Expert Solution
Step 1: Outline steps to solve the problem

We will first write expression for electric potential and electric field due to a point charge. We then use them to find electric potential and electric field at point P2 due to a small charge element of rod. We then integrate these expressions to find the electric potential and electric field due to entire charge of rod. The detailed steps are as follows.
