Question
**Problem Statement:**

Consider a rod of length \( L \) carrying a charge \( q \) distributed uniformly over its length.

A diagram is shown with:
- A horizontal rod of length \( L \).
- A point \( P \) located at a distance \( a \) from the near end of the rod along the line extending from the rod.
- The charge \( q \) is distributed along the rod.

Where applicable, let \( V(r \to \infty) = 0 \).

**Questions:**

**a.** What is the voltage \( V \) at point \( P \) (at distance \( a \) away from the near end of the rod) due to the charge over the length of the rod? Express your answer in terms of given parameters (\( L, q, a \)) and physical constants (\( k_e, \varepsilon_0 \)). Use underscore ("_") for subscripts and spell out Greek letters.

*Hint for (a)*

\[ V_P = \text{(Fill in the expression here)} \]

**b.** Calculate the electric field at point \( P \) by differentiating \( V \) with respect to \( a \). Let positive sign of \( E \) indicate direction of electric field pointing away from the rod.

*Hint for (b)*

\[ E = \text{(Fill in the expression here)} \]
