Problem

The magnitude of electric field E⃗\vec{E} in the annular region of a charged cylindrical capacitor. (1) is same throughout (2) is higher near the outer cylinder than near the inner cylinder (3) varies as 1/r1/r , where rr is the distance from axis (4) varies as 1/r21/r^2 where rr is the distance from the axis.
