Question

(a) Find the total charge.


Find the electric field on the y axis at the following distances.
(b) y = 4 cm

(c) y = 12 cm

(d) y = 4.5 m

(e) Find the field at y = 4.5 m, assuming the charge to be a point charge.

A uniform line charge extends from x = - 2.3 cm to x = + 2.3 cm and has a linear charge density of = 6.1 nC/m. Find the total charge. Find the electric field on the y axis at the following distances. y = 4 cm y = 12 cm y = 4.5 m Find the field at y = 4.5 m, assuming the charge to be a point charge.

Explanation / Answer

a)

total charge = 6.1*10^-3*0.046 = 2.81*10^-4 C
