I don't know if the above equation is actually correct.

A uniformly-charged thin rod is a long, thin object made of a conductive material that has an equal amount of charge distributed throughout its length. This distribution of charge is constant and does not vary along the length of the rod.
The charge on a uniformly-charged thin rod is distributed evenly along its length, meaning that each small segment of the rod has the same amount of charge per unit length. This results in a linear charge density, where the charge per unit length is constant.
The electric field around a uniformly-charged thin rod is directly proportional to the linear charge density and inversely proportional to the distance from the rod. This means that the electric field is strongest close to the rod and decreases as the distance from the rod increases.
The electric field of a uniformly-charged thin rod can be calculated using the formula E = kλ / r, where k is the Coulomb's constant, λ is the linear charge density, and r is the distance from the rod. This formula applies to points outside the rod. For points inside the rod, a different formula must be used.
Uniformly-charged thin rods are commonly used in electrostatics experiments and demonstrations. They are also used in the design of electric generators, where they are rotated to generate electricity. In addition, they play a role in the functioning of some electronic devices, such as CRT televisions and particle accelerators.
