A uniformly charged rod of length
L
and total charge
Q
lies along the
x
axis as shown in in the figure below. (Use the following as necessary:
Q,L,d
, and
k_(e)
.) (a) Find the components of the electric field at the point
P
on the
y
axis a distance
d
from the origin.
E_(x)=

(b) What are the approximate values of the field components when
d≫L
?
E_(x)~~
◻
E_(y)~~
