Question

Find the electric field (magnitude and direction as measured from the x axis) at the point P which is located along the x axis at x_P = 10.1 m.

A finite line of charge with linear charge density λ = 3.20 Times 10^-6 C/m, and length L = 0.896 m is located along the x axis (from x = 0 to x = L). A point charge of q = -7.32 × 10^-7 C is located at the point x₀ = 1.56 m, y₀ = 3.25 m. Find the electric field (magnitude and direction as measured from the +x axis) at the point P which is located along the x axis at x_p = 10.1 m.  

The Coulomb force constant k = 1/(4 π ε₀) = 8.99 Times 10⁹ N·m²/C².
