At a distance D from a very long (essentially infinite) uniform line of charge, the electric field strength is 1000 N/C. At what distance from the line will the field strength to be 2000 N/C

Respuesta :

Answer:

Distance from the line with the field strength of 2000N/C = 0.7071 D or D√(0.5) or D/(√2)

Explanation:

Electric field is given by,

E = kQ/r²

where k = constant, Q = total charges, R = distance from the line of charge = D

Provided, total charges are constant, then,

The electric field is inversely proportional to the square of D.

E ∝1/D²

E = c/D²

c represents kQ, the two constant parameters.

1000 = c/D²

c = 1000D²

For E = 2000 N/C

Let the distance from the line with that field strength be x

E = kQ/x²

E ∝1/x²

E = c/x²

2000 = c/x²

c = 1000D²

2000 = 1000D²/x²

x² = 0.5D²

x = √(0.5D²)

x = D√0.5

x = 0.7071 D or D√(0.5) or D/(√2)

Hope this Helps!!!

When charge is constant the field strength is inversely proportional to the square root of distance. The distance from the line is [tex]d\sqrt{0.5}[/tex] when field strength is 2000 N/C.

From electric field,

[tex]E = \dfrac {kQ}{r^2}[/tex]

where

[tex]k[/tex] = constant,

[tex]Q[/tex]= total charges,

[tex]r[/tex] = distance from the line of charge = [tex]D[/tex]

Since the charge is constant,

[tex]E = \dfrac{c}{x^2}[/tex]

[tex]c[/tex] represents constant  [tex]kQ[/tex],

[tex]1000 = \dfrac{c}{D^2}[/tex]

[tex]c = 1000D^2[/tex]

For [tex]E = 2000 \rm\ N/C[/tex]

[tex]2000 =\dfrac {c}{x^2}[/tex]

Put the value of

[tex]2000 = \dfrac{1000D^2}{x^2}\\\\x^2= 0.5D^2\\\\x = d\sqrt{0.5}[/tex]

Therefore, the distance from the line is [tex]d\sqrt{0.5}[/tex] when field strength is 2000 N/C.
