Homework Statement
Find the potential of a cylindrical capacitor
Radius of both cylinder plates, x and y where x<y
Height of the cylinder: h
Charge on the plates: q
Homework Equations
[tex]E = \frac{q}{A\epsilon_0} = \frac{q}{2\pi r h \epsilon_0}[/tex]
[tex]\Delta V = \frac{\Delta U}{q} = - \int_a^b E dr[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex]V_y = \int_a^b E dr = \frac{q}{2\pi h \epsilon_0} \int_x^y \frac{1}{r} dr[/tex]
Am I setting this up correctly?
