered inside the outer shell and has a positive surface charge density +3s. The outer shell has radius B = 3A and negative surface charge density -s. Assume the length of the conductors is ?infinitely? long compared to the radius B so that you can ignore all edge effects. Let r be the vector pointing from the center of the capacitor to any...
Consider two concentric cylindrical shells, one of radius R1, and the other of radius R2 > R1. The length of the shells is L, such that L >>> R1, R2 so we can assume that E = Er(r) (cylindrical symmetry, or in other words, when we are between Rl and R2, the cylinder seems infinite). Assume the inner shell has a total charge -Q, the outer shell total charge +Q. a) Find E(r) using Gauss's law. Use a Gaussian surface...

Two very long concentric conducting cylindrical shells are arranged as seen below. The inner shell has a radius a, and the outer shell a radius b. Each shell has a length L. A charge of -Q is spread over the inner shell and a charge of +Q resides on the outer shell. Ignore fringe fields (e.g. assume each cylinder is very long). Find the electric field everywhere in space. Find the potential difference between the two shells. Which one is...
