answer for (d) and (e) please 

2. If you very close to the surface on a conductor it will
look flat. Just as the Earth appears flat to us because we
are on the surface. We want to find the electric field at
E
a point P just outside the conductor. Assume the
conducting surface near P has a positive charge per
area n. We draw a Gaussian cylinder of radius R and
height 2h cutting through the surface.
h
+n
а.
What is the flux through the curved portion of the
Gaussian surface? Write the answer in terms of the
Conductor
unknown electric field E, R and/or h.
b. What is the flux through the bottom endcap?
What is the flux through the top endcap?
С.
d. Write the charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface in terms of n, R and/or h?
Use Gauss's law to find the electric field just outside the conductor.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Gauss's Law

The surface integral of the electric field over a closed surface is equal to 1εo times the total charge enclosed by the surface.
