Problem $3$ Solving computationally

Note what a pain it would be if you broke the rod into $100$ pieces and had to calculate electric field by hand! That$$s why you prefer to solve it analytically. However, not all charge distributions are easily solved analytically. Furthermore, what if the point P

was not along an axis of symmetry? That$$s why we write computer programs to do the numeric calculation.

You can either

Write a computer program that computes the electric field for the situation as in Exercise $2($with the rod broken into only $6$ pieces$).$ Compare the result given by your program to the result found in Exercise $2.$ It should be the same. Or$,$

Use a spreadsheet such as Excel or Google Sheets to compute the electric field for the situation as in Exercise $2($with the rod broken into only $6$ pieces$).$ Compare the result given by your program to the result found in Exercise $2.$ It should be the same.
