A long coaxial cable (Fig. 2.26) carries a uniform volume charge density p on the inner cylinder

Question:

A long coaxial cable (Fig. 2.26) carries a uniform volume charge density p on the inner cylinder (radius a), and a uniform surface charge density on the outer cylindrical shell (radius b). This surface charge is negative and of just the right magnitude so that the cable as a whole is electrically neutral. Find the electric field in each of the three regions: (i) inside the inner cylinder (s b). Plot |E| as a function of s.
