A capacitor doesn't have to be two infinite planes. A concentric set of conducting cylindrical shells can make a nice capacitor if there is a charge density + on the inside shell and - on the outside shell. This gives it such that the electric field is: E = 0 for R<R] E = 2060Ř for R; <R< R2 E = 0 for R>R2 a) (3 points) Draw the Electric Field as a function of R b) (8 points) Find...
Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq. (24.2), the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, with A being the surface area of...
