Question:
A rod of length L has a charge Q uniformly distributed along its length. The rod lies along the x axis with its center at the origin.
(a) What is the electric potential as a function of position along the x axis for x > L/2?
(b) Show that for x >> L/2, your result reduces to that due to a point charge Q.

I am a student at IIT Kanpur , which is one of the prestigious colleges in INDIA.
Cleared JEE Advance in 2017.I am a flexible teacher because I understand that all students learn in different ways and at different paces. When teaching, I make sure that every student has a grasp of the subject before moving on.
I will help student to get the basic understanding clear. I believe friendly behavior with student can help both the student and the teacher.
I love science and my students do the same.
