Question

A long coaxial cable consists of an inner cylindrical conductor with radius a and an outer coaxial cylinder with inner radius b and outer radius c. The outer cylinder is mounted on insulating supports and has no net charge. The inner cylinder has a uniform positive charge per unit length ?.

Part B

Find the direction of the electric field at any point between the cylinders a distance r from the axis.
