To calculate the magnitude of electric field intensity at a point 10 cm away from a line charge with a linear charge density of 5 µC/m, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Data - Linear charge density, \( \lambda = 5 \, \mu C/m = 5 \times 10^{-6} \, C/m \) - Distance from the line charge, \( r = 10 \, cm = 0.1 \, m \) ### Step 2: Use Gauss's Law According to Gauss's Law, the electric field \( E \) due to an infinite line charge is given by the formula: ...

Why do we always get electric field intensity near a charged metallic surface of magnitude twice of the electric field intensity near a thin sheet of charge with same surface charge density as of metal plate?

Assertion: If there is a system of two unequal point charges of any polarity then there is one and only one point in space around it where the electric field intensity is zero. Reason: The direction of electric field intensity at a point is away from the positive charge and towards the negative charge, along the line joining the charge and location where electric field intensity is to be calculated.
