An infinite line charge has constant charge-per-unit-length λ. Surrounding the line charge is a cylindrical shell of radius R, and carrying a constant charge-per-unit area σ. Given λ, what must σ be in order to get 0 electric field for all points outside the cylindrical shell? For that σ, what is the electrical field in between the line of charge and shell?
