A wire containing a charge of λ Coulombs per unit length is embedded along the axis of a cylinder of dielectric material. There is no free charge inside the dielectric. The composition of the dielectric is non-uniform, such that its permittivity is a function of the distance from the central axis, i.e. ε = ε(r).
