About the Electric Field due to line charge

The direction of electric field is a the function of whether the line charge is positive or negative. If λ < 0, i.e., in a negatively charged wire, the direction of E is radially inward towards the wire and if λ > 0, i.e., in a positively charged wire, the direction of E is radially out of the wire. The magnitude of electric field intensity at every point on the curved surface of the cylinder is same, because all points are at the same distance from the line charge.
