Homework Statement
A uniformly charged rod is places along the x-axis from x=0 to x= L. carefully set up, but do not solve the proper integral to determine the x component of the electric field at the point (L,a)
Homework Equations
E=u[tex]
\int \frac{dq}{(r^2)}
[/tex]
for a line dq=λdl
The Attempt at a Solution
i know for a line dq=λdl
i think its something along the lines of
Ey=Kλy=[tex]
\int \frac{dx}{(x^2y^2)^(3/2)}
[/tex] from 0 to L
I have no idea if this is right. I am using my notes to guide me.
