Answer:
at y=6.29 cm the charge of the two distribution will be equal.
Explanation:
Given:
linear charge density on the x-axis,
linear charge density of the other charge distribution,
Since both the linear charges are parallel and aligned by their centers hence we get the symmetric point along the y-axis where the electric fields will be equal.
Let the neural point be at x meters from the x-axis then the distance of that point from the y-axis will be (0.11-x) meters.
<u>we know, the electric field due to linear charge is given as:</u>
where:
linear charge density
r = radial distance from the center of wire
permittivity of free space
Therefore,
∴at y=6.29 cm the charge of the two distribution will be equal.
