The radiation detector known as a Geiger counter consists of a 25-mm-diameter cylindrical metal tube, sealed at the ends, with a 1.0-mm-diameter wire along its axis. The wire and cylinder are separated by a low-pressure gas whose dielectric strength is 1.0 * 106 V/m. a. What is the capacitance per unit length? b. What is the maximum potential difference between the wire and the tube?
