Transcribed Image Text:A thin rod lies on the z-axis with one end at - A and the other end at A, as shown in the diagram. A charge of Q is spread uniformly over
the surface of the rod. We want to set up an integral to find the electric field at location < 0, y, 0> due to the rod. Following the
procedure discussed in the textbook, we have cut up the rod into small segments, each of which can be considered as a point charge. We
have selected a typical piece, shown in red on the diagram.
* Your answer is incorrect.
For a disk of radius R = 22 cm and Q = 4x 106 C, calculate the electric field 2 cm from the center of the disk using all three
formulas below, and using the accurate value 0 = 8.85 x 10-12 C²/(N-m²).

(b) less accurate approximation: E =
