Consider a long uniformly charged cylinder having constant volume charge density ' \(\lambda\) ' and radius ' \(R\) '. A Gaussian surface is in the form of a cylinder of radius ' \(r\) ' such that vertical axis of both the cylinders coincide. For a point inside the cylinder \((r \lt R)\), electric field is directly proportional to
- A \(\mathrm{r}^{-1}\)
- B r
- C \(\mathrm{r}^2\)
- D \(\mathrm{r}^{-2}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) r
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{array}{ll} & \lambda=\frac{\mathrm{q}}{\mathrm{V}} \quad \therefore \mathrm{q}=\lambda \mathrm{V} \\ \therefore \quad & \mathrm{q}=\lambda \pi \mathrm{r}^2 \mathrm{~L} \\ & \oint \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{dA}}=\frac{\mathrm{q}}{\varepsilon_0} \\ \therefore \quad & \mathrm{E} \int \mathrm{dA}=\frac{\lambda \pi \mathrm{r}^2 \mathrm{~L}}{\varepsilon_0} \\ \therefore \quad & \mathrm{E}(2 \pi \mathrm{rL})=\frac{\lambda \pi \mathrm{r}^2 \mathrm{~L}}{\varepsilon_0} \\ \therefore \quad & \mathrm{E}=\frac{\lambda \mathrm{r}}{2 \varepsilon_0} \\ \therefore \quad & \mathrm{E} \propto \mathrm{r}\end{array}\)
