The electric field at the distance of 3.5 meters from an infinite wall of charges is 125 n/c. what is the magnitude of the electric field 1.5 meters from the wall?

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance, r = 3.5 m

Electric field due to an infinite wall of charges, E = 125 N/C

We need to find the electric field 1.5 meters from the wall, r' = 1.5 m. Let it is equal to E'. For an infinite wall of charge the electric field is given by :

It is clear that the electric field is inversely proportional to the distance. So,

E' = 291.67 N/C

So, the magnitude of the electric field 1.5 meters from the wall is 291.67 N/C. Hence, this is the required solution.

this would be about 43%
