I wanted to find the elecric field of the rod to the left and then find the force element acting on the right rod.
I got;
[tex] E=\frac{k_eQ}{d(2a+d)}[/tex]
This can be all right, but what is "d"?
now,
[tex] dF=E\ldot dx[/tex]
then what shoudl I use for integration limit?

If you find the electric field at a certain point of the rood on the right, the force acting on a line element of that rode at x is
[tex]dF= Q/2a *E* dx[/tex]
The integration should go along the length of the rood, that is from b-a to b+a.

and that is what I did! but I find my integration limits not as those in the answer book.
as for d, sorry, it is b-2a.

Electric force is a fundamental force of nature that describes the interaction between charged particles. Integration, specifically the integration of electric fields, is used to mathematically calculate the force between two charged particles.
Finding electric force through integration can be difficult because it requires a strong understanding of mathematical concepts such as calculus and vector analysis. It also involves complex equations and calculations that can be challenging to solve.
Finding electric force through integration is crucial in understanding the behavior of electrically charged particles in many real-world applications. It is used in the design of electrical circuits, the study of electromagnetic fields, and the development of technologies such as motors and generators.
The electric force between two charged particles is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This means that as the distance between the particles increases, the force decreases. Conversely, if the distance between the particles decreases, the force increases.
Yes, electric force can be both repulsive and attractive. Like charges (positive and positive or negative and negative) will repel each other, while opposite charges (positive and negative) will attract each other. The strength of the force is determined by the magnitude of the charges and the distance between them.
