Consider a uniformly charged thin rod with
total charge Q and length L. It is aligned
along the y-axis and centered at the origin
(see fig 8-3hw). We wish to determine the
field at P due to the charges on the rod.

Because the rod is centered at the origin,
symmetry tells us the electric field at P must
point in the direction. Based on the differ-
ential form
sin a,
dE,= k
determine the integrated expression for E, at
P.
{Hint: use the math identity dy/p² = da/r.
This identity can be derived using the geo-
metric relation tana = r/(-y) (1), and the
calculus identity dtan a/da = sec² a = p²/y²
(2).}
