A Rod of Infinite Length Has a Charge Per Unit λ\lambda

Question 23

Multiple Choice

   A rod of infinite length has a charge per unit length of  \lambda  (= q/l) . Gauss's law makes it easy to determine that the electric field strength at a perpendicular distance r from the rod is, in terms of k = (4 \pi\isin <sub>0</sub>) <sup>-1</sup>, A)  k \lambda /r<sup>2 </sup> B)  k \lambda /r C)  4  \pi k \lambda /r D)  2k \lambda /r E)  zero A rod of infinite length has a charge per unit length of λ\lambda (= q/l) .
