Textbook Question

Chapter 20, Problem 77P

A thin rod carries charge Q distributed uniformly over its length L and is situated on the x-axis between x = ±L/2. (a) Find the electric field at an arbitrary point (x,y). (You’ll have to do separate integrals for the x- and y-components.) (b) Show that your result reduces to that of Problem 72 when x = 0 and to that of Problem 57 when y = 0 and x > L/2.
