The electric field of a finite cylinder is the force per unit charge experienced by a charged particle at any point outside the cylinder. It is calculated using the formula for the electric field of a charged line of charge density.
The electric field inside a Gaussian cylinder is zero.
The electric field surrounding an infinite cylinder is uniform and perpendicular to the surface of the cylinder.
The electric field around an infinite cylinder is uniform and perpendicular to the surface of the cylinder.
The formula for calculating the electric field of a cylinder is E / (2r), where E is the electric field, is the charge density of the cylinder, is the permittivity of free space, and r is the distance from the axis of the cylinder.
The electric field inside an insulating cylinder is uniform and radial, meaning it points outward from the center of the cylinder in all directions.

The electric field of a cylinder shell is the force per unit charge experienced by a charge placed at a point outside the cylinder shell. It is calculated using the formula E / (2r), where E is the electric field, is the charge density of the cylinder shell, is the permittivity of free space, and r is the distance from the axis of the cylinder shell to the point where the electric field is being measured.
The electric field around a very long uniformly charged cylinder is uniform and points radially outward from the cylinder.
For a cylindrically symmetric charge distribution, the electric field inside the cylinder is also cylindrically symmetric. This means that the electric field points radially outwards or inwards along the axis of the cylinder with the magnitude dependent on the charge distribution. The electric field can be calculated using Gauss's law and applying symmetry arguments to simplify the problem.
No, the electric field does not necessarily have to be zero just because the potential is constant in a given region of space. The electric field is related to the potential by the gradient, so if the potential is constant, the electric field is zero only if the gradient of the potential is zero.
A cylinder is a three dimensional shape with a uniform circular cross section and a finite length.
This is a matter of limits. If you are measuring the electric field at a point that is a distance off of an infinite sheet of charge the direction of the electric field will be perpendicular to the sheet due to the symmetry of the situation. We can think of the radius as the distance between a point on the sheet and the normal line to the sheet that passes through the point where the electric field is being considered. If we look at the addition to the electric field from the charge on the sheet as this radius approaches infinity the component of the electric field in the direction of the net electric field will approach 0.P.S. Drawing a diagram of the situation with arrows denoting the directions of force from different parts of the sheet can be very helpful in understanding.
