A thin cylindrical shell of radius R1 = 5.0 cm is surrounded by a second cylindrical shell of radius R2 = 9.0 cm, as in Fig. 22-34. Both cylinders are 3.0 m long. The inner one carries a total charge of Q1 = -3.8 µC. The outer one carries a total charge of Q2 = +2.2 µC. (Assume the positive direction is away from the axis.)

For points far from the ends of the cylinders, determine the electric field at the following radial distances from the central axis.
(a) r = 1.5 cm
________ N/C
(b) r = 6.5 cm
________ N/C
(c) r = 10.5 cm
_________ N/C
I think E=0 when R is less than R1...and for R greater than R1, i think the formula might be E=chargedensity/2*pi*epsilon*R
Am I even close?
