Homework Statement
2 1.2m nonconducting wires meet at a right angle. One segment carries +2.5*10-6 C of charge distributed uniformly along its length, and the other carries -2.5*10-6 C distributed uniformly along it. Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field these wires produce at point P, which is .06 m from each wire.
Homework Equations
|E|=|kQ/r2|
The Attempt at a Solution
I have the solutions manual so I don't care for knowing how to solve it. I just want to know as to why I can't take the integral of (kQ/2r)dr with limits from -.08485(the distance from P to the tip of the wire) to +.08485.
