22.18: Draw a cylindrical Gaussian surface with the line of charge as its axis.

The
cylinder has radius 0.400 m and is 0.0200 m long. The electric field is then 840 N/C at
every point on the cylindrical surface and directed perpendicular to the surface. Thus
 
∫ E ⋅ d s = ( E )( Acylinder) = ( E )(2πrL)
= (840 N/C) (2 π ) (0.400 m) (0.0200 m) = 42.2 N ⋅ m 2 /C
 
The field is parallel to the end caps of the cylinder, so for them ∫ E ⋅ d s =0 . From
Gauss’s law:
C2 N ⋅ m2
q = ε0 ΦE = (8.854 × 10 −12 ) ( 42 .2 )
N ⋅ m2 C
= 3.74 × 10 −10 C
