charge density λ=48.0μC/m lies along the positive Y axis whose one end is at the origin O. A point charge q=49.0μC lies on the X axis at (44,0,0) and point P lies on the Z axis at 13m from the origin. Here the coordiates are given in meters. Given, the electric field at P due to only the point charge q: x - component = -200.6 y - component = 0 z - component = 59.3 a) Find the x, y and z components of the electric field at P due to the line of charge only. (Hint: You may have to do an integration.)
Use the following constants if necessary. Coulomb constant, k=8.987×109N⋅m2/C2. Vacuum permittivity, ϵ0=8.854×10−12F/m. The magnitude of the Charge of one electron, e=−1.60217662×10−19C. Mass of one electron, me=9.10938356×10−31kg. Unless specified otherwise, each symbol carries its usual meaning. For example, μC means microcoulomb.
