The linear charge density of an infinite line charge producing a uniform electric field of \(9 \times 10^6 N / C\) at a distance of 2 cm is :
(Take permittivity of vacuum \(\epsilon_0=8.85 \times 10^{-12} C ^2 N^{-1} m^{-2}\) )

  1. A \(1 \mu C / m\)
  2. B \(0.1 \mu C / m\)
  3. C \(10 \mu C / m\)
  4. D \(100 \mu C / m\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(10 \mu C / m\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda = E \cdot 2 \pi \epsilon_0 r\) \(\lambda = (9 \times 10^6 N/C) \cdot 2 \pi \cdot (8.85 \times 10^{-12} C^2 N^{-1} m^{-2}) \cdot (0.02 m)\) \(\lambda \approx 10 \times 10^{-6} C/m\) \(\lambda \approx 10 \mu C/m\)
