A long, nonconducting cylinder (radius = 12 cm) has a charge of uniform density (5.0 nC/m3) distributed throughout its column. Determine the magnitude of the electric field 5.0 cm from the axis of the cylinder.

Answer:

The value is [tex]E = 14.12 \ N/C[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The radius of the cylinder is  [tex]r = 12 \ cm = 0.12 \ m[/tex]

     The density of the charge is  [tex]\rho = 5.0 \ nC/m^3 = 5.0*10^{-9} \ C/m^3[/tex]

    The position consider is  a =  5.0 cm  =  0.05 m

Gnerally from the magnitude of the magnetic field is mathematically represented as          

       [tex]E = \frac{\rho * s}{ 2 * \epsilon_o }[/tex]

Here [tex]\epsilon_o[/tex] is the permittivity of free space with value [tex]\epsilon_o = 8.85 *10^{-12} \ C/(V \cdot m)[/tex]

=>     [tex]E = \frac{5.0*10^{-9} * 0.05}{ 2 * 8.85*10^{-12} }[/tex]

=>   [tex]E = 14.12 \ N/C[/tex]
