The figure shows a thin plastic rod of length L = 14.4 cm and uniform charge 78.2 fC. (a) In terms of distance d, charge density λ and ε0 find an expression for the electric potential at point P1. Next, substitute variable x for d and find an expression for the magnitude of the component Ex of the electric field at P1 (in terms of d and other variables). (b) What is the direction of Ex relative to the positive direction of the x axis? (c) What is the value of Ex at P1 for x = d = 8.35 cm? (d) From the symmetry in figure determine Ey at P1.
