A thin rod of length t and uniform charge per unit length A lies along the x-axis as shown in the figure below. (Submit a file with a maximum size of 1 MB.) (a) Show that the electric field at P, a distance d from the rod along its perpendicular bisector, has no x component and is given by E=2k sin(eJ/d. (b) Using your result to part (a), show that the field of a rod of infinite length is E P.
