A length d of the charge lies on the Z-axis infree space. The charge density on the line is pL=+C/m(0<z<d/2) and pL=−p0C/m(−d/2<z<0)
where P0 is a possitive constant. (a) Find the electric field intensity E everywhere in the xy plane, expressing your result as a function of cylindrical radius p, (b) simplify your part a result for the case in radius pd, and express this result in terms of charge q=p0d/2.

(a)
The electric field intensity in x-y plane, as a function of cylindrical radius ρ.
Answer to Problem 2.17P
The required electric field intensity is:
→E(ρ)=−ρ02πε0ρ(1−(1+d24ρ2)−1/2)ˆaz V/m.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The line charge density is given as,
ρL={+ρ0 C/m0<z<d/2−ρ0 C/m−d/2<z<0
Calculation:
Let (x,y,0) be a point on x-y plane, and (0,0,z) is a point on line charge. Then differential electric field,
d→E=ρL(xˆax+yˆay−zˆaz)4πε0(x2+y2+z2)3/2
So, the electric field intensity:
→E=∫d→E=d/2∫−d/2ρL(xˆax+yˆay−zˆaz)4πε0(x2+y2+z2)3/2dz
=0∫−d/2−ρ0(xˆax+yˆay−zˆaz)4πε0(x2+y2+z2)3/2dz+d/2∫0ρ0(xˆax+yˆay−zˆaz)4πε0(x2+y2+z2)3/2dz
=ρ04πε0[0∫−d/2zˆaz(x2+y2+z2)3/2dz−d/2∫0zˆaz(x2+y2+z2)3/2dz]
=ρ04πε0([−1(x2+y2+z2)1/2]0−d/2−[−1(x2+y2+z2)1/2]d/20)ˆaz
=−ρ04πε0([1(x2+y2)1/2−1(x2+y2+(d/2)2)1/2]−[1(x2+y2+(d/2)2)1/2−1(x2+y2)1/2])ˆaz
=−2ρ04πε0(1(x2+y2)1/2−1(x2+y2+(d/2)2)1/2)ˆaz
So, in cylindrical coordinates,
→E(ρ)=−2ρ04πε0(1ρ−1(ρ2+(d/2)2)1/2)ˆaz∵x2+y2=ρ2=−ρ02πε0ρ(1−1(1+(d/2ρ)2)1/2)ˆaz=−ρ02πε0ρ(1−(1+d24ρ2)−1/2)ˆaz V/m
Conclusion:
The required electric field intensity is:
→E(ρ)=−ρ02πε0ρ(1−(1+d24ρ2)−1/2)ˆaz V/m.

(b)
The electric field intensity in x-y plane for ρ≫d.
Answer to Problem 2.17P
The required electric field intensity is,
→E(ρ≫d)=−qd4πε0ρ3ˆaz V/m.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The line charge density is given as,
ρL={+ρ0 C/m0<z<d/2−ρ0 C/m−d/2<z<0
→E(ρ)=−ρ02πε0ρ(1−(1+d24ρ2)−1/2)ˆaz V/mq=ρ0d/2
Calculation:
The electric field intensity,
→E(ρ≫d)=−ρ02πε0ρ(1−(1+d24ρ2)−1/2)ˆaz=−ρ02πε0ρ(1−(1+d24ρ2)−1)ˆaz∵(1+d24ρ2)1/2≈(1+d24ρ2)=−ρ02πε0ρ(d24ρ2+d2)=−ρ02πε0ρ(d24ρ2)∵4ρ2+d2≈4ρ2=−2q2πε0ρd(d24ρ2)∵q=ρ0d/2=−qd4πε0ρ3ˆaz V/m
Conclusion:
The required electric field intensity is,
→E(ρ≫d)=−qd4πε0ρ3ˆaz V/m.

There are several systems to control this temperature, the two best known are: • The classic one that uses a thermostat that regulates the flow of coolant (water), and where the fan is mechanically coupled to the engine. • In more recent vehicles, in addition to the thermostat, a temperature controller is used that turns an electric fan on and off.
