    An infinitely long conducting cylinder of radius a has a surface charge density ρs and is surrounded by a dielectric medium with εr = 4. The tangential electric field in the region r ≥ a is given by Et = −φˆ cos2φ/r2. Using Gauss's law in the dielectric medium and the boundary conditions at the surface of the cylinder, the surface charge density is found to be ρs = −2 sinφcosφ/a2 (C/m2).

    Problem 4.49 An innitely long conducting cylinder of radius a has a surface charge density s .

    The cylinder is surrounded by a dielectric medium with r = 4 and contains no free charges. If the tangential component of the electric eld in the cos2 /r2 , nd s . region r a is given by Et = Solution: Let the conducting cylinder be medium 1 and the surrounding dielectric medium be medium 2. In medium 2, 1 cos2 , Er E2 = r r2 with Er , the normal component of E2 , unknown. The surface charge density is related to Er . To nd Er , we invoke Gausss law in medium 2: D2 = 0, or 1 1 (rEr ) + r r r 1 cos2 r2 = 0,

    which leads to

    (rEr ) = r

    1 cos2 r2

    2 sin cos . r2

    Integrating both sides with respect to r,

    (rEr ) dr = 2 sin cos r 2 rEr = sin cos , r


    or Er = Hence, E2 = r According to Eq. (4.93), 2 (D1 D2 ) = s , n 2 sin cos . r2

    1 dr r2

    2 1 cos2 . sin cos r2 r2

    2 is the normal to the boundary and points away from medium 1. Hence, where n 2 = r . Also, D1 = 0 because the cylinder is a conductor. Consequently, n D 2 |r = a s = r 2 E2 |r=a = r 2 1 cos2 r 0 r 2 sin cos = r r r2 80 = 2 sin cos (C/m2 ). a

    r =a
