Question
A uniformly charge rod of length L and total charge Q lies along the x axis as show in the figure below. (Use the following a necessary: Q,L,d, and ke)
a) Find the components of the electric field at the point P on the y axis a distance d from the origin
b) What are the approximate values of the field components when d>>L?
Explain why you would get these results

Transcribed Image Text:The diagram illustrates a uniformly charged rod lying along the x-axis, extending from the origin \( O \) to a point \( L \). The rod is depicted in red and is labeled with its length \( L \). From the origin \( O \), the y-axis extends vertically.
Point \( P \) is marked on the y-axis at a distance \( d \) above the origin. The layout suggests an exploration of the electric field or potential due to the rod at point \( P \).
Key points:
- The red rod is positioned along the x-axis with length \( L \).
- The vertical distance from \( O \) to point \( P \) is denoted as \( d \).
- Coordinates are labeled as \( x \) and \( y \) for respective axes.
The diagram likely accompanies a problem or explanation about calculating electric fields or potentials at various points around a charged object.
