Charge Density Calculator
The Charge Density Calculator will calculate the:
- Linear charge density of a conducting wire
- Area charge density of a conducting wire
- Volume charge density of a conducting wire
Calculator Settings: Medium is considered as uniform; the wire is considered at the same thickness everywhere.
The linear charge density of a conducting wire is C/m [Coulomb per metre] |
The area charge density of a conducting wire is C/m2 [Coulomb per square metre] |
The volume charge density of a conducting wire is C/m3 [Coulomb per cubic metre] |
