LC-5 A line of length L with constant linear charge density +(C/m) lies on the x axis. A point P lies on the perpendicular bisector of the line (the y axis). a) Show the details of the symmetry argument (pick dq's and show their dE's) to explain which of the two components (x or y) of the net field at point P are equal to zero due to the entire line of charge.
