Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

Question

### Configuration 4

Now we want to look at a charge distribution. You have a total charge of +6.00 nC spread along a line (with a uniform charge density). This charge is spread over 0.5 m in length.

Calculate the electric field at a position P, which is 1.5 m away from the closest end of the line of charge (see the image below).

#### Image Description:
The provided image shows a graphical representation of the charge distribution and the point at which the electric field is to be calculated. The total charge, denoted as +6.00 nC, is distributed uniformly along a line segment of length 0.5 m. Point P is located 1.5 m away from the nearest end of this line segment.

The diagram breaks down as follows:
- A solid black line represents the 0.5 m length where the charge is distributed.
- A point labeled "Pt. P" is shown 1.5 m away from the end of this charge distribution line.
- The total distance from the start of the charge distribution to point P is 2.0 m.

The distances between the charge distribution and point P are highlighted:
- 0.5 m for the length of the charge distribution.
- 1.5 m for the length between the end of the charge distribution and point P.

#### Figure 1d:

Below this diagram is a table titled:

#### Electric Field – Configuration 4

| Predicted Electric Field at Point P |
|-------------------------------------|
| |

The table is intended for the predicted electric field at point P based on this configuration.

This setup and calculation demonstrate the principles of electric fields due to a line of charge, which is essential for understanding electrostatic effects in uniformly charged distributions.
