A nonconducting rod of length L = 9.20 cm and uniform linear charge density ? = +2.32 pC/m. Take V = 0 at infinity. What is V (in V) at point P at distance d = 6.70 cm along the rod's perpendicular bisector?

A semi-infinite nonconducting rod (i.e. infinite in one directiononly) has uniform positive linear charge density lambda. Show thatthe electric field at point P makes an angle of 45 degrees with therod and that this result is independent of the distance R. (HINT:Separately find the parallel and perpendicular (to the rod)components of the electric field at P, and then compare thosecomponents.)

A thin rod of length ℓ and a uniform charge per unit length λ lies along the x-axis as shown in Figure P23.8. (a) Show that the electric field at P, a distance d from the rod along its perpendicular bisector, has no x component and is given by E = 2kλ sin θ0/d. (b) What If? Using your result to part (a), show that the field of a rod of infinite length is E = 2kλ/d.

The electric field at a point on the perpendicular bisector of a charged rod was calculated as the first example of a continuous charge distribution, resulting in Equation:    

a. Find an expression for the electric field when the rod is infinitely long.

b. An infinite long rod with uniform linear charge density also contains an infinite amount of charge. Explain why this still produces an electric field near the rod that is finite.
