- Homework Statement
- A long cylindrical metal of radius R is filled with a linear dielectric with permittivity ##\epsilon.## A line charge with a constant ##\lambda## is placed inside the dielectric such that the line is parallel to the axis of symmetry of the cylinder (that is really the only way to place the line inside the cylinder). Compute the electric field and polarization everywhere. Also compute all relevant charge densities.
Now specialize to the case of the line charge being at the symmetry axis of the cylinder and show that your results are the same as those obtained using Gauss's law.
- Relevant Equations
- linear polarization equations
Gauss law of displacement field
I understand that the above eqs would be used but I clearly don't know how to use them. I am a bit confussed.
