Two infinite line charges having linear charge density λ₁ and λ₂ are placed along the x and y axis respectively. The electric field at a point (x₁, y₁) in the first quadrant is inclined at an angle of 60° with the x-axis. Then which of the following relations is correct.
Two infinite line charges having linear charge density λ₁ and λ₂ are placed along the x and y axis respectively. The electric field at a point (x₁, y₁) in the first quadrant is inclined at an angle of 60° with the x-axis. Then which of the following relations is correct.
tan 60° = (2kλ? /y? )/ (2kλ? /x? )
(√3λ? /x? ) = (λ? /y? ); √3λ? y? = λ? x?
