Vedclass · Answer

(C) Given,linear charge density of the infinitely long wire,$\lambda = \frac{1}{4} 	imes 10^{-2} 	ext{ C/m} = 0.25 	imes 10^{-2} 	ext{ C/m} = 2.5 	imes 10^{-3} 	ext{ C/m}$.Distance from the wire,$r = 20 	ext{ cm} = 0.2 	ext{ m}$.The electric field $E$ due to an infinitely long straight wire is given by the formula: $E = \frac{\lambda}{2 \pi \varepsilon_0 r} = \frac{2k\lambda}{r}$,where $k = \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 	imes 10^9 	ext{ N m}^2/	ext{C}^2$.Substituting the values:$E = \frac{2 	imes (9 	imes 10^9) 	imes (2.5 	imes 10^{-3})}{0.2}$$E = \frac{18 	imes 10^9 	imes 2.5 	imes 10^{-3}}{0.2}$$E = \frac{45 	imes 10^6}{0.2} = 225 	imes 10^6 = 2.25 	imes 10^8 	ext{ N/C}$.Note: Based on the provided options and the calculation,the correct magnitude is $2.25 	imes 10^8 	ext{ N/C}$. Given the options provided in the prompt,option $C$ is the intended answer assuming a typo in the exponent of the charge density in the original question.

An infinitely long thin straight wire has a uniform charge density of $\frac{1}{4} \times 10^{-2} \text{ C/m}$. What is the magnitude of the electric field at a distance of $20 \text{ cm}$ from the axis of the wire?
