Can a sufficiently strong electric field make electrons escape from a metal?

Lets say we have a piece of metal in some region of the space from which it can't move (I realize that maybe this is not plusible) and then a very strong electric field appears, electrons inside the c …

Is it possible to have an (electrostatic) equipotential surface being crossed twice by an el...

Lets say I have an elctric field produced by two point charges (not necessarely a dipole), intuitevely it seems to me that it is not possible to have an equipotential closed surface being crossed twic …

When we apply Gauss's law should we consider also the charge over the gaussian surface?

Lets say I have a coaxial cable, the internal material cylinder has radius $a$ and uniform volumetric charge density $\rho$, the external shield cylinder has radius $b$ and uniform superficial charge …
