Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0.1 \mu \mathrm{C} \mathrm{m}{ }^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Electric field produced by infinite line charge, \[ \begin{aligned} & E=9 \times 10^4 \quad \mathrm{NC}^{-1} \\ & r=2 \mathrm{~cm}=2 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m} \end{aligned} \] Linear charge density, \(\lambda=\) ? We know that,…
