Question

Explain linear charge density. State the unit of linear charge density.​

Answer 1

Answer:

λ=ql where λ is the linear charge density, q is the charge and l is length. Complete answer: ... λ=ql where λ is the symbol often used for the linear charge density, q is the charge and l is length. Thus the unit is given as the unit of charge over the unit of length as in Cm=Cm−1 or C/m

Answer 2

Answer:

Linear charge density (λ) is the quantity of charge per unit length, measured in coulombs per meter (C⋅m−1), at any point on a line charge distribution. Charge density can be either positive or negative, since electric charge can be either positive or negative.
