Homework Statement



A line of charge starts at x = +x0 and extends to positive infinity. Consider two situations: tal electric flux through the paraboloidal L
(a) a uniform linear charge density λ = λ0, uniform electric field of magnitude E 0 in
(b) a coordinate-dependent linear FcihgaurgeePd2e4n.1s7ityPrλob(xle)m=s 1λ7 axnd/1x8.. wn in Figure P24.13. 0 0
Determine the electric field at the origin for the both charge densitie

Hi TheParksie101! Welcome to PF! :smile:

Sorry, but your typing is a bit garbled. :redface:

Generally, with these problems you find the field from a tiny section from x to x + dx, and then integrate over all values of x. :wink:
