Consider an infinite line of charge, with linear charge density +22.5 x 10-12 C/m. This line of charge is parallel to the z-axis and intersects the x-y plane on the x axis at x = -5.6 m.
Now consider a second infinite line of charge, with identical linear charge density +22.5 x 10-12 C/m. This line of charge is also parallel to the z-axis and intersects the x-y plane on the x axis at x = +5.6 m.
Calculate the magnitude of electric field, in N/C, on the y-axis at y = 2.8 m. Use ε 0 = 8.9 x 10-12 F/m.
