Question
The charge per unit length on the thin rod shown below is λ.λ. What is the electric force on the point charge q? Solve this problem by first considering the electric force dF⃗ dF→ on q due to a small segment dxdx of the rod, which contains charge λdx.λdx. Then, find the net force by integrating dF⃗ dF→ over the length of the rod.
