Chapter 5: Problem 2
The voltage between the plates of a cytindrical capacitor is fixed at \(V\) and the outer radius at \(r_{2}\). Find the electric field \(E_{1}\) just outside the inner conductor of radius \(r_{1}\) in terms of \(V, r_{1}\) and \(r_{2}\). Find the value of \(r_{1}\) which makes \(E_{1}\) a minimum, neglecting end effects.
