Find the magnitude of the electric field at a point 4 cm away from a line charge of density 2 × 10-6 Cm-1.
उत्तर
Given:
Charge density of the line containing charge, λ = 2 × 10-6 C/m-1
We need to find the electric field at a distance of 4 cm away from the line charge.
We take a Gaussian surface around the line charge of cylindrical shape of radius r = 4 ×10-2 m and height l.
The charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface, qen = λl
Let the magnitude of the electric field at a distance of 4 cm away from the line charge be E.
Thus, net flux through the Gaussian surface, `phi = oint vec"E" . vec"d.s"`
There will be no flux through the circular bases of the cylinder; there will be flux only from the curved surface.
The electric field lines are directed radially outward, from the line charge to the cylinder.
Therefore, the lines will be perpendicular to the curved surface.
Thus,
`phi = oint vec"E" . vec "d.s" = "E" oint "ds" `
`=> phi = "E" xx 2 pi "r""l"`
Applying Gauss's theorem,
`phi = (q_"en")/∈_0`
`"E" xx 2 pi "r""l" =( λ"l")/∈_0`
`"E" = λ/(2 pi "r" ∈_0) `
`"E" = (2xx10^-6)/ (2 xx 3.14 xx8.85 xx 10 ^-12 xx 4 xx 10^-2)`
E = 8.99 × 105 N/C
