A coaxial cable is formed by a long, straight wire and a hollow conducting cylinder with axes that coincide. The wire has charge per unit length

λ = 7λ0,

and the hollow cylinder has net charge per unit length

λ = 6λ0.

Use Gauss's law to answer these questions: What are the charges per unit length on the following surfaces of the hollow cylinder?

(a) the inner surface (Use the following as necessary: λ0.)
λinner =

  

(b) the outer surface (Use the following as necessary: λ0.)
λouter =

  

(c) What is the electric field a radial distance d from the axis of the coaxial cable? (Enter the magnitudes. Use the following as necessary: λ0, d, and ε0.)

between wire and cylinder     E =
within the cylinder     E =
outside the cylinder     E =
