What is the number of electric field lines coming out from a 1C charge?(a) 9*10^9(b) 8.85*10^-12(c) \(\frac {1}{8.85}\)*10^-12(d) InfiniteThe question was posed to me in exam.This intriguing question comes from Gauss’s Law topic in section Charges and Fields of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The correct choice is (c) \(\frac {1}{8.85}\)*10^-12

To elaborate: According to GAUSS’s LAW, the total number of electric FIELD lines coming out of a charge q is = \(\frac {q}{\varepsilon_o}\) where εo is the ABSOLUTE permittivity of air. Its value is 8.85*10^-12. THEREFORE the number of lines coming out from a 1C charge = \(\frac {1}{8.85}\)*10^-12.
