The Electric Field of a Line of Charge calculator computes by superposing the point charge fields of infinitesmal charge elements

The equation is expressed as

`E=2klambda/r`

where

  • `E` is the electric field
  • `k` is the constant
  • `lambda` is the charge per unit length
  • `r` is the distance

Note1:       k =  1/(4 π ε0) 

Note2:      ε0 is thePermittivity  of a vacuum and equal to 8.854187817E-12 F/m

We would like some help with the units on this formula.  If you know them, please us CONTACT US below.
