Question
A line of charge of length L=29m with charge density λ=43.0μC/m lies along the positive Y-axis whose one end is at the origin O. A point charge q=42.0μC lies on the X-axis at (10,0,0) and point P lies on the Z-axis at 20m from the origin. Here the coordinates are given in meters.
a) Find the electric field at P due to the line of charge only. (Hint: You may have to do an integration.)
I) x-component II) y-component III) z-component
b) Find the net electric field at point P
I) x-component II) y-component III) z-component
