An infinitely long thin straight wire has uniform linear charge density of 1 3 Cm ⁻¹ . Then the magnitude of the force acting on a charge 3 C situated at a point of 18 ~cm away from the wire is ( 1 4 ₀ =9 10^9 Nm ^2 C ⁻² )
Options
- A2 10^5 ~N
- B10^5 ~N
- C1 3 10^6 ~N
- D3 10¹¹ ~N
Correct answer
B. 10^5 ~N
Step-by-step solution
aligned & E= 2 ₀ r = 2 4 ₀ r = 9 10^9 2 1 3 18 10⁻² & = 1 3 10¹¹ ~N / C aligned So, F=q E=3 10⁻⁶ 1 3 10¹¹=10^5 ~N
