Suppose the cylinder in the Geiger tube in has an inside

Chapter , Problem 63

(choose chapter or problem)

Suppose the cylinder in the Geiger tube in has an inside diameter of and the wire has a diameter of The cylinder is grounded so its potential is equal to zero. (a) What is the radius of the equipotential surface that has a potential equal to Is this surface closer to the wire or to the cylinder? (b) How far apart are the equipotential surfaces that have potentials of (c) Compare your result in Part (b) to the distance between the two surfaces that have potentials of respectively. What does this comparison tell you about the electric field strength as a function of the distance from the central wire?
