Figure shows, in cross section, three solid cylinders, each of length L and uniform charge Q. Concentric with each cylinder is a cylindrical Gaussian surface, with all three surfaces having the same radius. Rank the Gaussian surfaces according to the electric field at any point on the surface, greatest first.

Detailed Solution
In each case: ∮ E→⋅dA→=qenclosed ε0 E∮ dA=Qε0 E4πr2=Qε0 E=14πε0Qr2As charged enclosed within the Gaussian surface is the same, the radius of Gaussian surface is equal. Hence, the magnitude of electric field will be equal.
