Q 1 a V X A thin rod of length 1 carries charge Q (Q> 0), spread uniformly. Point a is at distance r above the middle; point b is at distance r from the right end. (a) Find the E-field vector at point a. (b) Find the E-field vector at point b. (c) If r>l, what is the formula for the E-field magnitude at each point? Do these formula make sense? Explain briefly.
