    The surface charge density (in \[C{{m}^{-2}}\]) of the earth is about

    A)  \[{{10}^{-9}}\]            

    B)  \[-{{10}^{-9}}\]

    C)  \[{{10}^{-9}}\]

    D)  \[-{{10}^{-9}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Charge on the earth \[=-0.5\times {{10}^{6}}C\] Charge density \[=\frac{charge}{area}\] Charge density \[=\frac{0.5\times {{10}^{6}}}{4\pi \times {{(6400\times {{10}^{3}})}^{2}}}\] \[=-{{10}^{-9}}C{{m}^{-2}}\]
