Homework Statement
The figure shows a positively charged plastic rod of length L = 2.40 m and uniform linear charge density 8.00×10-3 C/m. Setting V= 0 at infinity, find the electric potential at point P for d = 1.536 m.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Alright, I plugged in the values to this formula. It should be setup as:
(2)*(8.99e9)*(8e-3)*ln[((2.4/4) + sqrt((2.4)^2/4 + (1.536)^2))/1.536]
All of this churns out to be 72811647.46708032. However, this is not correct. Any ideas?
