    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) \[E\propto \frac{1}{{{r}^{2}}}\]                 

    B) \[E\propto \frac{1}{r}\]

    C) \[E\propto {{r}^{2}}\]                    

    D) \[E\propto r\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Electric field due to outer plate is zero and so the electric field due to inner cylindrical charged conductor varies inversely as the 1 distance from the axis.
