Thanks for the welcome & response! :) So, dq = lambda * dx (seems) to make sense, but I think I'm missing the bigger picture. Given the final equation in the above solution, am I expected to calculate lambda before I can solve for the magnitude? If so, I'm not sure how...

Homework Statement Calculate the electric field at point ##P## if the distance from the center of an infinitely long, charged rod to point ##P## is ##a = 0.6m##; the charge density equals ##\lambda = -CX^2##, ##C=10^{-3}C/m^3##. Show all steps in finding the equation of the field, then find the...
