Aicharya · Accepted Answer

Electric field due to a long cylinder is,

$E = \frac{λ}{2 π ε_{0} r} = \frac{ρ A}{2 π ε_{0} r}$

If a charge $q$ is rotating in a circle of radius $r$

$\frac{m v^{2}}{r} = q E$ $\Rightarrow \frac{m v^{2}}{r} = q \frac{ρ A}{2 π ε_{0} r} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} = \frac{q ρ π R^{2}}{4 π ε_{0}} = \frac{q ρ R^{2}}{4 ε_{0}}$
