2. (10%) A coaxial cable consists of two concentric cylindrical conductors. The region between the conductors is completely filled with polyethylene plastic as shown in Figure 2. Current leakage through the plastic, in the radial direction, is unwanted. The radius of the inner conductor is \( a \), the radius of the outer conductor is \( b \), and the length is \( L \). The resistivity of the plastic is \( \rho \). Calculate the resistance of the plastic between the two conductors.
