What is the unit of surface charge density in the SI unit?(a) C(b) C/m(c) C/m^2(d) C/m^3The question was asked in an internship interview.This question is from Basic Properties of Electric Charge topic in portion Charges and Fields of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Right option is (c) C/m^2

The explanation: SURFACE CHARGE density means how much charge is stored in the unit surface area of a CONDUCTOR. So, it’s unit will be=\(\frac{the \, unit \, of \, the \, charge}{the \, unit \, of \, area}\). In SI the unit of charge is Coulomb and the unit of area is m^2. THEREFORE the REQUIRED unit will be C/m^2.
