1. A cylindrical Gaussian surface (length = 0.80 m, diameter = 0.20 m) is drawn in an area of a non-uniform electric field, directed at all points in the +x direction (i.e., horizontal to the right). The field varies with x, but does not vary with respect to y 0.20 m () ( -0.80 m- or z. The side of the Gaussian surface is aligned along the x direction, and the two ends of the surface are normal to the x-direction. The electric fields E. and Ez, at the ends of the surface, have magnitudes of 3.0 x 10 N/C and 7.0 x 10 N/C. a. Calculate the electric flux through each surface of the cylinder (hint: there are three). Be careful about units and significant figures! b. Calculate the net electric flux through the cylinder. Be careful about signs! c. Why was the length of the cylinder irrelevant to your calculations? 1.
