A 10-cm-long thin glass rod uniformly charged to 7.00 nCnC and a 10-cm-long thin plastic rod uniformly charged to - 7.00 nCnC are placed side by side, 4.10 cmcm apart. What are the electric field strengths E1E1 to E3E3 at distances 1.0 cm, 2.0 cm, and 3.0 cm from the glass rod along the line connecting the midpoints of the two rods?
Specify the electric field strength E1, E2, and E3?
The electric field due to both rods will be in the same direction and hence we find the net field by adding the magnitude of two fields as shown below.
