Homework Statement
A long cylindrical insulator has a uniform charge density of 1.79 µC/m and a radius of 3 cm. What is the electric field inside the insultor at a distance of (a) 2 cm? [Answer in units of N/C] (b) 10 cm.
Homework Equations
∫ E • dA = Q_enclosed / e_0
The Attempt at a Solution
I know I have to use Gauss’ Law by constructing a cylindrical Gaussian surface of radius r (r<R) and length l. However, I can't seem to figure out how to get the height to cancel out since it isn't given in the question.
