DIRECTION: Answer the following questions. Solutions should be shown on another

piece of paper. Show illustrations if needed. BOX YOUR FINAL ANSWER.

1. A line of charge with uniform density ρL = 8μC/m exists in air along the z-axis
between 0 ≤ z ≤ 5 cm. Find E at (0, 10 cm, 0).

2. Determine the total charge on the line 0 < x < 6 m if ρL= 20x4 mC/m.

the other?

4. Uniform line charges of 120 nC/m lie along the entire extent of the three
