Finite Line charge above one end - Find the Electric field due to a uniform finite line charge of density ̀ and length L. The left end of the line charge lies at the origin and the charge extends in the negative x-direction. Find the electric field at the location (0,y).

Consider a finite line charge with uniform charge density ̃ and length L: a) Using the following expression for electric potential V = 1 / (4̵̀₀) ∫ dq / r, find the electric potential a distance x to the right of the line charge at the point P. b) Show that if x >> L your answer to part a) looks like the electric potential of a point charge. The following might be helpful: ln(1 + z) = z - 1/2!z² + 1/3!z³ + ..., for -1 < z ≤ 1.
