Problem-Solving Strategy 26.2 for continuous charge distribution problems.

A straight wire of length L has a positive charge Q distributed along its length. Find the magnitude of the electric field due to the wire at a point located a distance d from one end of the wire along the line extending from the wire.

Find Enet, the magnitude of the electric field at point P due to the total charge.

Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables Q, L, and d, and the constants ? and ?0.
