An infinitely long thin straight wire has a uniform linear charge density of $\frac{1}{3} \, C \cdot m^{-1}$. The magnitude of the electric field intensity at a point $18 \, cm$ away is (given $\varepsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, C^2 \cdot N^{-1} \cdot m^{-2}$):

  • A
    $0.33 \times 10^{11} \, N \cdot C^{-1}$
  • B
    $3 \times 10^{11} \, N \cdot C^{-1}$
  • C
    $0.66 \times 10^{11} \, N \cdot C^{-1}$
  • D
    $1.32 \times 10^{11} \, N \cdot C^{-1}$
