Analyzed the following situation and infer the electric field through Gauss's law. Show complete solutions and box the final answer. 1. A narrow vertical cylinder of height L= 1.8 m and radius r= 0.10 m. Assume that charge Q = 9µC was uniformly distributed along the cylinder. An electrical breakdown would have occurred if the electric field magnitude along the cylinder exceeded the critical value E = 2.4MN/C. Will there be an electrical breakdown? Prove your answer through calculations.

Consider an electric field that is uniform in direction throughout a certain volume. Can it be uniform in magnitude? Must it be uniform in magnitude? Answer these questions (a) assuming the volume is filled with an insulating material carrying charge described by a volume charge density and (b) assuming the volume is empty space. State reasoning to prove your answers.

What direction would the force point on a test charge placed between parallel plates with one connected to a negative terminal of the battery while another is connected to the positive terminal of a battery? What about on either side of the parallel plates? Explain in terms of force. For this question, I assume the test charge is positive and that the force would point in the direction of the electric field (high to low toward the negatively charged plate). If placed outside of the positive plate, I assume the force would travel in the same direction as the E-Field (high to low). If on the other side of the negative plate, wouldn't the force travel opposite to the E-field lines?
A semicircular loop of radius a carries positive charge Q distributed uniformly over its length. Find the electric field at the center of the loop. (Hint: Divide the loop into charge elements dq as shown in the figure, and write dq in terms of the angle dθ. Then integrate over θ) This problem shows a half circle loop with a point (P) where the center would be if it was a full circle. Please explain thoroughly, I am quite confused as for how solve this.

A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in the figure, which depicts a uniform electric field between two plates. Electrons are released, usually from a hot filament, near the negative plate, and there is a small hole in the positive plate that allows the electrons to pass through.Randomized VariablesE = 2.7 × 104 N/C Calculate the horizontal component of the electron's acceleration if the field strength is 2.7 × 104 N/C. Express your answer in meters per second squared, and assume the electric field is pointing in the negative x-direction as shown in the figure.
