Problem 4. A line of charge starts at the origin and extends along the y-axis to positive infinity. The line carries a uniform linear charge density of 0. (a) Set up the integrals needed to find the electric field on the x-axis. (b) Evaluate those integrals. (c) Compare your result to the result we saw in class for the field from an infinitely long line of charge. Why does this result make sense? Problem 4.
