You are working at an electric cable manufacturing plant during the summer. Your supervisor tells you that a new coaxial cable is under design. The inner conductor has a radius of 0.550 mm, and the outer conductor's inside radius is 2.80 mm. The space between the conductors is filled with polyethylene. He asks you to provide him with a maximum operating voltage for this cable (in kV). kV
