An infinitely long thin straight wire has a uniform linear charge density of $\frac{1}{3} \text{ C m}^{-1}$. The magnitude of the force acting on a charge of $3 \mu\text{C}$ situated at a point $18 \text{ cm}$ away from the wire is:
$\left(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \text{ N m}^2 \text{ C}^{-2}\right)$
