The geometry described as a cylinder can ideally be interpreted as a cylinder of infinite length. In other words, it corresponds to a situation in which the height of the cylinder is always much greater than any radial distance considered. Due to this, the effects associated with the ends of the cylinder can be neglected and the electric field is purely radial, depending only on the distance to the axis of the cylinder.

Description

Since Gauss's law states that the total flow of electric field through an infinite cylinder is proportional to the enclosed charge, using 11377:

equation=11377

can be applied to the case of a single surface Surface ($S$) corresponding to a cylinder of Radius ($r$) and Wire length ($L$):

equation=10464

With this you finally obtain:
