An infinitely long line charge distribution produces an electric field of \( 9 \times 10^4 \text{ N/C} \) at a distance of 2 cm. The linear charge density of the distribution is :

  1. A \( 0.01 \text{ }\mu\text{C/m} \)
  2. B \( 0.1 \text{ }\mu\text{C/m} \)
  3. C \( 1 \text{ }\mu\text{C/m} \)
  4. D \( 2 \text{ }\mu\text{C/m} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 0.1 \text{ }\mu\text{C/m} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( E = \frac{\lambda}{2 \pi \epsilon_0 r} \) \( \lambda = E \cdot 2 \pi \epsilon_0 r = (9 \times 10^4 \text{ N/C}) \cdot (2 \pi \epsilon_0) \cdot (0.02 \text{ m}) \)…
