Question

A finite rod of length L lies along the x axis with its center at the origin where one end point is located at ($-L/2$,0) and the other is located at ($L/2$,0). The rod has a total charge of q. Define the electric potential to be zero at an infinite distance away from the rod. Calculate the electric potential at point B, located at distance d from one end of the rod.

Step 1

To do this, we can use the formula for the electric potential due to a point charge: V = k * q / r where V is the electric potential, k is the Coulomb's constant (k = 9 * 10^9 Nm^2/C^2), q is the charge, and r is the distance from the charge. Show more…
