For inner radius and outer conductor's inner radius , Gauss's law gives . Integrating across the dielectric gives voltage . Thus the capacitance per unit length isThe stated outer radius is interpreted as the radius of the dielectric-facing surface. Magnetic permeability affects inductance, but does not enter this electrostatic capacitance.
