In Fig. 22-50 positive charge q = 8.40 pC is spread uniformly along a thin nonconducting rod of length L = 12.0 cm. What are the (a)x- and (b)y- components of the electric field (in N/C) produced at point P, at distance R = 8.00 cm from the rod along its perpendicular bisector? - How are they working this integral?
A positively charged rod with linear charge density λ lies along the x-axis (Fig. P24.23). Find an expression for the magnitude of the electric field at the position P at a distance x away from the origin, where x>L.
