Question

 . A finite line of positive charge (with linear charge density ) is centered at the origin along density on the x-axis from -1/2L < x < 1/2 L  The electric field E at a point h on the y-axis is given by:   As the line of charge becomes infinite (L -->00), the magnitude of the electric field becomes:  Use Gauss' Law to obtain the result for E as above: Make an accurate and quality sketch... with clearly identifying E (field lines), the Gaussian surface chosen, differential Area vector dA relative angles, etc. This is all needed to determine the electric flux  

Explanation / Answer

The relationship between the net electric flux through a closed surface, called a gaussian surface, and the charge enclosed by the surface; is known as Gauss
