Problem21 49

This document discusses the electric field of a wire and an infinite line of charge. For a wire of length 2a centered at the origin along the y-axis, the electric field is given by an equation involving the wire's charge density λ, the permittivity of free space ε0, and the distance x from the wire. For an infinite line of charge, the electric field depends only on the charge density and distance from the line. Graphs of electric field versus position are shown for both cases.

electric field is given by Eq. (21.10).
 1 λ
E= iˆ
2πε0 x x a + 1
