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)

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]E=35921.96N/C[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Radius [tex]r=0.321mm[/tex]

Charge Density [tex]\mu=0.100[/tex]

Distance [tex]d= 5.00 cm[/tex]

Generally the equation for electric field is mathematically given by

[tex]E=\frac{mu}{2\pi E_0r}[/tex]

[tex]E=\frac{0.100*10^{-6}}{2*3.142*8.86*10^{-12}*5*10^{-2}}[/tex]

[tex]E=35921.96N/C[/tex]
