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.

PSS 26.2 The Electric Field of a Continuous Distribution of Charge Learning Goal: To practice 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. (Figure 1) Figure 1 of 1 +++ L +++++ P Solve Correct Since the point at which you want to calculate Elies on a straight line extending from the wire, E must be din axis to be parallel to the wire, as we did in Part A, we simplified the problem: Now the y component of the fiel the magnitude of its x component. Part C 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.
