A thin infinite line charge has linear charge density of \( 2.0 \times 10^{-9} \text{ C/m} \). The electric field intensity at a distance of 3 m from the line charge is : (\( \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \))

  1. A \( 12 \text{ N C}^{-1} \)
  2. B \( 6 \text{ N C}^{-1} \)
  3. C \( 1.2 \text{ N C}^{-1} \)
  4. D \( 24 \text{ N C}^{-1} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 12 \text{ N C}^{-1} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( E = 2 \left( \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \right) \frac{\lambda}{r} \) \( E = 2 (9 \times 10^9) \frac{2.0 \times 10^{-9}}{3} \) \( E = 12 \text{ N C}^{-1} \)
