The electric field of cylinder at a distance more than radius of cylinder is equal to $\boxed{E=\dfrac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0r}}}$ .

Further Explanation:

Gauss law states that net electric flux through any closed surface is equal to $\dfrac{1}{\epsilon_0}$ times the net electric charge within that closed surface. The hypothetical closed surface is name as Gaussian surface. The electric flux also defined as the total electric field lines, which passes through a surface area of any closed curve.

Given:

The linear charge density of cylinder is $\lambda$ .

Concept:

Consider the length of the cylinder is .

Charge on curved surface of cylinder is $\lambda L$ .

For a Gaussian curve in the shape of a concentric cylinder (with a radius more than the radius of charged cylinder) we can write gauss law as:

$\phi=\dfrac{q}{\epsilon_0}$

Substitute $\lambda L$ for in above equation.

$\phi=\dfrac{\lambda L}{\epsilon_0}$ …… (I)

Here, $\phi$ is the Electric flux and $\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of vacuum.

Since the electric field is constant for a given distance from the axis of the cylinder we can write that:

$\phi=E2\pi rL$ …… (II)

Here, is the electric field of charge on cylinder, is the height or length of curved surface and is the radius of Gaussian cylindrical curve.

On equating the equation (I) and equation (II) and Rearranging it for :

$\boxed{E=\dfrac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0r}}}$

Thus, the electric field of cylinder at a distance more than radius of cylinder is equal to $\boxed{E=\dfrac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0r}}}$ .

American eels (anguilla rostrata) are freshwater fish with long, slender bodies that we can treat as uniform cylinders 1.0 m long and 10 cm in diameter. an eel compensates for its small jaw and teeth by holding onto prey with its mouth and then rapidly spinning its body around its long axis to tear off a piece of flesh. eels have been recorded to spin at up to 14 revolutions per second when feeding in this way. although this feeding method is costly in terms of energy, it allows the eel to feed on larger prey than it otherwise could. 1.a field researcher uses the slow-motion feature on her phones camera to shoot a video of an eel spinning at its maximum rate. the camera records at 120 frames per second. through what angle does the eel rotate from one frame to the next? 2. the eel is observed to spin at 14 spins per second clockwise, and 10 seconds later it is observed to spin at 8 spins per second counterclockwise. what is the magnitude of the eels average angular acceleration during this time? 3. the eel has a certain amount of rotational kinetic energy when spinning at 14 spins per second. if it swam in a straight line instead, about how fast would the eel have to swim to have the same amount of kinetic energy as when it is spinning? 4.a new species of eel is found to have the same mass but one-quarter the length and twice the diameter of the american eel. how does its moment of inertia for spinning around its long axis compare to that of the american eel?
