A cylindrical capacitor consists of a long wire of radius R1 and length L with a charge

Question:

A cylindrical capacitor consists of a long wire of radius R1 and length L with a charge +Q and a concentric outer cylindrical shell of radius R2, length L, and charge -Q.

(a) Find the electric field and energy density at any point in space.

(b) How much energy resides in a cylindrical shell between the conductors of radius r, thickness dr, and volume 2?rL dr ?

(c) Integrate your expression from part (b) to find the total energy stored in the capacitor, and compare your result with that obtained using
