So here is the problem, there is thin rod of length L with total charge Q. The rod was placed so it is along the y-axis. From the rod a distance x is point P
Find an expression for the electric fields E at distance x from the end of the rod. Give your answer in component form
F= qE
Delta Q= Lambda* Delta L (linearly charged density)
E= integrate of delta E
I integrate and found the x-component of the electric fields but haven't been able to figure the y-component...I'm not sure what is the limit for the y-component (my limit for x-component was 0 to L)
Thanks for all the helps
