Question

A long copper wire of radius 0.321 mm has a linear charge density of 0.100 μC/m. Find the electric field at a point 5.00 cm from the center of the wire. (in Nm2/C, keep 3 significant figures)

Answer 1

Answer:

$E=35921.96N/C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Radius $r=0.321mm$

Charge Density $\mu=0.100$

Distance $d= 5.00 cm$

Generally the equation for electric field is mathematically given by

$E=\frac{mu}{2\pi E_0r}$

$E=\frac{0.100*10^{-6}}{2*3.142*8.86*10^{-12}*5*10^{-2}}$

$E=35921.96N/C$
