Q146 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2021 (04 Aug Shift 2) · Physics
Two infinitely long thin straight wires having uniform linear charge densities and are arranged parallel to each other at a distance apart. The intensity at a point midway between them is
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
Given for first infinitely long straight wire, linear charge density .
For second infinitely long straight wire, linear charge density
The distance between to infinite parallel straight wires =
Distance of point from first and second wire =
Electric field due to a long wire having charge density =
Electric field intensity at due to the first wire,
Electric field intensity at due to the second wire,
∴ Electric field intensity at a middle point due to Both wires
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
