A line charge of finite length in free space has a charge density p₁ = Q' along one half
of its length, and p₁ = -Q along the other half of its length, as in the figures depicted
above. Assume Q > 0. The point M is directly above the midway point of the line
charge, at some fixed distance away from it. Which figure best depicts the electric
field E at the point M?
