In Fig., positive charge q = 9.25 pC is spread uniformly along a thin nonconducting rod of length L = 16.0 cm. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (relative to the positive direction of the x axis) of the electric field produced at point P, at distance R = 6.00 cm from the rod along its perpendicular bisector ?

Explanation

(a) 13.9 N/C, (b) `+90^(@)` counterclockwise from the +x axis
