A negatively-charged object creates an electric field which can be measured at various locations in the region about it. An electric field vector is drawn for point X. Use your understanding of the electric field - distance relationship to draw E vectors for points A - E. (The length of the arrow should be indicative of the relative strength of the E vector.)
You have the same line of charge in the previous problem (with +6.00 nC of charge on it). But now you are measuring the electric field 1.5 m above the center of the rod – see image below. Predict the electric field at Point P in this diagram. Make sure to include a direction with your answer.
Explain, giving detailed steps, how
you would determine the electric
field vector at point P. Give an
expression for the electric field
vector at point P if |g |= 0.1 nC
and a = 0.01 metre.
