A solid non-conducting cylinder is evenly charged with a constant volume charge density, ρ (the charge is evenly distributed throughout the volume of the cylinder). The cylinder has a radius, R, and length, ℓ.

(a) Use Gauss’s Law to find an equation for the electric field strength, ???, at a radius, ? < ?.

(b) Use Gauss’s Law to find an equation for the electric field strength, ????, at a radius, ? > ?. Note: ? = ?⁄?????????, assume the cylinder is so long that you can ignore any electric field from the ends of the cylinder
