Positive charge Q is distributed uniformly along the positive y-axis between and . A negative point charge lies on the positive x-axis, a distance x from the origin (Figure 1).
Part A: Calculate the x-component of the electric field produced by the charge distribution Q at points on the positive x-axis. Express your answer in terms of the variables Q, x, y, a and appropriate constants.
Part B: Calculate the y-component of the electric field produced by the charge distribution Q at points on the positive x-axis. Express your answer in terms of the variables Q, x, y, a and appropriate constants.
Part C: Calculate the x-component of the force that the charge distribution Q exerts on q. Express your answer in terms of the variables Q, q, x, y, a and appropriate constants.
Part D: Calculate the y-component of the force that the charge distribution Q exerts on q. Express your answer in terms of the variables Q, q, x, y, a and appropriate constants.
