First, we know that the electric field due to an infinite line of charge is given by the formula

An infinite line of charge runs along the z axis. At a particular point in the x-y plane (x,y) = (1.0m,1.0m), the magnitude of the electric field is E = +2.0x10^4 N/C. What is the linear charge density of the line? i) +0.6 µC/m ii) +1.1 µC/m iii) +1.6 µC/m iv) +4.0 µC/m
