Finding field strength using Gauss's Law
Question

Electric charge is uniformly distributed along a straight wire of radius 1 mm. The charge per centimetre length of the wire is Q coulomb. Another cylindrical surface of radius 50 cm and length 1 m symmetrically encloses the wire as shown in figure. The total electric flux passing through the cylindrical surface is

Moderate
Solution

Total enclosed charge, q = 100Q coulomb

ϕE=qεo=100Qεo
