A rod lies along the x-axis with one end at the origin and the other at `x rarr oo`. It carries a uniform charge `lambda` C/m. The electric field at the point x = -a on the axis will be

A

`vec(E) = (lambda)/(4pi epsilon_(0)a)(-hat(i))`

B

`vec(E) = (lambda)/(4pi epsilon_(0)a)(hat(i))`

C

`vec(E) = (lambda)/(2pi epsilon_(0)a)(-hat(i))`

D

`E = (lambda)/(2pi epsilon_(0)a)(hat(i))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
