An infinitely long cylinder of radius R has linear charge density λ. The potential on the surface of the cylinder is V0, and the electric field outside the cylinder is Er=λ2πϵ0r. Part A Find the potential relative to the surface at a point that is distance r from the axis, assuming r>R. Express your answer in terms of the variables λ, r, R, V0, and appropriate constants. Vr = nothing
