Consider a long uniformly charged cylinder having constant volume charge density $\rho$ and radius $R$. $A$ Gaussian surface is in the form of a cylinder of radius $r$ such that the vertical axis of both cylinders coincide. For a point inside the cylinder $(r < R)$,the electric field is directly proportional to

  • A
    $r^{-1}$
  • B
    $r$
  • C
    $r^2$
  • D
    $r^{-2}$
