The electric field 2.5 mm from a uniform sheet of charge is σ=800, NC. How much charge is contained in a 5.0x5.0 cm section of the charged sheet?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The charge is [tex]2.75\times10^{-13}\ C[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 2.5 mm

Electric field = 800 NC

Length [tex]L=5.0\times5.0\times10^{-4}\ m[/tex]

We need to calculate the linear charge density

Using formula of linear charge density

[tex]E=\dfrac{2k\lambda}{r}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{Er}{2k}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{800\times2.5\times10^{-3}}{2\times9\times10^{9}}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda=1.1\times10^{-10}\ C/m[/tex]

We need to calculate the charge

Using formula of charge

[tex]Q=\lambda\timesL[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]Q=1.1\times10^{-10}\times(5.0\times5.0\times10^{-4})[/tex]

[tex]Q=2.75\times10^{-13}\ C[/tex]

Hence, The charge is [tex]2.75\times10^{-13}\ C[/tex]
