    Determine the potential energy function of the charged particle

    So what would happen if the linear charge is infinitely long?

    I understand that you need to integrate f(x), and the negative of that is U(x). But the last part of the problem says "Clearly state any assumptions you make." And the answer is just the antiderivative of that f(x) without any constant from integrationHow does that make sense

    E final = (1/2)(500)(1.14012)^2 = 324.968 J E initial = (1/2)(500)(0.5)^2 = 62.5 J E final - E initial = 262.468 J
