Question

I need help can you label which one is A,B,C and D

Problem 2: Figure 2 shows a thin rod of length L with total charge Q
(distributed uniformly along the rod). Find an expression for the electric
field E at point P. Give your answer in component form.
a) Figure 2 shows a representative infinitesimal element dy along
the rod and the field dE created by this element in point P. If the rod
is charged uniformly along its length, what is the amount of charge dq
contained in the element dy? Use it to compute the magnitude of the
electric field dĒ in point P (make sure to express it in terms of x, y, and
constant parameters of the system).

b) Find x and y-components of the field dE (dEx and dEy). You can use angle at the intermediate
steps, but eventually express everything in terms of x, y, and constant parameters of the system. Note
that one of the components must be negative (which one?).
c) Integrate the x-component of de over the rod to find the x-component of the total field, Ex =
(insert the limits of integration yourself). The integral that you need to use here is ² dt
fdEx
(a²+1²)3/2
=
²√²+ where t is the variable of integration, and a is a constant. You need to figure out which of
the variables in dEx plays the role of the variable of integration, and what plays the role of constant a.
d) Integrate the y-component of de over the rod to find the y-component of the total field, Ey = | dEy.
Here, you need to use the integral (41) 3/2
