Is the Calculation of Linear Density k for a Uniformly Charged Bar Correct?
I attached a drawing of the problem for a better understanding and my attempted solutions. The first point is fairly simple but there's something that I can't figure out. dq=λdx=kxdx Q=∫ k x dx from 0 to L -> Q=k[x^2/2]0-L -> Q=(L^2/2)k -> k=2Q/L^2 This is what I came up with. I integrated...- ToucanFodder
