Chapter 4, Problem 16P
A line of charge with uniform density ρl extends between z = –L/2 and z = L/2 along the z axis. Apply Coulomb’s law to obtain an expression for the electric field at any point P (r, ϕ, 0) on the x–y plane. Show that your result reduces to the expression given by (4.33) as the length L is extended to infinity.
