Homework Statement
An infinite line charge (wire) has lambda = lambda0. It produces an electric field of magnitude 5E4 N/C at a distance of 2m. Determine the typical force between two adjacent extra electrons in the wire
Homework Equations
E_line = lambda/(2pi*r*epsilon0)
The Attempt at a Solution
I managed to find lambda0 using the above equation, but now I'm stuck trying to find the force between the two electrons, how do I find thelectricity e spacing between them given the linear charge density, can anyone help me?
