Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:

The charge per unit length of filament is: λ = -90.6μC/m

The electric field is: E

Let us consider the filament as a cylinder.

(1)The expression for an electric field by using Gauss law is given as,

Physics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Here, εo is the free space permittivity = 8.85 ×10-12 F/m.

Put all known values in the above expression and calculate the value of the electric field at r = 10 cm = 0.1m.

Physics homework question answer, step 1, image 2

Thus, the value of electric field at r = 10 cm = 0.10 m is -16.32 MN/C.
