Question

What is linear charge distribution?

Answer 1

Answer:

When the charge is non-uniformly distributed over the length of a conductor, it is called linear charge distribution. It is also called linear charge density and is denoted by the symbol λ (Lambda). Mathematically linear charge density is. The unit of linear charge density is C/m.

Answer 2

Answer:

when the charge is distributed along a line (straight or curved) , then the charge distribution is called linear charge distribution.
