Cross-sectional view of the thin cylindrical shell and points 1 and 2.
An infinitely long, thin cylindrical shell of radius \(R\) carries a uniform positive linear charge density \(\lambda\). Point 1 is located at a radial distance \(r_1 = \dfrac{R}{2}\) from the central axis of the cylinder, and Point 2 is located at a radial distance \(r_2 = 3R\) from the central axis. What is the electric potential difference \(V_1 - V_2\) between Point 1 and Point 2?
