4. An infinite line of charge has a uniform linear charge density of 14 C/m. a) What is the net electric field strength at a point 6.0 m above the line? In which direction is the electric field pointing at that point? b) What is the net electric force on a point charge of 2.0 C placed at that point?

An infinite line charge of uniform linear charge density lambda = -2.8 μC/m lies parallel to the y-axis at x = 0 m. A point charge of 2.2 μC is located at x = 1.5 m, y = 2.5 m. Find the x-component of the electric field at x = 2.5 m, y = 2.0 m. kN/C
