An infiinitely long solid conducting cylindrical shell of radius a = 2.7 cm and negligible thickness is positioned with its symmetry axis along the z-axis as shown. The shell is charged, having a linear charge density Xinner = -0.46 μC/m. Concentric with the shell is another cylindrical conducting shell of inner radius b = 17 cm, and outer radius c = 19 cm. This conducting shell has a linear charge density A outer = 0.46μC/m. 1) What is C, the capacitance of a one meter length of this system of conductors?
