    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: B

    Solution :

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