Consider the charged cylindrical capacitor. The magnitude of electric field E in its annular region

  1. A Varies as 1r, where r is the distance from its axis
  2. B Zero
  3. C Is same throughout and |E|>0
  4. D Varies as 1r2, where r is the distance from its axis
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Varies as 1r, where r is the distance from its axis

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Considering the annular region of the cylindrical capacitor as the Gaussian surface, we have, E×A=Qε. The surface area is given by, A=2πr×L,⇒E×2πr×L=Qε. Considering Q’as the charge per unit length, we get, Q'=QL⇒E=Q'2πrε⇒E∝1r.
