Question
An infinite cylinder of radius R has a charge density given by
p(r) = ar",
where r is the perpendicular distance from the axis of the cylinder, and a is a constant.
Show that the electric field for r > R given by
aR
E(r)
7€or
satisfies
V ·Ē = 0
for r > R. Explain briefly why this condition must be obeyed.
