Hi,
I am trying to work out the electric field strength associated with a number of different electronic systems at a given distance. I am able to simplify the systems so that I only need worry about the fields from a high-voltage busbar or cable.
I know that electric field strength from a cylindrical wire can be calculated using Gauss' law:
E(R)=[tex]\lambda[/tex]/(2*Pi*epsilon(0)*R),
lambda = charge per unit length, R = radial distance. (sorry about format - couldn't work out the formula writing)
I know the Voltages, and currents, of my various cables but how can I convert them into charge per unit length?
