Homework Statement
A rod of length 25 cm has a uniform linear charge density of 7 μC/m. Determine the Electric Field at a point P located at a perpendicular distance 69 cm along a line of symmetry of the rod.
Homework Equations
E=k*charge density(integral(dx/(d^2+x^2)^3/2)
The Attempt at a Solution
x=.69tan(theta)
dx=(.69)sec^2(theta)dtheata
Thus,
.125=pi/18
Hence, I have found
=(9*10^9)*(7*10^-6)*2.1004*(sin(pi/18)-sin(-pi/18))
My final answer is 45956.1 but it's wrong.
Thank you for any input at all. Also, I'm not sure what mode is my calculator suppose to be on.
