An infinite plane sheet of charge having uniform surface charge density + s C/m2 is placed on x-y plane. Another infinitely long line charge having uniform linear charge density + e C/m is placed at z=4 m plane and parallel to y-axis. If the magnitude values | s|=2| e| then at point (0,0,2), the ratio of magnitudes of electric field values due to sheet charge to that of line charge is n:1. The value of n is .
Answer
16
Solution

Sheet: Es= s2 0 (independent of distance)
Line: El= e2 0 r, r=4-2=2 m El= e4 0
EsEl= s2 0 4 0 e=2 s e
=2 2=4 = 16
n=16
Answer: 16
