Question
Define volume density of charge and write its S.I. unit ?
✓
Answer
Volume charge density: When the charge density is throughout the volume of a body, then the charge per unit volume is called volume charge density and it is represented by
$\rho=\frac{q}{V}$
Hence the unit of $\rho$ is $C/m^{3}$
$\rho=\frac{q}{V}$
Hence the unit of $\rho$ is $C/m^{3}$
