A uniform line charge of linear charge density = 2.9 nC/m extends from x = 0 to x = 5 m.
a) What is the total charge?
b) Find the electric field on the x axis at x = 6 m.
c)Find the electric field on the x axis at x = 11 m.
d)Find the electric field on the x axis at x = 250 m
e) Find the field at x = 250 m, using the approximation that the charge is a point charge at the origin.
f)Compare your result with that for the exact calculation in part (d).
