I don't know how to do this as the formula for a cylindrically symmetric charge distribution uses (lambda) which is charge per unit length. E = 2k(lambda/r) But, the problem provides charge per unit volume. Please provide insight and some fundamental help.
A long nonconducting cylinder (radius = 12 cm) has a charge of uniform density (5.0 nC/m3) distributed throughout its volume. Determine the magnitude of the electric field 15 cm from the axis of the cylinder.
