A volume charge density is known to be Delta(n, deg, z) in cylindrical coordinates. What is the appropriate expression to evaluate the total charge (for an arbitrary geometry)
Two 1.20 m non-conductive wires form a right angle. A segment has +2.50 µC of charge, distributed evenly along its length; while the other segment has -2.50 µC of charge, distributed uniformly along its length, as illustrated in the figure. Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field produced by these wires at point P, which is 60.0 cm from each wire.
