An infinite line charge produces a field of \(9 \times 10^4 \mathrm{NC}^{-1}\) at a distance of \(2 \mathrm{~cm}\). The linear charge density is

  1. A \(10^{-7} \mathrm{C} \mathrm{m}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(1.5 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{C} \mathrm{m}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(10^{-8} \mathrm{C} \mathrm{m}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(1.5 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{C} \mathrm{m}^{-1}\)
