Question

An externally long wire is uniformly charged an electron is resolving about the wire and making  108

revolutions per second in an orbit of radius 2cm .  Linear charge density of wire in nC/m

is

Moderate
Solution

The electric force  "eE" will provide necessary centripetal force eE=mrw2 eλ2πε0r=mr4π2n2 λ=4πεo2mr2n2π2e         =2×9×1031×(4×104)×1016×109×109×1.6×1019              π210         =50×109C/m         =50nC/m
