I am having trouble with a homework problem assigned by my physics professor. An infinitely long cylinder of radius a and relative dielectric constant Er is immersed in a static electric field E=Eox where x is supposed to denote a unit vector in the x direction. The cylinder is alligned on the z direction. The question is how do I find the electric field inside of the cylinder. I thought about using transmission and reflection coefficients to determine how much of the field would be transmitted into the cylinder but these really only apply to incident wave equations. I am at a total loss here. Any input would help a lot.
Thanks in advance for anyone's input. This seems like it should be an easy problem but I must be failing to grasp some fundamental concept.
