Let us consider a linear conductor of length L has the line charge density λ\lambdaλ. The amount of charge on an elementary length dl is, dQ=λ.dl\color{Blue}dQ=\lambda.dldQ=λ.dl Now, total charg… 展开

It is very easy to calculate the line charge density of a conductor. To do so, you just need to know the amount of charge on the conductor and the length of the conductor. After that, use the equation-(1) to find the line charge densi… 展开

Here, we are going to understand the thing with the help of an example. Let, a cylinder of length 15 cm have a total charge of +2Con it. We want to find the line charge density of the cylinder. So, the total charge, Q = 2C and leng… 展开
