Cross-sectional view of the coaxial cylindrical capacitor.
Cross-sectional view of the coaxial cylindrical capacitor.
A cylindrical capacitor consists of two long, coaxial conducting cylindrical shells of inner radius \(a\) and outer radius \(b\) separated by vacuum. The inner shell carries a uniform linear charge density \(+\lambda\) and the outer shell carries a uniform linear charge density \(-\lambda\). Which of the following expressions is equal to the capacitance per unit length of the cylindrical capacitor?
