Question: A line charge that has a positive uniform linear charge density lies along the x axis from x = x 1 to x = x

A line charge that has a positive uniform linear charge density lies along the x axis
from x=x1 to x=x2 where x(0,y)yEx=(ky)[cos2-cos1]tan1=x1ytan2=x2yy0yx1. Show that the x component of the electric field ata
point (0,y)on the y-axis is given by
Ex=(ky)[cos2-cos1]
where tan1=x1y and tan2=x2y and y0.
This will be similar to the work we did in class to find the y component.
