Ok really stuggling with this, and this is the last in the set
lets say there's a rod on the Y and there is a test charge Q located a distance D from the rod on the 45degree line that bisects the x and y axes. (that is the line f(x) = x, identity function) Write an equation in vector component form (?) for hte force on this charge.
Started off like this
I'd do the Forces of x direction i nthree parts for the top , middle and bottom
for the top integrate from 0 to d-L/2 for kQ(lambda)d dL/(2d^2 + L^2/4 - 2dL)
am i on the right track? or am i going off on a tangent
Please do not suggest gauss law i don't know how to use it
