CALC Positive charge Q is distributed uniformly along the positive y -axis between y = 0 and y = a. A negative point charge -q lies on the positive x-axis, a distance x from the origin (Fig. P21.82). (a) Calculate the x- and y-components of the electric field produced by the charge distribution Q at points on the positive x -axis. (b) Calculate the x- and y-components of the force that the charge distribution Q exerts on q. (c) Show that if x >> a, Explain why this result is obtained.
