Electric charge charge is distributed uniformly along a thin rod of length "a", with total charge Q. Take the potential to be zero at infinity find the potential at P. If za, what would be the potential at p? From potential find the electric field at point p for za.

Question

Electric charge charge is distributed uniformly along a thin rod of length "a", with total charge Q. Take the potential to be zero at infinity find the potential at P. If z>>a, what would be the potential at p? From potential find the electric field at point p for z>>a.
