उत्तर
The electric field produced by the infinite line charges at a distance d having linear charge density λ is given by the relation,
E = `lambda/(2piin_0"d")`
`lambda = 2piin_0"dE"`
Where,
d = 2 cm = 0.02 m
E = 9 × 104 N/C
∈0 = Permittivity of free space
`1/(4piin_0)` = 9 × 109 N m2 C−2
`lambda = (0.02 xx 9 xx 10^4)/(2 xx 9 xx 10^9)`
= 10 μC/m
Therefore, the linear charge density is 10 μC/m.
