The Leyden jar is an early type of storage container. It is a cylindrical glass bottle with a metal film laminated inside and out. Assume an inner diameter of 15cm, a glass thickness of 2cm, and a metal film height of 60cm. Ignore the thickness of the metal film. The glass's relative permittivity is 5.0, and its breakdown electric field Ek is 1.5x10^7 V/m. Disregarding edge effects find: (a) Electric field E inside the glass
