The electric field due to an infinitely long thin straight wire with uniform linear charge density of \(2.5 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{Cm}^{-1}\) at a radial distance of \(x\) from the wire is \(7.5 \times 10^4 \mathrm{NC}^{-1}\). Then \(x=\)

  2. B 3 cm
  3. C 4 cm
  4. D 6 cm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 6 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E = \frac{2k\lambda}{x}\) \(x = \frac{2k\lambda}{E}\) \(x = \frac{2 \times (9 \times 10^9) \times (2.5 \times 10^{-7})}{7.5 \times 10^4}\) \(x = 0.06 \mathrm{m}\) \(x = 6 \mathrm{cm}\)
