Back to 5.5 Calculating Electric Fields of Charge Distributions

5.5 Exercise 17

Avg difficulty 2.5

Charge is distributed along the entire x-axis with uniform density λx\lambda_{x} and along the entire y-axis with uniform density λy.\lambda_{y} . Calculate the resulting electric field at (a) r→=ai^+bj^\overset{\rightarrow}{\text{r}} = a \hat{\text{i}} + b \hat{\text{j}} and (b) r→=ck^.\overset{\rightarrow}{\text{r}} = c \hat{\text{k}} .
