3. A very long straight conductor is charged with a linear charge density pe C/m.
(a) Determine the electrostatic potential at a point a distance p from the conductor.
(b) Use in part a to calculate the vector electric field intensity at that point.
(c) Use Coulomb's law and use symmetry considerations to calculate the electric field
intensity at the point described in part a.
(d) Construct a suitable Gaussian surface around the charged conductor and use Gauss's
law to determine the electric field intensity at the point described in part a.
(e) Compare the obtained results for the parts b to d.
