Best answer

Charge density of the long charged cylinder of length L and radius r is λ. Another cylinder of same length surrounds the pervious cylinder. The radius of this cylinder is R. 

Let E be the electric field produced in the space between the two cylinders. Electric flux through the Gaussian surface is given by Gauss’s theorem as,
