Macmillan Learnin A team of storm physicists is attempting to replicate lightning by charging two long cables stretched over a canyon, as shown. One cable will attain a highly positive and uniform charge density of +2, and the other will attain the same amount of charge density but opposite in sign (i.e., -2). Since the appearance of lightning directly depends on the electric field strength created by charge separation, they must derive an expression for electric field strength between the two cables. The cables are sufficiently long to be approximated as infinitely long. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field strength E between the two cables as a function of λ (the linear charge density) and r (the distance from the positively charged cable). Use eo as the permittivity of free space, and assume the wires are separated by a distance D. If the value of the linear charge density is λ = 40.5 µC/m and the distance between the two cables is D= 40.5 m, calculate the electric field Emid midway between the two cables. E = Emid N/C

QUESTION FIVE A. Copperbelt Energy Corporation (CEC) intends to lay an infinitely long conductor with charge density and length L, on one of their project sites on the Copperbelt. As a Graduate Engineer working for Copperbelt Energy Corporation (CEC), you have been assigned to be the lead project Engineer You supervisor has tasked to apply Gauss law principles that you learned during your undergraduate studies to determine the electric field a point P, which is located at a distance r meters the from the conductor. Assuming a cylindrical Gaussian surface due to the symmetry of wire, clearly show how you would go about in executing this task.
