Explanation:
Electric field due to an infinitely long straight wire. Let us consider an infinitely long line charge having linear charge density λ. Assume a cylindrical Gaussian surface of radius r and length 1 coaxial with the line charge. Since λ is the charge per unit length and l is the length of the wire.

The electric field of an infinite line charge with a uniform linear charge density can be obtained by a using Gauss' law. Considering a Gaussian surface in the form of a cylinder at radius r, the electric field has the same magnitude at every point of the cylinder and is directed outward.
