A positive charge +Q is distributed uniformly along the negative y-axis ([0, -L]) while a negative charge -Q is distributed uniformly along the positive y-axis ([0, +L]) as shown. YA . . o Eine 0 +Q a. If the point P lies on the positive x-axis a distance x from the origin, the electric field at Pis given by 2 1 20 P X X 1 1/2 (x² + L²) ¹²) -Ĵ Explain which field components contribute to the point at P. Draw the electric field for this charge distribution for all of space. b. Determine mathematically the electric field components in the limit that x is much larger than L (x >> L)? Describe the behavior of the electric field (compared to a point charge) using short concise sentences; that is, what electric field does a test charge "see" relative to a point charge field?
