An infinitely long uniform line charge distribution of charge per unit length λ lies parallel to the y -axis in the y - z plane at z=32α (see figure). If the magnitude of the flux of the electric field through the rectangular surface ABCD lying in the x - y plane with its centre at the origin is λLnε0 ( ε0= permittivity of free space), then the value of n is

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


dϕ=λ2πϵ0d2+x2.dd2+x2Ldx
ϕ=λdL2πϵ0-a2a2dxd2+x2
\(=\frac{\lambda( d )( L )}{2 \pi \epsilon_0}\left(\frac{1}{d}\right) 2\left[\tan ^{-1} \frac{ x }{ d }\right]_0^{\frac{ a }{2}}=\frac{\lambda L }{\pi \epsilon_0}\) \(\left(\tan ^{-1} \frac{ a }{2 \cdot \frac{ a \sqrt{3}}{2}}\right)=\frac{\lambda L }{\pi \epsilon_0}\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\)
