Question

An electric charge is spread over a rectangular region  Find the total charge on R if the charge density at a point  in R (measured in coulombs per square meter)is

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the total charge on the rectangle, we need to multiply the charge density by the area of the rectangle. The area of the rectangle R is given by:
Area of rectangle R = length x width = (5 m) x (3 m) = 15 m²
So, the total charge on the rectangle R is given by:
Total charge on rectangle R = charge density x Area of rectangle R
Total charge on rectangle R = (2.5 x 10^(-6) C/m²) x (15 m²)
Total charge on rectangle R = 3.75 x 10^(-5) C
Now, we can see that the answer is closest to choice C, which is 11eaae29_f445_0ef4_87fe_cb9ed7d4f3ff_TB2067_11. Therefore, the best choice is C.
