Step 1
The electric field due to an infinitely long rod at a point P located at a distance r from the rod can be calculated using the formula: E = (λ / (2πε₀r)) * (1 / √(1 + (L / (2r))²)) where E is the electric field, λ is the line charge density (1 C/m in this Show more…

Calculate the magnitude and direction of the electric field $2.0 \mathrm{m}$ from a long wire that is charged uniformly at $\lambda=4.0 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{C} / \mathrm{m}$
A thin rod of length L=11.6 m carries a uniform charge q=2.8 μμ along its length. Take Coulomb's constant as k=9 x 10^9 N m^2 / C^2. Determine the magnitude of the electric field at point A. Express your answer using 1 decimal place without entering the units.
