(a) A uniformly charged cylindrical shell with no end caps has total charge Q, radius R, and length h. Determine the electric potential at a point a distance d from the right end of the cylinder as shown in Figure P24.51. Suggestion: Use the result of Example 24.5 by treating the cylinder as a collection of ring charges. (b) What If? Use the result of Example 24.6 to solve the same problem for a solid cylinder.
