Lines of Charge: Two Long Conducting Cylindrical Shells Are Coaxial

Multiple Choice

Lines of charge: Two long conducting cylindrical shells are coaxial and have radii of 20 mm and 80 mm. The electric potential of the inner conductor, with respect to the outer conductor, is +600 V. An electron is released from rest at the surface of the outer conductor. What is the speed of the electron as it reaches the inner conductor?
