Pick a random point anywhere on the rod (far from the edges) and consider another infinitesimal piece of the same length the same distance away from the random point you picked as the first piece and the electric field that it produces. How would the electric fields produced by these two pieces add? Would they enhance each other in certain directions? Would they cancel each other in certain directions?
dq = small charge on the small length = dy
small electric field by the small charge at P is given as
dE = k dq/(x2 + y2) = k dy
/(x2 + y2)
the component of electric field along Y-direction , being equal in magnitude and opposite in direction from the small charges on both side , cancel out , hence the net electric field is along X-direction which is given as
E =
dEx =
k dq/(x2 + y2) Cos

A plastic rod 1.8 m long is rubbed all over with wool, and acquires a charge of -3e-08 coulombs. We choose the center of the rod to be the origin of our coordinate system, with the x-axis extending to the right, the y-axis extending up, and the z-axis out of the page. In order to calculate the electric field at location A0.7, 0, 0 > m, we divide...

Consider a rod that is not uniformly charged, but rather has a charge density that increases linearly from right to left over the length of the rod: 2q λ(x) = x. L2 This means that a point charge at position x has a charge dq-λ (x)dx. The rod and its coordinate system are shown below. The total length of the rod is L. Answer the following in terms of q, L, d, and fundamental constants. λ dx correspond to? Evaluate...

Two very large thin conducting plates with the same magnitude charge, but opposite sign, are held near each other. The plates are large enough and close enough together that fringing effects near the edges can be ignored (that is results of the Gauss' law for "infinite" plate apply) The two plates are a distance D apart. The surface area of the face of each plate is A, the total charge on each plate is and -o, and the resulting uniform...
