How does, the electric field (E) between the plates of a charged cylindrical capacitor vary with the distance r from the axis of the cylinder?
A
E ∝ 
B
E ∝ 
C
E ∝ r 2
D
E ∝ r
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Electric field due to outer plate is zero and so the electric field due to inner cylindrical charged conductor varies inversely as the distance from the axis.
