Homework Statement
The figure is a cross section of two infinite lines of charge that extend out of the page. Both have linear charge density [tex]\lambda[/tex]. Find an expression for the electric field strength E at the heigth y above the midpoint between the lines.
Homework Equations
Well E = [tex]\frac{1}{4\Pi\epsilon_{0}}[/tex][tex]\frac{2\lambda}{r}[/tex] for an infinite line of charge.
The Attempt at a Solution
I am not quite sure what this question is asking. I think I have to integrate that formula to get an expression at y but I am not sure.
