JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 1. Electric charges and fields

Find out the surface charge density at the intersection of point \(x =3\, m\) plane and \(x\) -axis, in the region of uniform line charge of \(8\, nC / m\) lying along the \(z\) -axis in free space.

  1. A \(0.424 \,n\,C m ^{-2}\)
  2. B \(47.88 \,C / m\)
  3. C \(0.07\, n\,C m ^{-2}\)
  4. D \(4.0\, n\,C m ^{-2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0.424 \,n\,C m ^{-2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{2 K \lambda}{ r }=\frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon_{0}}\) \(\quad(x=3 \,m)\) \(\sigma=0.424 \times 10^{-9}\, \frac{ C }{ m ^{2}}\)
