How is linear charge density related to surface charge density and volume charge density?

Dear student,

Linear Charge Density(l)

Let a charge q be uniformly distributed along a length l, then the linear

SI unit of linear charge is C/m.

Surface Charge Density

Suppose a charge q is uniformly distributed over a surface of area A.

Then the surface density s defined as the charge per unit area.

SI unit of s is C/m².
