01: Electric Charges And Fields
- #23An infinite line charge produces a field of 9 × 104 N/C at a distance of 2 cm. Calculate the linear charge density.
Ans : Electric field produced by the infinite line charges at a distance d having linear charge density λ is given by the relation,


Where,
d = 2 cm = 0.02 m
E = 9 × 104 N/C
`` \epsilon``0 = Permittivity of free space
= 9 × 109 N m2 C-2

= 10 μC/m
Therefore, the linear charge density is 10 μC/m.
