Gauss's Law problem: An infinite, uniform, line of charge is on the x-axis. The linear charge density is (lambda), with units of C/m. Find an expression for the electric field at a particular y-value on the y-axis at x=0, using Gauss's Law. Do this problem as if (lambda) is positive -- the answer is valid regardless of the sign. Pick a shape for your Gaussian surface. Since you don't know the value (or expression) for E, you must pick a surface where the electric flux is either EA or zero. (E must be uniform over the surface for EA.)
