We have discussed in lecture that the electric potential at a point near an infinitely long straight line with evenly distributed charges can only take locations 1 m away as reference and be calculated by V 22 Inr. Here is the density of charge (charge taken by unit length of the line), and r is the distance of the point to this line. If right below the point, another point charge Q with charge q is added (see the drawing), what should be the new relationship between V and r?
