Oh okay I see it. sorry I converted everything to meters. So then my answer would be the same as yours 999.99 which would be 1 x 10^3 . Thank you guys so much. I was having trouble with this because the logic just didnt make any sense. I gather I could've conceptually answered the problem but I...

okay so E = k2lambda/r (2000*.05)/2k =5.56x10^-9 = lambda plug this in 5.56x10^-9 * k * 2 / .1 = E = 9.8x10^4 still not any of the answers

The electric field strength 5 cm from a very long charged wire is 2000N/C . What is the field strength 10 cm from wire. A)1x10^-4 N/C B)1x10^3 N/C C)9.9x10^7 N/C D) None of these I have E=kq/r^2 and infinite line charge E=(2k\lambda)/R 2000 * .05 m^2 /K =q q=5.56 E-8 k5.56E-8/.^21 m =...
